Explosion Chunks

Bring back the chaos! Ships, pilots, and buildings now explode into real, physics-driven debris — just like the original Battlezone.

“Remember in the original Battlezone how ships and buildings would fly apart when destroyed?
It was visually awesome and satisfying — and for some reason, Redux didn’t prioritize that feature.”

This mod restores one of the most iconic visual effects from classic Battlezone —
ships and buildings that explode into real, physical debris and scrap!

It completely overhauls all stock explosion effects, replacing them with detailed, physics-based chunk systems that bounce, explode, and leave wreckage behind.

This mod is about 90% complete.
Each faction now has its own unique explosion set, meaning nearly every stock unit and building features individualized debris effects.

• A generic fallback chunk system exists for ships, pilots, and buildings.
• All stock ODFs have been overwritten to spawn faction-accurate debris.
• For example, the Czar tank (“svtank”) spawns actual Czar parts on destruction.
• Custom ODFs not included in the base game will default to generic chunks.

Modder Tip:
If you’re creating your own units, you can integrate support by copying the explosion lines from this mod’s ODFs into yours — ensuring full chunk compatibility.

• Vehicles explode into both small and large chunks using real model pieces.
  
• Buildings disintegrate into debris proportional to their size.
  
• Pilots burst into faction-specific gore and giblets that bounce, splatter, and leave blood trails.
  
• Chunks can bounce, ricochet, and generate scrap that can be scavenged.
  
• Restores the visceral feel and destruction spectacle of Battlezone 1.5.

• This mod works best with stock ODFs (e.g., the normal campaign).
• When used alongside other mods, non-stock units will show generic chunks unless the mod creator integrates support.
• Intended to be a universal enhancement layer for the stock game experience.

• If you experience freezing or launch issues, use the DX9 renderer.
  Add this to your Steam launch options:
  -renderer:dx9
• Some factions use different chunk spawn systems, which may cause slight visual inconsistencies.
  
• A few explosions may appear less detailed or incorrect — future updates may refine these.

Special thanks to Lancelot Chan for extensive testing, debugging, and feedback.

End of Development Notice

Development for this mod is complete.
I do not plan to release further updates or new features.
I may provide critical bug fixes if major issues are reported, but otherwise, this mod should be considered in its final version.
Thank you for understanding — and for all your incredible support over the years!
