Well, a bit quick and dirty to be honest, but best I could do in the time!

Enjoy! :wink: Major kudos to the dev team and CMcL's fireworks OXP.

That is great Drew,

Thanks to McLane as well.

I promise to change your character name to Drew rather than drew in the next release.

It needs the missiles and bombs oxp to be loaded as well. Or just watch my vid! :wink:

What Drew said. It's also in the ReadMe, and on the Wiki page where you downloaded it from:
Also, Missiles and Bombs.oxp is required.
As an extra service, though, at least on the Wiki I could make that into a link.

Done.

BTW: the use of these missiles and bombs models is part of the backstory of fireworks, which I haven't yet elaborated upon. After all the used missile model is the fragmentation missiles, which is packed with smaller warheads. Therefore all the fireworks manufacturer has to do is to replace the warheads with smaller copies of the missile itself (and these contain harmless loads). :D

That's what I get for over exuberance and just going ahead without reading the READ ME (I think the clue is in the name) :oops:

Great stuff! I like the 'swords to ploughshares' backstory. Have you tried using different colours? I did something similar when I first did the chaff/flare launcher but it wasn't nearly as pretty!

Thanks for the heads-up! :D

The main issue to maximize prettiness was to get the timing right. randomPauseAI was a big help. And to give the first missile the right amount of pitch and roll to make for the slightly curved, fireworks-like flight path. Oolite is doing all the rest with its plain, unmodified explosions (which have come a looong way since 1.65; I don't think it would've been possible back then).

Do you mean different colours for the explosions? Is that even possible? As I said, it's nothing more than the standard becomeExplosion in the AI. But if we can somehow modify the explosion colours, I'd be very interested in that.
