Frequntly asked questions

I will add question asked about the script to this page. The first question are some that I came up with my self.

What is this?

Freestyle's Nuclear Blast is a complete rewrite of my original Realistic Nukes script. The aim of this project is to recreate the functionality of the original script while increasing performance and modifiability and simultaniously decrease bugs.

Will all features of the orginal be included in this version? / Why is feature X missing?

My goal is to have as many of the orginal features as possible in this version too. However it is important for me, that the script keeps performing well and that no bugs are introduced. Therefore some features might take longer until they are added or might even be ommited for until I found a good way to implement them. Here is a list of the features which are still missing from the orginal and the reason why they are not added yet:

  • Malfunctional avionics, the orginal script was a odd workaround, will be added once I know how to implement it better
  • Fallout, fallout is hard to model correctly, I did not really like the solution I used in the orginal, again it might be added once I find a satisfying solution (as of March 2023 I added a simple version, where units close to the origin of the blast are irradiated after the explosion)
  • Air mode, air mode was already experimental in the orginal, it did not serve any real purpose
  • ACE Medical Compatability, will be added in the next update, the script has some basics for compatability already included, I just have to tweak the damage values correctly (compatability is now given, however damage values might require more tweaking)

Will there be a mod version of this?

At the moment I will focus on the script. I might create a mod version later on, but won't make any promises. Yes, it is available now: Freestyles Nuclear Bombs

Can I use or edit this script for my own mission or mod?

Yes, of course! I licensed this script under the Arma Public License. You are only required to credit me, mentioning my name (Freestyle_Build) and linking to this repository is sufficient.
