Originally, weapon_expl.tbl recorded the number of LODs for each explosion image. As of this writing, however, Fs2_open no longer needs or even uses weapon_expl.tbl; it detects LODs automatically, based on the filename.

Regardless, when FS2 searches for additional LODs, it will use the animation with the specified name for LOD0, and then use "NAME_#" for additional LODs.

  • Example: ExpMissileHit1.eff (LOD 0), ExpMissileHit1_1.eff (LOD1)
