Modular Fireball Table

• xxx-fbl.tbm
• For the modular version of the fireball table, after the $Name: entry, there are 6 possible options and at least one is required. These special entries are neither required nor supported in the standard fireball.tbl file, they are only for TBMs. No entry in the modular table will ever be created since there can only be 6 options currently, they are only listed to modify an existing entry. None of the 6 options are required in any order and you don't have to list all 6 in one TBM.
  • +Explosion_Medium
    • Specified name and LOD count will be used for the medium explosion effect
  • +Warp_Effect
    • Specified name and LOD count used for the normal warp effect
  • +Knossos_Effect
    • Specified name and LOD count for the knossos/special warp effect
  • +Asteroid
