Can I get stock explosions back?
I know some don't like them but....I do. I think they're removed from TWOs. Is it possible to replace the ones in TWOs with stock game explosions and does anyone have a file/mod?

Not aware of any such mod but, have you unchecked Reduced Fires and Explosions addon in JGSME? That addon might be the cause of fewer expolsions in your game.

Yeah it’s unchecked. I liked the original fireworks and they seem to have been changed.

Restoring them might be a relatively easy task, but I don't know whether the particle effect which included them was reworked to look more sober or simply removed, nor I know the name of that effect. Deducing that information from the comparison of stock and modded files might take longer than actually restoring the old effect once you know how to do it. |

Do you know which folder they’d be in? I’d like the original smoke back too.
Do any of the modders who worked on this have any idea? |

I think the only way I can get the original zones file is to uninstall TWOs and download the stock game again.
Does anyone have the original file? |

I have a version of Zone.cfg 29-01-2010 that I found in an old save of SH5 in the Backup folder of the MODS folder that JSGME creates when it activates and replaces old files, and in any case before having installed TWoS. I almost certainly think it is the stock version 1.20. The file I found is Zones.cfg 53,809 bytes 29-01-2010. This is a small MOD to activate with JSGME: Stock Zone.cfg.zip This is the link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/yod8i...e.cfg.zip/file Torpedo P.S.

For other subsim buddies who might be interest in restoring the same effect, what was its name? |

Gap, it’s the zones.cfg that Torpedo kindly linked in the above post. Just bung it in JGSME and you’re good to go.

As I said before, you should compare the two files and restore in the TWoS' version of that file, the stock lines responsible for the "fireworks" |

Ok Gap thanks for the advice. I’ll take a look, test it and if it works I’ll post the new file.
