Freelancer-related Programming

thank you very much 🙂
seams it work fine now 🙂

ours also incorporates a signature system to display stats and an xml export system for custom parsing.

On and off. I’m still unsure about stability but I haven’t had lots of chances to test so far.

Definitely. Thanks for donating this to the FL community!

Yes, i was going to attach the tractor model to the hardpoint to see how it looked when i ran into issues.

The far I have experimented with the engclass.dll the models of the engines don’t show up, even when mounted on a visible hp.

A program that starts and restarts FLServer if (when) it crashes. The program operates best with flhook sockets as these are used to determine to if the server is operating correctly. The program will restart flserver if too much memory is used, the server takes too long to start up or for automatic daily maintenance. It will also execute arbitrary external commands so you can easily automate your backups and it has pretty graphs…

Configuration options…

**Well I finally succeeded in converting the matrix to rotation angles. I ended up scraping all of the code from before and simply did it thru matrix decomposition, which is where I started out initially.

I have also managed to get it to show the same as it appears in Hard CMP and it’s a much higher precision. HCMP rounds off the rotation values to whole numbers.

I am also able to convert back into the matrix format without any changes to it. The code is still buried in the orientation edit routine in the CMP Editor, I will post it in full form once it is relegated to subroutines. It does require use of DX though unless you are a math guru and can roll your own matrix conversion code. You will see what I mean once the code is posted.

The code uses quaternions but does not require understanding of them. I used those for 2 reasons, no gimbal lock and DX supports only them for decompositions.

A block diagram of the way it works is….
Decompose the FL orientation matrix (3 by 3) by converting it to a 4 x 4 matrix first using D3DXMatrixDecompose.
Convert the Quat to Euler angles. Only X and Y needed, the Z rot is either 0 or 180 degrees, if it’s 180 it requires a special case handling for each + and - states. -90 degrees X also swaps the Y and Z value, simply switching them is enough.
Converting back to quaternions requires simply pocessing the angles in reverse order of the first conversion.
Then simply do a D3DXMatrixTransformation back into a matrix and store it.

Anyways, the code will show how to do it without you needing to fully understand what I did, feel free to dig into the math if you want.**

I recognized the BaseWatcher call when i undocked from a station. So may it has something to do to point the ship to an available undocking point, so if other docks are busy?! Actually i can try to set breakpoints for this call to see where else this will be called… Just a thought to try to figure out for what it is used

@Syd:

Looks cool!
Can it used on MP Servers? 🙂

@M0tah:

It should be compatible with MP and SP, with or without the 1.1 patch.

The funny thing is, I actually remembered coming across FLDev from one of the 88 Flak downloads, found it, and started writing a new method in my program for generating the CSV in-between the original post and your response ^_^

But your additional instructions just made everything much easier. Thanks very much, FF.

cheers 😉

Thanks 🙂
C++ is nothing for me.
Btw Visual basic got some cool futures in 2010 edition.

Patch 1021 released

Fixes Wizard bugs found by Lancer Solarus.
Includes compatability fixes for Lancer Solarus’ Gamedata utility

New Patch for ALPHA TESTERS using the new setup…

Good luck, this adds cheaters log checking functionality, Player maintenance and a few fixes in the wizard for x86 compatability…

installing will reset your settings due to a major difference in the settings file, apologies…

Also Skins are now saved into settings you get the same skin on reboot…

Done, it work! i make some bit mistake before, now it works fine! Thank you M0tah.

Hazard are you OK, long time no hear?
