Unused features

feeling_to_local - ignored
feeling_to_group - ignored
feeling_to_formation = case_sensitive_string, int
explicit_group - ignored
group_reroll_frequency - ignored
```The feelings and explicit group all call the same subroutine, which tests the reroll (and so it can never be used) and the formation one. The string can be what was indicated, with **any** being the default; it also requires an integer, which is **-1** by default. When this is present, the frequency is reset to **every**, which is default anyway. I didn't track down how the values were actually used, if indeed they were. Once it occurs once, any other occurrence is ignored.

Im still only bumping in the scrap!
Damn what Im missing?

@Adoxa: Yeah, i’ve checked - “null emotions” as we say…
Wondering to do some tests

cvekiboy

huh at least not my end!
Ok, thanks for info!

@Adoxa also got [RandomMission] at content.dll - is this header somewhere used?

? Offline

@SuManUti Huh yours code looks odd - when be at home will do minimalistic example for you

cvekiboy

K no rush!
Even putting only your code in .ini works but without success!

Xalrok

Sort of unused: DATA/RANDOMMISSIONS/killablesolars.ini:

only_allowed_in_zone_type = rock, lava, ice

It’s on several random mission solars and it must work, because I’ve never had a kill solar mission where the target was an asteroid base. The line that defines a zone as rock, lava or ice doesn’t seem to be used anywhere, however.

In the save game.

@Adoxa thx, i thought - just no saves on my pc, will download then

No DICE m8!
Even in NY I bump in scrap. As I see no any change has to be made in asteroidarch.ini file (vanilla settings) and changing only the Cube section in Li01…debris_field.ini
Can someone confirm having this trouble like me?

? Offline

@Sumanuti yes asteroidarch.ini is unchanged, and changed only “Cube” section of Li01_detroit_debris_field_001.ini

Even dunno - for me works, i have official english distro with official patch and decrypted files by Adoxa’s Tini
and no binary hacks.

Last chanse - do not copy-paste, write by hands instant_kill, do not make comments, resulting [Cube] section must look:

[Cube]
asteroid = debris_small1, -0.7, 0.3, 0.2, 0, 20, 190, instant_kill 
asteroid = debris_med2, -0.3, -0.3, 0.8, 85, 0, 185, instant_kill
asteroid = debris_large1, -0.2, -0.1, -0.6, 105, 160, 25, instant_kill

adoxa

Whilst fps is read and stored (the default is 5.0), it doesn’t look like it’s used. At least, not for EFT_EQUIP_ATTACHED (atmosphere_burn) or EFT_EQUIP_ATTACHED_LARGE (gf_blhazard_01).

Timmy51m

Some of the textures in the FX files are made up of frames, like smoke, lightning, explosions etc. I think the fps are setup in the txm file though.

Strange parameter at vignettecriticalloot.ini:

why_desired

why_desired = <int>, <int>or
why_desired = <int>seems to be has no effect :/</int></int></int>

adoxa

To be pedantic, both ints are required (you get away with it in text mode, but in bini mode you’ll get the message box saying it doesn’t exist). However, as you say, it doesn’t seem to be used (removed all but the escape pod loot and took an arrest job, breakpoint wasn’t triggered).

File select_equip.ini section [TradeLane]:

Thx Rim - intresting, seems to be inherit used like for pilots
