Ok, Rim don’t think that i deny it - will try as you said when will be at home
Yeah agreed too many references…

[A Former User]

Got other not-checked “inherits”:

[Asteroid]
inherit = <nickname>

[DynamicAsteroid]
inherit = <nickname>

[AsteroidMine]
inherit = <nickname></nickname></nickname></nickname>

at *_equip.ini

[<equipment>]
inherit = <nickname></nickname></equipment>

[RimShot]

hehe, found the same, read@Equipment and LoadAsteroids. the breakpoints are triggered so they should work.

Relating to storyline scripts, I dug up a few interesting strings in Content.dll a while back:

Act_SpawnShipRel
Act_SetFlee
Act_RepChangeRequest
Act_RelocateForm
Act_PlayerForm
Act_PilotParams

Cnd_CmpToPlane
Cnd_JumpgateAct
Cnd_RumorHeard

I never tested these very thoroughly but Rasauul did conduct quite a respectable amount of experiments. Most of his findings can be found on this thread from TLR:
Storyline Mission Tutorial

[A Former User]

Maybe somewhere present at inet - have not checked.

About storyline script got:

Act_ChangeState = SUCCEED, SILENT

It will tell only to find job without mission succeed message.

Seems to be SILENT you may add to any action, not only to Act_Destroy

Next (not checked):

InitState = ACTIVE we know.
Another values are INACTIVE, COMPLETE

Next (not checked):
Act_ChangeState = NO_STATE

[themilkman]

Great finds He11oween.

A few more from content.dll:

Cnd_InZone = (bool), (ship), (type)

Types are: OBJECT_ZONE, EXCLUSION_ZONE, NEBULA_ZONE, DUST_ZONE

Will fire if ship is or is not in the specified type of zone, depending on bool.

Cnd_JumpgateAct
(No idea what this one does)

Act_PlayNN
(No idea what this one does)

[A Former User]

Cnd_JumpgateAct intresting intresting…
Seems to be Cnd_JumpgateAct = true, Player, Li01_to_Li05 need find time to check

Optlist.ini

Maybe someone already know, but…
I have noticed 4 last lines not fitting in interface, tried to move them up:

At the Audio and Video menu screens you will se new options too.

Are they worked - i have not noticed, maybe of my mod.
For example i have changed Flak’s optlist.ini for english screenshot because my mod uses other language.

[khayman]

i found these options a while back … they all work, infact i was told that the sound range options helped sounds while in turret view (zoomturret) in the underverse.

[A Former User]

As here: http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/viewtopic.php?post_id=53377#forumpost53377 - just copy-paste the code into your optlist.ini

[robocop]

I note that in Khayman’s middle screenshot there are two additional checkboxes that show up for the Audio settings page.

INTERFACE VOLUME and
AMBIENCE VOLUME

What do those settings do and what is the info you would add to the optlist.ini file to make those appear?

TIA

[khayman]

They turn on/off ambient sounds and interface volume (the lil beep/noise when your mouse moves over buttons)

heres the code for the lot:

Cool stuff

[robocop]

Need to check the video section again, space detail is listed twice and difficulty (in general settings) is also listed at the end.

Also you’re listing some sound elements in the section as well.

How about this as a final version?

Also, I note that the 16-bit dither line doesn’t show up. Perhaps not enough room on the page? I removed the linefeed line from the performance section to get it to scroll up one line but it still didn’t show.

[robocop]

Yeah, the 16bit dither line needs to be reexamined. Moving it up the list just adds a linefeed to its new location.

I think it works on my laptop for some reason. I seem to recall seeing it there. I’ll check that out next.

[khayman]

It’s looking good robocop

The bottom few in my post may have been there in the vanilla file or put there when i was trying this out.

option = (ids name), (ids info?/tool tip name?/function?), the next bit depends on the function, like a slider or a check box… i was looking through some .dlls looking for the names and came across both id names and i think it might be character sensitive, but im not sure.

oh yeah the space detail bit should have this:
option = 1404, 1775, 100, true, false, 0, 100;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;SPACE DETAIL
option = 1405, 1776, 100, true, false, 0, 100;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;NEBULAR DETAIL

simple typo, my bad

The difficulty setting may want to look like this:
option = 1407, -1, 2, true, false ;DIFFICULTY SP only
but again im not sure.

[***M.o.D.***]

great findings thx for sharing

i deleted the linefeeds @ the [Interface] section and added one at the top of the [Audio] section. (it fits better in my eyes)

• I changed the dll strings with the help of captain capslock so it looks right.

now it looks very nice

[robocop]

I recall that the 16 bit dither line worked in the vanilla install of FL but not after the SDK or the JFLP update was applied. I’m gonna try to unbini the original options file to see what comes out.

[robocop]

OK, here’s the final final…

The 16bit dither line doesn’t appear until you choose a 16bit video setting (and who would do that nowadays anyway…?)

At any rate, I moved that selection box to the General page right below the resolution setting and above the Gamma setting.

Now everything will fit on each page.

Here’s the code:

[robocop]

Although…
It occurred to me that moving the 16bit dither line from the section (Performance page in the options) to the [interface] section (General page in the options) may cause it to be ignored by FL as it’s not in the section it’s presumably looking for it.

I know that the box is selectable and automatically comes up checked when choosing a 16bit setting but I can’t verify that it actually does what it’s supposed to do in that location.
