Unused features

[A Former User]

Guys, checked “inherit” at [ship] section.

This works:

[Ship]
nickname = pi_elite2
inherit = pi_elite
ship_class = 3
ids_name = 012021

Except when you click nav map - it gives CTD
So, inheriting ships i think no to critical and no reason to summon Adoxa

When I used inherit on ships it gave me some slight FPS drops and FL would stay running in the background after I would quit it normally, needing a force quit.

[A Former User]

Ah forgot to say - i’ve tried multiplayer, not SP.

EDIT: Checked again - all works, no ctd, no background processes after quit.

[d]P.S. But DSAM does not support this ;([/d]

Checked solar:

[solar] ; <-- works
inherit = <nickname>; <-- fine</nickname>

Concerting [effect]

lgt_color = 0, 0, 255 ;<-- for example blue
```Not tested yet.

Its Capt. Obvious research than unused feature, but…

[Gun]
...
DA_archetype = equipment\models\turret\weapons_platform_turret.cmp
...

[LOD]
obj = Root
LODranges = 0, 400

[LOD]
obj = barrel
LODranges = 0, 700  

must be

[Gun]
...
DA_archetype = equipment\models\turret\weapons_platform_turret.cmp
...

[LOD]
obj = Root
LODranges = 0, 400

[LOD]
obj = Guns ;<-- right way
LODranges = 0, 700  

So look at the model objects by HardCMP for example to know what object to put into [LOD] section

[Thaddeus]

Doh! yet another column to add to the spreadsheet

[Daywalker]

thanks for sharing this!

great stuff.

Grave dig here, but where is the ini for Helloween’s post #70?
Also is there a way to force fl to run

[Display]
size= 1600, 900
color_bpp= 32
depth_bpp= 32 instead of 24

If so does it make a difference, reason being the starspheres
I’ve made look great in photoshop (saved at 32bit tar) but as
soon as they are in fl, they are not as sharp or clear. Any work around?

[FriendlyFire]

You’re trying to set the depth buffer to 32 bits per pixel. That doesn’t exist. It’s got nothing to do with your starspheres.

[Alucard]

Good to know, thanks FF.
Any idea though why fl doesn’t render starspheres clearly?

[FriendlyFire]

It’s FL. Don’t think there’s much else to say than that.

[A Former User]

Goggled, digged FL, but no answer… So:

[storyinfo]
ship_bought = false
mission = GenericMission ;<-- Free Fly? OpenSP?
missionnum = 0
delta_worth = -1.000000

Next it will give at player .fl file something like this:

[StoryInfo]
ship_bought = false
Mission = GenericMission
MissionNum = 1048442696 ;<-- random number
delta_worth = -1.000000
debug = 0

[Pascal05]

After the game missions are complete;
[StoryInfo]
ship_bought = true
Mission = No_Mission
MissionNum = 42
delta_worth = -1.000000
debug = 0

Works like a bookmark for your saved game.

[Bas]

What happens if you go debug = 1; though?

[adoxa]

Nothing (it’s written & read, but not accessed).

[Jeider]

[StoryInfo]
Mission = GenericMission, \missions\m01a\m01a.ini
MissionNum = 0
delta_worth = -1
```Use script from any file (lost after save game/autosave).

For example:

Mission = GenericMission, \missions\redmoon.ini

[A Former User]

Wow. Thx. Will try

[A Former User]

Googled everywhere but not found… active_effect - seems to be concerting [TradeLane] section

[adoxa]

Nope.

[RepairDroid]
; common equipment stuff
repair_rate = <float>active_effect = <effect_nickname>; don't know what type of effect</effect_nickname></float> 
```Didn't try creating one, although it does seem it will be used, possibly after you return to base.
