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.

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.

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

Wow. Thx. Will try

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.

There are things about char files.

interface = 3
```is "known" but i do not remember what it means.

Also values:

log =
logid =

Separate log for each char?..

adoxa

[c]interface[/c] is a bit mask for the Contact List (1) and Weapons List (2). [c]log[/c] forms the entries in your Neural Net Log. [c]logid[/c] is nothing (tested but ignored, not written).

Thx Log seems to be changing when you get random mission.
Useful or not even dunno. I think for FLHook coders who watches mission states may be this additional info

Googled around but nothing about alpha at stararch.ini.

[star_glow]
alpha = <float>, <float>, <float>; color of “transparence”?

Seems to be the same as inner_color and outer_color but for alpha channel.

Not checked.</float></float></float>

? Offline

[shape] ; (seems to be at any *shape.ini file)
…
upper_left = x,y
lower_right = x,y

Not checked.

? Offline

[lens_glow]
…
max_LOD = <float>interior_ray_tween = <float>; time of ray animation oO
interior_tween = <float>; time of just animation of glow?</float></float></float>

? Offline

[VisEffect]
…
has_alpha = true ; or false

Forces freelancer engine to think that this effect contains alpha channel?
I know that Jeider knows this

adoxa

[star_glow]
alpha = <float>, <float>, <float>; color of “transparence”?</float></float></float>

No, it’s [c]alpha = <float>[/c] - read & stored, but not apparently accessed.

[shape] ; (seems to be at any *shape.ini file)
upper_left = x,y
lower_right = x,y

Just seems to be an alternative to [c]x,y,w,h[/c]; there’s also [c]dim[/c], which reads 8 floats.

[lens_glow]
max_LOD = <float>interior_ray_tween = <float>; time of ray animation oO
interior_tween = <float>; time of just animation of glow?</float></float></float>

Used, but didn’t notice any effect ([c]max_LOD[/c] is read as float, but stored as int; the respective defaults are 5, 0.0, 0.5 - subtracted from 1.0).

[VisEffect]
has_alpha = true ; or false

Read & stored, but not apparently accessed.</float>

Thanks. I have checked all too - no visual changes.

Dockable star (blackhole, planet?) with docking script?

[Object]
...
ring = Zone_Br03_ross_ring, solar\rings\ross.ini ; example
burn_color = 255, 222, 160 ;-//-
dock_script = <path to="" thn="" seems="" be="">voice = atc_leg_m01 ; example
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia ; example
star = <star from="" stararch.ini="">...</star></path>

Not checked.
