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

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>

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

Not checked.

[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

[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.

For the Cruise Time and Speed entries look in the good old “Speed Mod” in Flmm. Good to note that the cruise sound has the 5 sec fuse here so if you mod faster time from 0 to cruise max then insure the sound file is either
Cut or remade to play at the same speed. (eg: 2 seconds from starting cruise cycle to finish, then remake the sound file for 2 sec too. The old. “Speed Mod” didn’t and still plays for 5 sec no matter what value the cruise cycle is set for.

At any data\universe\systems\xxnn\xxnn.ini

[DynSysInfo]
nickname = xxnn
...

Value skipped?

adoxa

It is read ([c]nickname[/c] is the only value) and stored (even if it doesn’t exist) and there are multiple references to the storage, but that’s as far as I went.

? Offline

Hoho. The same with DynBaseInfo
Seems to be at initialworld.ini

? Offline

At the intro.ini

[EncounterParameters]
nickname = area_scavenger_fighters
filename = missions\encounters\spacepop\scenes\area_scavenger_fighters-F.ini
faction = fc_j_grp

faction alternative for zone parameter?
