Does anyone know the 'empty' Property_Flags value?
-
I want a donut-shaped (that is: a circle, with a smaller empty circle inside of it) to appear as such on the navmap.
I’ve added property_flags = 131072 to the exclusion entry, but this doesn’t work entirely satisfying. Does aynone happen to know which value I should use?
What I want is, a property_flags value that looks just like the background of the navmap, withoud asteroid hatchings… I believe there is one, but I forgot which one it is…

Aren’t exclusions coded with visit = 128?No, visit = 128 means “do not show on NavMap and let this item never be known to player”, so actually visiting it will still not add it to the NavMap.
I’m sure there will be exclusion zones with a visit = 128 in the game files, but in this case, it would make my exlusion zone not appearing at all on the NavMap - quite the opposite of what I want.
I tried it out though, just in case my assumtions were wrong, but I can confirm what I just said.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

No sorry, but there was definitely a thread on which should now be in the archive about which/what/where property flags are/were - but off the top of my head, no.

At work I remembered and intended to try out the 65536 value, or 2^16, as it was the highest address location (or actually, the highest plus one) on the ZX Spectrum (in ancient times, before ‘personal’ computers, there were ‘home’ computers, the ZX Spectrum being one of those. 16K rom, and 48K ram, about the size of a small .jpg image, yet an entire game could be stuffed on it.)

Sorry to dredge up such an old topic, but was this ever sorted? I’m in the same boat as Moonhead: I want to make a ring-shaped zone, and I need to have something that essentially looks like an exclusion zone on the map, except it completely removes the asteroid icons instead of just making them appear fainter.
