Hack Request/ Enable Unused Feature

I searched every file (under DATA) and the lights that use lightsource_cone aren’t referenced (as strings, anyway). Adding it and intensity to LargeWhiteSpecial had no effect (at least, not with the Starflier’s headlight). Intensity was tested for 0 (which is its default), but nothing further; lightsource_cone (its default is 180) didn’t break at all. Could be some other variable needs to be set for them to be used, and/or the headlight wasn’t a good example.

Adding a light to Starflier’s HpBayDoor01 results in the attached image. The first and second are the standard WhiteCone and engine_green_glow; the third I called GlowGreen, created as:

[Light]
nickname = GlowGreen
inherit = Green
bulb_size = 0
glow_size = 8

```With a bit of experimentation, you could probably come up with something that satisfies.

The picture seems to be broken.

Interesting, hmmmmm…

The attachment browse button wasn’t working (a problem my side, I think), so I put it on my site. Button’s working again (started Firefox in safe mode, still didn’t work, started normally, worked; go figure), so I attached it.

As far as I can tell, lightsource_cone has no effect, even though it is used - once you bypass a test: Freelancer.exe, 131D2B, 0F94C0->B00190. Intensity must also be non-zero.

Light source in Freelancer are limited. This limit is 4 lightsources. You can change this value?

No. You’re going to have to wait for the DirectX 9 port Freeworlds is developing.

Ok
And what about “use_animation = Sc_fire” in weapon_equip.ini? All guns have this animation, but not use it.

You’re such a tease FF.

They do use Sc_fire, it’s just not apparent (I hacked the animation to use the bay doors - fire the gun and the doors open).

How this make visible?

Is the gun fired meant to have an animation calles sc_fire, or is the ship that fires the weapon?
