Unused features

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

Doh! yet another column to add to the spreadsheet

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?

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.

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

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

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.
Pascal05

What happens if you go debug = 1; though?

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

[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

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?..

[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.
