Unused features

Googled but got nothing about it.

In any system ini file under…
[systeminfo] (for what btw?)
or
[object]

we may use
rpop_solar_detection
like true or false

Example is present at st03.ini of Vanilla FL.

You may use also:

[object]
nickname = base1
base = base1_base
dock_with = base1_base
rpop_solar_detection = false
...

```and NPC will not know that object is dockable?
Not tried yet.

At universe.ini:

ship_sml_01 =
ship_sml_02 =
ship_sml_03 =
ship_mdm_01 =
ship_mdm_02 =
ship_mdm_03 =
ship_lrg_01 =
ship_lrg_02 =
ship_lrg_03 =

What it means? I may see flying ships like asteroids from the bar trough the window?

P.S. Tried just to give ship archetype or asteroid archetype - nothing happens

Ah. Got it.
We may take from .thn:

template_name = “rtcprop_l_cruiser”

or

template_name = “$ship_lrg_01”
with universe.ini where ship_lrg_01 = rtcprop_l_cruiser

So it is not useful.

OFF TOPIC:

Anyone know where to find the mod that has the color scheme the UI uses in khayman’s screenshots on the previous page? The black or dark UI I really like…

ON TOPIC:

Awesome work guys!

Here is one in DM Dark Theme - Camera add-on
Gives few more options as-well.
Note: Registration required

Killablesolars.ini:
solar_type may be:
big_solar ; we know it works
defensive_solar ; -//-
background_solar ;?
killable_neutral ; ?

Solarformations.ini:
type may be:
big_solar_formation ; we know it works
defensive_outpost_formation; -//-
battle_background_formation ; ?
loot_group_formation ; ?

As bonus:
You may add into [KillableSolar] section for example
base = li01_01_base
it will work

Seems to be addon may contain 4 parameters.
Example:

addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight07, 1, mid ; <-- in the center of hp?
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight07, 1, high ; <-- higher?

```Not checked.

Guys, checked “inherit” at [ship] section.

This works:

[Ship]
nickname = pi_elite2
inherit = pi_elite
ship_class = 3
ids_name = 012021

Except when you click nav map - it gives CTD
So, inheriting ships i think no to critical and no reason to summon Adoxa

When I used inherit on ships it gave me some slight FPS drops and FL would stay running in the background after I would quit it normally, needing a force quit.

Ah forgot to say - i’ve tried multiplayer, not SP.

EDIT: Checked again - all works, no ctd, no background processes after quit.

[d]P.S. But DSAM does not support this ;([/d]

Checked solar:

[solar] ; <-- works
inherit = <nickname>; <-- fine</nickname> 

Concerting [effect]

lgt_color = 0, 0, 255 ;<-- for example blue
```Not tested yet.

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
