Unused features

I’ve never really tried, but I always felt it’d be logical if inherit was a global property that always worked and just looked for another block of the same type and appended whatever code was in it.

Considering it seems to work for a lot of things, who knows…

RimShot

it definitely works in more areas, but i didn’t manage to track them all down with the debugger yet.

Ok, Rim don’t think that i deny it - will try as you said when will be at home
Yeah agreed too many references…

Got other not-checked “inherits”:

[Asteroid]
inherit = <nickname>

[DynamicAsteroid]
inherit = <nickname>

[AsteroidMine]
inherit = <nickname></nickname></nickname></nickname>

at *_equip.ini

[<equipment>]
inherit = <nickname></nickname></equipment>

RimShot

hehe, found the same, read@Equipment and LoadAsteroids. the breakpoints are triggered so they should work.

Relating to storyline scripts, I dug up a few interesting strings in Content.dll a while back:

Act_SpawnShipRel
Act_SetFlee
Act_RepChangeRequest
Act_RelocateForm
Act_PlayerForm
Act_PilotParams

Cnd_CmpToPlane
Cnd_JumpgateAct
Cnd_RumorHeard

I never tested these very thoroughly but Rasauul did conduct quite a respectable amount of experiments. Most of his findings can be found on this thread from TLR:
Storyline Mission Tutorial

? Offline

Maybe somewhere present at inet - have not checked.

About storyline script got:

Act_ChangeState = SUCCEED, SILENT

It will tell only to find job without mission succeed message.

Seems to be SILENT you may add to any action, not only to Act_Destroy

Next (not checked):

InitState = ACTIVE we know.
Another values are INACTIVE, COMPLETE

Next (not checked):
Act_ChangeState = NO_STATE

themilkman

Great finds He11oween.

A few more from content.dll:

Cnd_InZone = (bool), (ship), (type)

Types are: OBJECT_ZONE, EXCLUSION_ZONE, NEBULA_ZONE, DUST_ZONE

Will fire if ship is or is not in the specified type of zone, depending on bool.

Cnd_JumpgateAct
(No idea what this one does)

Act_PlayNN
(No idea what this one does)

Cnd_JumpgateAct intresting intresting…
Seems to be Cnd_JumpgateAct = true, Player, Li01_to_Li05 need find time to check

Optlist.ini

Maybe someone already know, but…
I have noticed 4 last lines not fitting in interface, tried to move them up:

At the Audio and Video menu screens you will se new options too.

Are they worked - i have not noticed, maybe of my mod.
For example i have changed Flak’s optlist.ini for english screenshot because my mod uses other language.

i found these options a while back … they all work, infact i was told that the sound range options helped sounds while in turret view (zoomturret) in the underverse.

As here: http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/viewtopic.php?post_id=53377#forumpost53377 - just copy-paste the code into your optlist.ini

robocop

I note that in Khayman’s middle screenshot there are two additional checkboxes that show up for the Audio settings page.

INTERFACE VOLUME and
AMBIENCE VOLUME

What do those settings do and what is the info you would add to the optlist.ini file to make those appear?

TIA

khayman

They turn on/off ambient sounds and interface volume (the lil beep/noise when your mouse moves over buttons)

heres the code for the lot:

Cool stuff

robocop

Need to check the video section again, space detail is listed twice and difficulty (in general settings) is also listed at the end.

Also you’re listing some sound elements in the section as well.

How about this as a final version?

Also, I note that the 16-bit dither line doesn’t show up. Perhaps not enough room on the page? I removed the linefeed line from the performance section to get it to scroll up one line but it still didn’t show.

robocop

Yeah, the 16bit dither line needs to be reexamined. Moving it up the list just adds a linefeed to its new location.

I think it works on my laptop for some reason. I seem to recall seeing it there. I’ll check that out next.

khayman

It’s looking good robocop

The bottom few in my post may have been there in the vanilla file or put there when i was trying this out.

option = (ids name), (ids info?/tool tip name?/function?), the next bit depends on the function, like a slider or a check box… i was looking through some .dlls looking for the names and came across both id names and i think it might be character sensitive, but im not sure.

oh yeah the space detail bit should have this:
option = 1404, 1775, 100, true, false, 0, 100;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;SPACE DETAIL
option = 1405, 1776, 100, true, false, 0, 100;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;NEBULAR DETAIL

simple typo, my bad

The difficulty setting may want to look like this:
option = 1407, -1, 2, true, false ;DIFFICULTY SP only
but again im not sure.

***M.o.D.***

great findings thx for sharing

i deleted the linefeeds @ the [Interface] section and added one at the top of the [Audio] section. (it fits better in my eyes)

I changed the dll strings with the help of captain capslock so it looks right.

now it looks very nice

robocop

I recall that the 16 bit dither line worked in the vanilla install of FL but not after the SDK or the JFLP update was applied. I’m gonna try to unbini the original options file to see what comes out.
