Weapon groups have always been a bit buggy. The best way to get them to work is to start with group 6 and work up, rather than group 1 and going down. I have done this for years and it’s worked perfectly.

You can position elements independently, so just

[HUDShift] ManeuverBar = 0, 0.12 ```should work.

It is very unlikely, if you haven’t seen it around here or on ModDB.

There’s none, that’s why you’re being directed to the ALE Editor.

The only previewer is Freelancer itself.

I still have Cshake’s PHP script for parsing infocard DLLs and dumping the data to MySQL. I’ve added you on Skype and will send you it.

Right, apologies for misunderstanding the question.

I’m not aware of any way to do it as you ask.

Intresting. Will take a note!

Equip Mass adds both the mass of Equipment AND Cargo to the ship’s mass.

Thanks Rita ;D

I think I was editing the wrong file for commodity mass. I saw that they all have volume= but none of them (or very few of them) have mass= declarations. I tried editing it in but didnt get any noticeable results, now I think I might have been editing the wrong file.

Anyway I dont think its important. Mass is not significant for what I’m looking at. The ranges are too tight. Thanks though

There is a need to define thing you carry that will fix reputation on each dock/undock. Setting one to be 0.91 should automatically assign Faction affiliation.

I know how to do it by changing reputation. What I’m looking for is a way to change the primary affiliation directly, without touching the reputation.

Your IFF doesnt change everytime a reputation goes to .9 so something is making a decision to set IFF and then affecting the change, while choosing not to do so at other times. I assume there is a discrete call in the game for this, that’s what I’m looking for.

Okay this is good info.

I looked at the SUR data with the FL model tool in the first reply and am a little overwhelmed by the data dump. Also did some more research and the math required to calculate volume of a 3D model from triangles seems pretty intense. It also requires that the model be fully closed, which is not the case with many of the models.

Now that I know the numbers are meters, it seems like a pretty easy thing to get dimensions by adding and moving hardpoints. IE, wingspan, nose-to-tail, etc, can be determined by adding hardpoints and manually recording the offset. Once I have that data I can make oblong spheres for consistent relative size.

Not something that can be automated right away, but at least its a usable technique to get a basic shape. And if I add reference hard-points to each model, then it probably can be automated.
