« on: June 11, 2008, 12:28:34 pm »

NOTE: This is not trunk build, the features in it may not be included to the trunk

Download link. FS Open SVN 4660.

Features:

Code:

New turret flags:
"fixed firingpoints"
- forces game to use only single firingpoint for a specific weapon.
- maximum of 3 primaries and 4 secondaries.
- requires "use multiple guns" flag.
"salvo mode"
- uses the first defined weapon
- fires the weapon from all the firingpoints simultaneously.
- every weapon aimed independently.
"fire on target"
- prevents the turret from firing unless the turret points at the target
"no subsystem targeting"
- prevents the turret from targeting without orders the subsystems of target ship.
- causes more random distribution of shots on the enemy ship.
"reset when idle"
- if turret has no targets it resets to its initial position
- if animation code is used, uses the first 'initial' instance it finds

Subsystem options:
---- after last of $Default SBanks:/$SBank Capacity:/$Engine Wash: ----
$AliveSnd:
- identifier of the sound played if the subsystem is alive. (integer)
$DeadSnd:
- identifier of the sound played if the subsystem is destroyed. (integer)
$RotationSnd:
- identifier of the generic rotation sound. (integer)
$Turret Base RotationSnd:
- identifier of the turret base rotation sound. (integer)
$Turret Gun RotationSnd:
- identifier of the turret gun rotation sound. (integer)
$Turret BaseSnd Volume:
- multiplier for turret base rotation volume. (float)
$Turret GunSnd Volume:
- multiplier for turret gun rotation volume. (float)
---- AWACS entry ----
$Maximum Barrel Elevation:
- defines the maximum elevation in degrees allowed for the barrels of a turret. (integer, 0 to 90)
$Turret Base FOV:
- defines the maximum FOV for the turret base. (integer, 0 to 359)
- forces more complicated turret fov tests.
- if target is past the turrets rotation limit it turns around via the front direction

Ship options:
---- After $Thruster: entry, just before subsystem entries ----
$Ship IFF Colors:/$Ship IFF Colours:
- allows alternate ship specific IFF colors. (no input)
+Seen By:
- iff from the color is observed (name of iff entry - probably most often Friendly)
+When IFF Is:
- which IFF type is changed (name of iff entry - probably most often Friendly)
+As Color:
- defines the alternate IFF color. (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Radar Image 2D:
- alternate option for using bitmaps instead of blips on radar (filename)
$Radar Image Size:
- image size in pixels when using 2D radar (integer)
$3D Radar Blip Size Multiplier:
- multiplier for the radar blip size when using 3D radar (float)

Additional IFF_defs.tbl options
---- after the initial traitor entry ----
$Selection Color:/$Selection Colour:
- defines the target frame colors for selected items, like asteroids etc. (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Message Color:/$Message Colour:
- defines the target frame colors for objects that is currently sending a message to player (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Tagged Color:/$Tagged Colour:
- defines the target frame colors for tagged objects (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Dimmed IFF brightness:
- defines the intensity of the hud color alpha value on 'dimmed' objects of the hud and radar (integer, 0 to 15)
- default is 4
$Use Alternate Blip Coloring:
- allows game to use uniform blip coloring method instead of using one for ships and other for rest of the radar blips. (boolean)
$Missile Blip Color:/$Missile Blip Colour:
- defines the alternate color for missile blips (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Navbuoy Blip Color:/$Navbuoy Blip Colour:
- defines the alternate color for navbuoy blips (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Warping Blip Color:/$Warping Blip Colour:
- defines the alternate color for warping in blips (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Node Blip Color:/$Node Blip Colour:
- defines the alternate color for jump node blips (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
$Tagged Blip Color:/$Tagged Blip Colour:
- defines the alternate color for tagged target blips (three integers, Red, Green, Blue)
---- rest of the IFF_defs.tbl ----

Objecttypes.tbl option:
---- after $Warp Pushable: ----
$Turrets prioritize ship target:
- forces ship turrets to prioritize ships targets (boolean)
- set to 'true' on fighters and bombers by default - setting it to 'false' for them allows their turrets to target more freely
---- continues with $Max Debris Speed: ----

Sexps...
change-iff-color
Sets the specified ship(s) or wing(s) apparent color.
Takes 6 or more arguments...
1: Name of the team from which target is observed from.
2: Name of the team of the observed target to receive the alternate color.
3: Red color (value from 0 to 255).
4: Green color (value from 0 to 255).
5: Blue color (value from 0 to 255).
Rest: Name of ship or wing to change team status of.
turret-subsys-target-disable
Prevents turrets from targeting only the subsystems when targeting large targets
1: Ship to be operated on
Rest: List of turrets that are affected
turret-subsys-target-enable
Sets turret to target the subsystems when targeting large targets
1: Ship to be operated on
Rest: List of turrets that are affected

EDIT: bah.. just noticed the list lacked a couple of options...
Some more features...

Code:

Ships.tbl option
---- After $Slide decel:/$Glide:/$Autoaim FOV: entries before the custon warping entries ----
$Convergence:
- defines the use of convergence and the settings of it (no input)
- autoaim assumed to take precedence over convergence
- automatic convergence takes precedence over standard convergence
+Automatic
- defines that automatic convergence is in use (no input)
+Minimum Distance:
- defines the minimum range of the autoconvergence (float)
- if the target is closer than this game uses this distance instead of the range for the convergence
+Standard
- defines that a fixed range convergence is in use (no input)
+Distance:
- defines the convergence distance
+Offset:
- defines the offset vector for the convergence (vector - like velocity entries)
- allows convergence to be centered elsewhere than only on the ships 'centerline'
- works with both automatic and manual convergence

Weapons.tbl option
---- After swarm/swarmwait entry ----
+No Swarming Movement:
- defines that even if weapon is of swarming type it has no swarming movement ie. random small changes (boolean)
- basically toggles from swarm to burst fire with homing weapons.
- might cut down some math when used with non-homing weapons.

Weapon flags
"smart spawn"
- forces turrets to fire spawn type warheads like any other missiles
- without this flag spawns fire from turret without a target along turrets normal
"inherit parent target"
- phreak's earlier addition to the unstable branch
- causes the child munitions acquire parent weapons target if it had any.
