So, that's ship-specific damage spews, if I read that correctly ?

[WMCoolmon]

Yes. Both Damage and Impact spew are particle emitters, which means they support the following fields in the unstable branch:

+Texture: Texture for each particle
+Relative Position: Position relative to the ship's (Vector)
+Relative Velocity: Velocity relative to the ship's (Vector)
+Relative Normal: Normal relative to the ship's (Vector)
+Normal Variance: How closely particles stick to the normal's. From 0.0-1.0 IIRC
+Min Radius: Smallest particle size (Actual size is randomly chosen between minimum and maximum)
+Max Radius: Largest particle size, ditto.
+Min Speed: Same as radius, but with speed
+Max Speed: Same as radius, but with speed
+Min Lifetime: How long particles last (in seconds), shortest randomized time
+Max Lifetime: How long particles last (in seconds), longest randomized time
+Min Particles: Controls the frequency of particle emission by particle emitter, lower value
+Max Particles: Controls the frequency of particle emission by particle emitter, highest value

Apparently this isn't in the wiki and it isn't common knowledge. I added it a long time ago, in response to a feature request (By DaBrain, IIRC).

[Wanderer]

I was practically unable to run this build with scripting.. any ideas?

Sorry, this build is based on the stable branch. I thought I mentioned that in the earlier post but apparently did not.

I applied the changes to my copy of the unstable branch at the same time, so they will be in the next build I release.

[DaBrain]

I added it a long time ago, in response to a feature request (By DaBrain, IIRC).

I know a mod that badly needed that feature.

And I think you know what we needed it for.

[WMCoolmon]

Yeah I suppose, I do. I don't know why it took so much brain searching to remember that. Oh well, as long as it gets used, I'm happy.

[Black Wolf]

Wait - do these flags mean we can define particles to spew along (more or less) a single plane?

[TrashMan]

Everytihng in this build works fine for mne except one thing in FRED. ..trying ot set the arrivan clue for a ship/wing allways ends up with a chrash

[TrashMan]

I take that BACK...AI seems to have gone on the fritz.

I order my wingman to gaurd a AWACS in an asteroid field and they go fyling off to infinity and beyon..WAAAY away from the ships they're supposed to protect..and it's pummeld by asteroids..
Then I ordered them to cover me..same behavior

Then I order them to attack a pirate wing..and all they do is fly around in circles, just like the pirates!!!!

FYI - this is my AI table:

[karajorma]

Build a new mission with only those basic orders and see if the same thing happens.

[Wanderer]

Also there is the minor detail that accuracy values should be between 0 and 1, not between 0 and 100..

[TrashMan]

Well, I'll try both things

[TrashMan]

Yup...it was the AI table... That fixes that...

However, the FRED charsh is still tehre..Damn those arrival cues!

[karajorma]

What happens when you try it with just one wing in the mission?

[TrashMan]

It chrashes (actually it tries to debug with VS 2005 and then chrashes) as soon as I click on Arival Cues...on any ship or any wing.
