when I get a version of PCS with an editor I am going to make quite a few additions to this, Kaz put the source up on a CVS somewere, but I still don't have half a clue on how to use CVS, and from what I've seen I might have a bit more of a diucult time makeing changes to it, don't supose one of you guys would like to take a crack at this, I would also like some discusion on what should be added to this, so when a new version of the data type is made it will have all the data we will need for all future versions of the code

Kazan's stuff is in CVS at SourceForge.  I could take look at adding the GLOW tags, I am assuming they are identical in behavior to FUEL tags, so it should just be some cut & paste...  If I have time and can get it to work, I'll petition Kazan for CVS commit access to his project (I have a SF membership already), or I'll send him patches.

BTW what happens if you run a GLOW-enabled model on plain vanilla FS2.exe?  Does it silently ignore unknown tags?

*checks source*

Yeah, it bleats out a warning via mprintf (which is a no-op in release builds) but ignores the "chunk"

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the power of collaborative programming with CVS. Bobboau conceived it, WM implemented it, penguin made a bugfix to it.

and Inquisitor p1mped it

And I found that one small bug when  I tried to compile it.

(FYI, it still compiles under PS2Linux, but under gdb I'm getting an undefined symbol problem when it's loading shared libraries.)

Hey guys: use glow points SPARINGLY. That Medusa looks like a freakin' Christmas tree.

Agreed, and some of those glows are f-ing huge, use smaller ones or this will grow old rather fast.  I would say that the glow on the bottom fin of the Herc is a bit too large too.

[Redfang]

Yeah, those are indeed too big and not used well. But I think that those are just tests... glow points would be really nice if used correctly.

[Bobboau]

well becase I have vertualy no way to see what I'm doing, and it takes about twenty minutes to convert it as this is set now (hex editing) I'm gona wait untill we have better editing of this before fixing that, I was just makeing a few tests, if you're gona make the new data editor I would also like
int on_time
int off_time
int time_disp
for each bank
