Modular IFF Tables?
on: May 18, 2009, 09:56:37 am
I thought I remembered this feature being implemented, but the wiki seems to say otherwise.

Does it exist in trunk?

Does it exist in someone's branch?

If it doesn't exist and I wanted to write it, is there any big risk of breaking stuff (like player files)?

No, this feature doesn't exist.  Iff_defs doesn't lend itself well to being modular, since most of the IFFs reference other IFFs.

Hm... true that.

I was thinking I might put certain 'special' ships from the RTS mod on their own team (particularly because I was sick of having the stupid AI try to attack my console). But now that I think about it, sexp-given orders override IFF, don't they?

Not always. But why don't you just override the existing AI table with one of your own?
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
