Title: Is there a command line switch for shockwave type?
Post by: Gregster2k on August 03, 2008, 09:20:17 am

Been modding my Media VPs to pull this off so far since the effect seems to be triggered by the presence of shockwave.pof. I'd like a way to just turn it off from the command line...

There is currently no flag to do that.  However, I think this would be a good idea and it would be pretty simple to implement.  Unfortunately, there is a code freeze going on right now, so it probably won't happen for a while :(

This should never happen.

It's a ****ing support nightmare on the same order as the -jpgtga flag. You'll get mods picking one or the other and then failing cause some yahoo came along and toggled the switch.

However it should be controllable by a table, if it isn't already.

Er, it's already toggled by the media that the mod includes, as well as the ships table data. Why does it need to be toggled by a table as well?

Well I just meant there does need to be a way to control it, and since it sounds like there is, it shouldn't need anything done.

I thought shockwaves could be controlled via the tables?

Surely if I change the tables the multiplayer will be broken because of table differences?

not broken, it just won't record stats.
