Title: Auto Shield Focus
Post by: ChronoReverse on January 22, 2010, 09:24:57 pm
Made this because Fury's AI gives the computer some advantages that I'd like to have too =)

KEYS
0 - toggles the entire thing
q - unfocuses all quadrants
arrow keys - toggle which quadrant to focus

[edit]Made it use q now.[/edit]
[edit2]Updated with The_E's graphic[/edit2]
[edit3]Fixed some bugs that popped up when making it disappear with the HUD[/edit3]

Huh? What's it do?

Automatically focuses selected shield quadrants (you can toggle each quadrant individually).  For example, if you set it to focus the forward shield, then as you take hits from the front, that shield remains at full power as long as there's energy to draw from the other three quadrants.  If all quadrants are turned off or on, then it'll simply auto-equalize.

This is all about the X-Wing series. :yes:

I can see the SWC team utilising this.

OR PM me and I'll give it permanent hosting and link it here.

Or even better, paste the **** thing into the Wiki. Please.

The Link is broken, can anyone repost please? The link is broken on the wiki too; Blue Planet is not in that website anymore

Anyone recall the original filename?  If so I can search my drives.

Presumably this link (http://blueplanet.fsmods.net/E/shields.7z) from this page (https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Script_-_Shield_Management).

Supposedly that's the interface, although perhaps it also contains the rest?  Regardless, the link is now dead.  (Also, I did search for shields.7z and it is apparently not on my machine any more, or it's buried somewhere that's no longer included in the default search locations... briefly rustling around turned up nothing.)

that link got killed when fsmods went down; unfortunately I do not have an archive of the BP FTP so the interface files are likely lost - that said, in order to remove that dependency, all that's needed is to remove the lines from shields_onInit.lua that load the interface graphics and turn the drawShieldQuadrants function into a noop

I found an old copy, I tried to use them and they don't work on regular FS2, can anyone make them work; I remember they used to work well and they were very helpful. I'd do it myself if knew how.
