Title: FS2 "$Flags"
Post by: NFSRacer on January 27, 2013, 03:31:41 pm

I've got to ask, as I'm looking to mod my FS2 with a TBM file that could make the game more enjoyable.  Does anyone know the different possible flags for the Ships.tbl file?...Somehow this question sounded better in my head...

Is that all there is?  Just those three?

Probably confusing formatting. Everything from there all the way down to Player Ship Precedence is a flag. :P

"A table file that could make the game more enjoyable" is not a good definition for whatever it is you want to do. We have basically no idea what you might find more enjoyable, and thus cannot really help you.

I mean, ship flags are one tiny area of things that can be used to alter the gameplay; there are many many other settings, dials and knobs one can tweak to create fun.

Eh...I knew it sounded better in my head.  What I'm wanting to do is view a list or something along those lines of different flags that can be applied for each ship class and what they do (like the "show ship" tag can be used to view within the cockpits of certain fighters).  I'd like to see if I can mod my copy of FSO.

Well that list on the wiki is pretty comprehensive.

Hmm...Well, I guess I could try to experiment then...
