binary is only right->left on mac's (and a few other less common machines)

_but_ in technical writing,etc it's ALWAYS left->right - like every other number system in english reads

how about hex

00 01 00 00
00 02 00 00
00 04 00 00
00 08 00 00
00 10 00 00
00 20 00 00
00 40 00 00
00 80 00 00

:D

Hint: One Hex digit reperesents four bits - 1-9, A-F (0-15 decimal, 0000 to 1111 binary)

ugh.

anyway, is it possible, post 3.6, or 2 lines of code that won't be called breaking the code freeze?

Kazan, add a test so that you have to have cheats enabled for this to work.  It's kind of a cheat anyway, plus the fact that I tend to mash the "slow down" buttons repeatedly without counting how many times it's necessary and I wouldn't want to have to check that I'd gotten it square on the 1x.

you know, build in movie recording has been requested a lot of times. a lot. it won't happen without major code changing.

Besides as Kasperl suspected this could be done in a couple of lines of code.

what is the point in cheatmoding TC < 1 - it doesn't give you an advantage in combat

It does, though.  It gives you time to think and aim.  And this way is better because you have to deliberately slow it down past 1x speed, whereas before you could go below 1x accidentally.

it doesn't help your aim, because your ability to move your ship slows proportionately and your controls become no less sensative

trust me i tried

I tried it too.  I figured out how to take advantage of it after I had messed around with it a bit.

now, can this be implemented? i will even settle for using special builds, command lines, or cheats, or even editing text files/register files  or using wierd key bindings, but this would be a gigantic boon to in-game cutscene recording.

It's been implemented and it's in CVS.  It'll be in the next released build.  Use cheat mode to activate it.
