Hi I'm new here and I have a question
Hello there! I read in the wiki that there was a command that allowed something called Smart Shields. I looked at the checkboxes in the FreeSpace 2 SCP launcher, but it isn't there.

Also, I looked at the control binds in the options screen, and found out that you can glide in this game. Problem is, it doesn't seem to work when I activate it. Any solutions?



Edit:  Also, Truespace isn't necessary for modeling, and neither is purchasing the full version.  3.2 is available freely and still capable of making models.  There's also Blender, 3ds Max, Wings3d, Sketchup, Solid Modeling applications, etc...


but you most buy everything for modelling full version

I think it's now active by default.

Most ships don't glide. If a ship doesn't have glide enabled, it won't do anything when you hit the glide button.

Can I?  Can I? 

...too late.  OPEN FIRE!



Welcome to Hard Light Productions.  There is no way out. 

Keep your arms and legs inside the station at all times.  If, while cavorting through the air vents, you encounter a Shivan, do not panic: this is Carl.  Give him your lunch and back away slowly.  If you are not carrying a lunch, attempt to recite your last will and testament loudly enough that audio pickups may record it. 

There are flamethrowers and plasma rifles, but the flamers are filled with holy water and the plasma rifles are locked and can only be accessed by moderators, Volition, or ultrasentient light at a wavelength of 450 nanometers. 

IF YOU SPEAK THE WORDS EFF ESS THREE YOU WILL PERISH. 

In the event of a catastrophic hull breach, attempt to evacuate the system via the jump node to Game Warden. 

Yep.  That's about the shape of things. 

 
Re: Hi I'm new here and I have a question
Thank you for the quick replies. And I will take note of the things you said General Battuta   :)

And by the way, I can't thank you enough for the hard work you guys have put into this project!

Use this instead.

That's absolutely false.  No new feature is on by default.  If it is, it's a bug.

Apologies. I was wrong.

Re: Hi I'm new here and I have a question
You can enable gliding for ships by placing a file in your Freespace2/data/tables directory with the name "glide-shp.tbm" (Everything before the "-" can be whatever you like, I just say glide for the sake of giving a relevant example name)

Then inside that file, copy the following:
Code: [Select]
#Ship Classes

;;Repeat the next 3 lines for each ship you want
;;to enable gliding on
$Name: GTF Myrmidon
+nocreate
$Glide: YES

#End

Like the comment says, you can copy-paste the middle three lines and change the name to enable gliding for any ship you like. Just make sure you get the name right, or it won't do anything.
