command line request
on: July 16, 2007, 06:39:48 pm
can I have a -noshowmaxspd command line? I want it to no longer indicate your ship's max speed or the ship's percentage of max speed. it is for 2 very important mods I am working on, thanks.

EDIT: all I need is to get rid of everything that indicates the player's ship's max speed OR that compares that to any other speed.

if there is any other way of doing it, I don't know how. I NEED this, and many people will like this mod. I can't say what it is, but, trust me, it's good :nod:.

EDIT: I just realised something, I also need to be able to set the speed of your ship when the game starts (IE when you start a mission your moving at some-pecentage of your max speed, I can't have that) and when a ship warps out.
and just make the command line -TGP (TopGun Physics)

are you doing a full newtonian mod?

Is this a bug?

If the answer is yes, I think you should mantis it.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

Then tough ****. :p No coder is likely to bother adding a feature just because you can't be bothered to use a feature which is already there and does the same thing.

If initial velocity doesn't work then it needs to be fixed.

the initial velocity does not work on your ship.

EDIT: nevermind, I got Newtonian to work just fine. I still need that command line though (name it whatever you want).

PS can you have negative damp factors?

EDIT2: you know how in the ship select room it tells you the ship's max speed, I want that to go away via ship flag.

That's definitely a bug, then.

Two things:
1. I may do this, along with a couple of other things to facilitate Newtonian mods.
2. Have you checked out the changes Backslash made to Glide in HEAD? The changes make Glide into a Newtonian Physics mode, as far as I can tell. It's worth checking out.
