Ok I know the first thing that comes to mind is WCS already has something that
sounds right there with the topic title, but what I need is a bit more complicated.
Ok basics first:
This is for FringeSpace.
Currently Backslash's code multiplies "both" the distance and speed values displayed on the HUD.
As seen in hud_gauges.tbl
$Length Unit Multiplier: 0.01 ;;converts displayed distance measurements via multiplier
What I need, is to split this feature so I can apply a different modifier value to speed, and a different modifier to
distance. In other words, distance may be multiplied by 0.01 and come up with 20 units, but I need to be able to define
my speed differently so say 0 to 1700 displayed units of propulsion.
Additionally, is the distance gauge on the HUD capable of displaying a value out to a hundredth? Ex. 5.25
With the modifier I've got, it's correct scale wise, but it's not accurate to what Tachyon's HUD would display...
so I need the extra two places.
I've already talked to Bax a bit on this, but I know he's bogged down, and a great deal has changed over the last year.
So I'm looking to see if anyone either knows how it can already be done, or if it's possible to put in the pipeline for later?
