Fireorders gone!?

Post by TradeMark »

I cant set my buzzaw or vulcan to hold fire anymore, this is cause of new spring version.

Try adding CanFireControl=1; to the fbi file. I swear this used to be default for all units that canattack=1;.

Nice, now i can control the fire.

Another problem came up: they are always "fire at will", even when standingfireorder=0

Any ideas how to fix this?

That tag is OTA and deprecated. Use the recently fixed firestate=x; with x being from 0 to 2, representing holdfire to faw respectively!

thank you.

where is the list of all working tags and the tags which have been changed to watsoever?

--

IMO its fucking stupid to change tag names when (almost) every mod uses them already. zero gain, only negative effects by changing tags... these tags could have been leaved as alternative tags, no need to be removed totally.

Imagine if suddenly all HTML tags were changed to "better" ones, every fucking page needs to be recreated.

We're not w3c, cope with that ;p changes in the name of sanity make more sense in the long term, otherwise you end with Windows-like compatibility hell.

I agree that a warning should be printed instead of outright ignoring stuff though.

Also imba, how is the default for canfirecontrol being assigned? Seems very inconsistent currently.
