FBI Files - conversions

[Sorn]

Hey there,

I am doing some cleanup of the FF mod FBI files, and using the wiki, these ones are no longer used. If someone could confirm this for me so that I can remove the info, or include it if it is used.

Designation=AFD-J17;
Version=1;
BMcode=1;
ThreeD=1;
ZBuffer=1;
NoAutoFire=0;
Copyright=Copyright 1997 Humongous Entertainment. All rights reserved.;

GermanDescription=Schwerer Jäger;
firestandorders=1;
frenchdescription=Chasseur spatial d'attaque;
Italiandescription=Astrocaccia da attacco leggero;
StandingFireOrder=2;
mobilestandorders=1;
StandingMoveOrder=1;
SteeringMode=1;
ShootMe=1;
Scale=1;
BankScale=1;
DefaultMissionType=standby;
maneuverleashlength=640;

I noticed when I was testing that the unit that I removed this from

Code: Select all

	firestandorders=1;
	standingfireorder=2;
	mobilestandorders=1;
	standingmoveorder=1;

Would just fly away and not be controlled. These should get added to the FBI wiki, the ones that actually have an effect with a description?

Mmm, yeah, go ahead and add them. Things get overlooked, especially on a documenet that big.

I don't think you need the first 5 lines in that FBI you pasted here, you don't need Copyright=, I'm fairly sure unitnumber is useless in Spring, and the German/French/Italian stuff isn't supported. I don't think Scale is either.

It turns out it was something else, so forget I posted this stuff. I talked to SJ about it.

Turns out, I tested the wrong mod (my fault, mis-clicked) and the problem still existed.

The actual problem was

Code: Select all

	ExtractsMetal=0.003;

Which caused the unit to fly to the upper left corner. This is odd, because MakesMetal=0; and MetalMake=0;. Going to post this in bugs....

I would suggest that you just put a REAL Copywrite in the copywrite spot, something like, "This is open source, check blah for GNU licence" something like that... even though it is deffinitely not read by spring anyways
