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
