Collecting relevant movedef tags.

[smoth]

lurker did a grab of the movedef hash

size, followground, submarine, land/water/mixed, maxslope, slopemod, depth, depthmod, crushstrength footprint.

I know of the following:

footprintx
footprintz

slopemod
depthmod

maxwaterDepth
maxslope

What else am I missing? Do we still have to have "HOVER" in the movedef name for something to be hover?

[smoth]

should note that I was one of the ones on this: http://springrts.com/wiki/Units:MoveTypes

but I want to get an update on the data. and to see if any new stuff was added(after all we have heatmaps and shit right?)

The only tags recognized (grabbed from master/22713959e6fa8f9afa77dc60afe24b291b5750e4) are:

Code: Select all

name
crushStrength
minWaterDepth
maxWaterDepth
subMarine
maxSlope
depthMod
slopeMod
heatMapping
heatMod
heatProduced
footprintX
footprintZ

Do we still have to have "HOVER" in the movedef name for something to be hover?

yes

[FLOZi]

Also KBOT, BOAT/SHIP, TANK, HOVER in the movedef name correspond to typemaps influence over movedefs.

[smoth]

is footprintZ still ignored?

[FLOZi]

is footprintZ still ignored?

https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/m ... o.cpp#L172

Code: Select all

const int xsize = moveTable.GetInt("footprintX",     1);
const int zsize = moveTable.GetInt("footprintZ", xsize);

Not ignored, just defaults to footprintX, and having non-square footprints is a bad idea anyway.

[smoth]

What is the assumed value should say a maxSlope not be set?

[FLOZi]

Is the code really so hard to follow?

For Hovers maxslope defaults to 15, boats ignore it, everything else defaults to 60.

[smoth]

I don't know if it gets set elsewhere to anything else.

[FLOZi]

well, in the unitdef:

Code: Select all

maxSlope = Clamp(udTable.GetFloat("maxSlope", 0.0f), 0.0f, 89.0f);

But unitdef MaxSlope (and other tags corresponding to movedef tags) really ought to only be applied to buildings anyway. (Though currently at least some are not (so I am informed by empirical testing by Godde) and yeah, I'm not entirely sure how the two interact)

[smoth]

yeah that is the other issue that the move tag stuff is shared with unit construction. I started this thread: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=24810 to try and get some info and feedback from other content devs but no luck yet.
