I have a bunch of old defs that I need to update. Odds are it is a quick find and replace but I cannot find a reference to what is what.
the wiki wrote:Rendertype depreciated
Used for auto detection of ota weapontypes.

Throw this in weapondefs_post
Code: Select all
local function BackwardCompability(wdName,wd)
-- auto detect ota weapontypes
if (wd.weapontype==nil) then
local rendertype = tonumber(wd.rendertype) or 0
if (tobool(wd.dropped)) then
wd.weapontype = "AircraftBomb";
elseif (tobool(wd.vlaunch)) then
wd.weapontype = "StarburstLauncher";
elseif (tobool(wd.beamlaser)) then
wd.weapontype = "BeamLaser";
elseif (tobool(wd.isshield)) then
wd.weapontype = "Shield";
elseif (tobool(wd.waterweapon)) then
wd.weapontype = "TorpedoLauncher";
elseif (wdName:lower():find("disintegrator",1,true)) then
wd.weaponType = "DGun"
elseif (tobool(wd.lineofsight)) then
if (rendertype==7) then
wd.weapontype = "LightningCannon";
elseif (wd.model and wd.model:lower():find("laser",1,true)) then
wd.weapontype = "LaserCannon";
elseif (tobool(wd.beamweapon)) then
wd.weapontype = "LaserCannon";
elseif (tobool(wd.smoketrail)) then
wd.weapontype = "MissileLauncher";
elseif (rendertype==4 and tonumber(wd.color)==2) then
wd.weapontype = "EmgCannon";
elseif (rendertype==5) then
wd.weapontype = "Flame";
--elseif(rendertype==1) then
-- wd.weapontype = "MissileLauncher";
else
wd.weapontype = "Cannon";
end
else
wd.weapontype = "Cannon";
end
end
end
local function ProcessWeaponDef(wdName, wd)
-- backward compability
BackwardCompability(wdName,wd)
end
for wdName, wd in pairs(WeaponDefs) do
if (isstring(wdName) and istable(wd)) then
ProcessWeaponDef(wdName, wd)
end
end

You can use something like dngrep (
https://github.com/dnGrep/dnGrep/releases) to grep for the rendertypes and replace them with weaponType = blah. Probably the least painful way to go about it.

a few others are coming up:
- lineofsight
- selfprop
- shakeduration
- shakemagnitude
- color
- dropped
- beamweapon
- beamlaser
- ballistic
- guidance???
- smokedelay
going by dropped, guidance, lineofsight, selfprop, we have new weapon classes?
"search the wiki," funny, the wiki search is not pulling results for all of these. IMO this thread has a reason to live so that OTHERS who run into this can get answers. Inbefore a certain troll posts in this thread.
Guidance depreciated
(does nothing)
Should this be "use tracks tag instead? or something similar?
*edits*
hmm, seems like we had guidance and tracks? dunno.
Why is it:
the wiki wrote:Tracks If the missile tracks a moving target. Can be set to 1 or 0. tracks=1;
Why not "true" or "false" like the rest of the tags?
"shakeduration"
"shakemagnitude"
// lol taisms in my old defs
"smokedelay"
"startsmoke"
// these were
useful, why are they gone now?

Which wiki page are you referring to?

Make sure you're looking at the gamedev:weapondefs page on the wiki.

I would make the changes myself but I am not sure if they are a good idea, so I want to ask before I go and edit stuff.

spring should no longer say it runs ota content. This puts many of the *A projects further into "derivative content" based on items take from the Ta .hpi.

Sorry, smoth, but unlike anime or movie franchises and active game franchises. Game IP can die and be burried. Not even archology can undig TA by now.

doesn't mean we should NOT try and do better

But we dont want to do better.
The suggested per Piece auto-Texturing, a newb tool nobody was interested in.
We supply good enough tools to those who where lucky enough to get into spring, when it was still amateurish and easy to get into.
A newb joining today is shit out of look.
And you and me we are part of the problem, walling them with endless tutorials, where all they want is instant success noodles.
Back before ssmf, the mapconverter, with bitmaps.. that was easy access.
And nobody lifts a finger for the allmende. Because, thats not directly measurable a benefit for my game.
Wanting something is worthless, if no effort goes towards it.
