Configuration variables

FIXME <Variables> + <colors> FIXME Syntax of the variables and where to put them.

"Physics" section

• collision_inertial_time [float] - FIXME
  • 1.25 (default)
• game_speed [float]- Changed by setup program, depends on difficulty setting.
  • 1 (default)
• game_speed_lying [boolean] - FIXME
  • true
  • false (default)

"graphics" section

• head_lag [integer] - Head lag (in frames). When you turn, the cockpit is displayed as if you were overcomming the intertia of the turn. This value determines how much this 'overcomming' is in frames. Practically it affects how much the cockpit is shifted on-screen.
  • 10 (default)
• pan_on_auto [boolean] - Sets if there should be an camera switch + flyby on autopilot activation. FIXME No longer used?
  • true (default)
  • false
• shake_speed [float] - FIXME
  • 50 (default)
• shake_reduction [float] - Cockpit shake reduction amount.
  • 8 (default)
• shove_camera_down [float] - FIXME
  • .3 (default)
• shield_texture [string/file] - Shield effect texture, expected to be in the textures directory. It is alpha blended, so blackness = transparency in-game.
  • shield.bmp (default)
• reflectivity [float] - FIXME What does the next line mean?
  • .2 (default): (0.0-1.0) default reflection level (1.0 = very shiny).
• star_shine [string/file] - List of .ani files for a sun's flare effect separated by single spaces.
  • shine.ani (default)

• radarType
  • WC (default) - Display two radars in the bottom screen. The left one is the front radar, the right one is the rear radar.
  • Elite - Display only one radar. Units are displayed with a dot and a vertical line. Units are projected on a horizontal plane (from your ship view). The dot is the position of the unit on that plane, and the height of the line is the height of the unit above/below that plane. Does not seem to work (on 3rd March 2004).
• min_target_box_size
  • .01 (default) - Minimum target box size.
• DrawTargettingBoxes
  • true (default) - Enable box display. Allow drawAllTargetBoxes, drawLineToTarget, drawLineToTargetsTarget, drawAlwaysITTS .
  • false - Does not display any target box or docking box.
• drawAllTargetBoxes
  • true - Display every units in boxes (not planets, jumps).
  • false (default) - Does not display units in boxes except the selected one.
• drawLineToTarget
  • true - Draw a line between your ship and the selected target. Allow drawLineToTargetsTarget. Does not seem to work (on 4rd March 2004).
  • false - Disable the line.
• drawLineToTargetsTarget
  • true - Disable the line.
  • false - Draw a line between your target and the target of your target. Does not seem to work (on 4th March 2004).
• drawLineToITTS
  • true - Draw ITTS line.
  • false (default) - FIXME
• drawAlwaysITTS
  • true - Force ITTS drawing.
  • false (default) - FIXME
• DrawTheirRelationColor - Determines the box color of the selected target.
  • true (default) - The box color corresponds to the target relation towards you.
  • false - The box color corresponds to your relation towars the target.
• drawNavSymbol - Does not seem to work (on 7th March 2004). FIXME
  • true - FIXME
  • false (default) - FIXME

"joystick" section

• mouse_cursor - This parameter is set to true when [Mouse glide] control is selected in setup.
  • true - In-flight control using [Mouse glide]. When enabled, warp_mouse must be set to false.
  • false (default) - Set when no mouse support is required or when warp_mouse is set to true.
• mouse_crosshair - Mouse cursor appearance when [Mouse glide] is selected (when mouse_cursor is true).
• crosshairs.spr (default) - If mouse_cursor is true, this file contains the image to be used as cursor. This file must be located in the ./sprites directory. See the .spr file format HowTo:Edit HUDs.
• warp_mouse This parameter is set to true when [Mouse warp] control is selected in setup.
  • true - In-flight control using [Mouse warp]. When enabled, mouse_cursor must be set to false.
  • false - Set when no mouse support is required or when mouse_cursor is set to true.
  • Note: if no in-flight mouse control is needed, both mouse_cursor and warp_mouse must be set to false.
• reverse_mouse_spr Used when [Mouse glide] control is selected in setup (see mouse_cursor).
  • true (default) - Invert vertical mouse axis.
  • false - Does not invert vertical mouse axis.
• draw_rendered_crosshairs
  • true (default) - Draw basic crosshairs using lines whatever the cockpit type is.
  • false - Use a sprite to draw the hud crosshairs. See cockpit file format HowTo:Edit HUDs. Each cockpit type might have its own crosshairs.
• draw_vdus_from_chase_cam
  • true - Display the hud when chase view is active.
  • false (default) - does not display the hud when chase view is active.
• draw_vdus_from_panning_cam
  • true - Display the hud when panning view is active.
  • false (default) - Does not display the hud when panning view is active.
• draw_vdus_from_target_cam
  • true - Display the hud when target view is active.
  • false (default) - does not display the hud when target view is active.
