OMG 0.72b - "dont land tag" buggish - doenst work

[Optimus Prime]

Since the new version, all the ships in FF land on ground like it was before the dontland tag (the ships all have the dontland=1 tag).
Can i fix it manually, or have i to wait till the next version in 2 months or so I hope not!

Zaphod changed things around, now there's a "hoverbehaviour" or somesuch tag. Ask him for details. Better yet, ask him to post details, since I'm clueless as well.

any developer can help?

I don't know any details but a quick glance at the code showed me this:

Tag: UNITINFO\airhoverfactor

Code: Select all

	float dlHoverFactor; // < 0 means it can land, >= 0 indicates how much the unit will move during hovering on the spot
	bool DontLand () { return dlHoverFactor >= 0.0f; }

and dlHoverFactor in code is read from UNITINFO\airhoverfactor tag. So set it airhoverfactor to some positive value. I don't know what kind of influence the size of the value you give it has / whether that's already been implemented.

[Optimus Prime]

thank you, but it doesnt work. I still have the dontland=0 tag and tried with the dlHoverFactor=1 (also other values like 100 tested). I included it in the unit.fbi and the movedata but i dont have a unitinfo folder.
Seems that we have to wait for betalord or the one who changed it.

the tag is called airhoverfactor (UNITINFO\airhoverfactor), reread my post carefully

oh sorry my fault. Wow it seems to do something :D My ship hovered in a big circle but didnt land. I ll test more thank you!

Ok it works with an airhoverfactor of 0. This also fixes the driftingproblem but increasing the value above 0 produces the driftingproblem again and ships seem to circle in a radius which becomes bigger by time (needs some time to see the effect).

Before it's too late, someone add this info to the changelog please!

The SVN changelog doesn't have any of that... is there some other changelog I'm not aware of?

[KDR_11k]

It's not in the changelog because it's not a new change AFAIK. The commander planes in Gundam use airhoverfactor=0.
