Wanderer:

in the data\interface directory there are a pair of files it looks like you'd need to modify to get your new key in there.

Keymap.ini - attaches ids name and info and then the states the key has.
Keylist.ini - says the key exists.

this help out at all?

"It's easier said than done."

... and if you don't believe it, try proving that it's easier done than
said, and you'll see that "it's easier said that `it's easier done than
said' than it is done", which really proves that "it's easier said than
done".

Wandered, would you be kind and give me some hints how to create a mobile battleship that a player can fly an other players can dock in?
I'd be most grateful.

Vendetta, yes it does help but now it seems that the key listings use different commands rather than scripting. I think i can make missions where you cloak automatically but for user controlled decloaking, that will take a while more.

As for dockable battleships, i am waiting for the feedback about it to tweak it and make it workable.

how did this turn into another cloaking thread?


The infinite reaches of space are my home. And you'r trespassing.

Probably because i mentioned it and cloaking is one of THE best secrets yet to be uncovered by all the talent gathered here. Oh well i'll post what i've learned so far.
In the Keylist.ini put this:
[key
id = USER_CLOAK
Then place this line in the keymap.ini
[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_CLOAK
ids_name = 3007
ids_info = 2207
state = keydown
key = "["
And this one at the bottom of it
key = USER_CLOAK
but just above key = USER_CLOAK_TRUE
Ive tried using that one but the game doesn't seem to recognise it. Lastly place this in your userkeymap.ini in the saves area.
[KeyCmd
nickname = USER_CLOAK
key = 219
This will make the cloak toggle available when you configure your controls in the options but the function is missing somewhere. I've found references to cloakarch in the exe but cannot find a file called that anywhere. Hidden perhaps?
