3 If there is a file in the netrek directory called conf.sysdef, the
|
|
|
4 daemon will look in it for various configuration options. If the file
|
|
|
5 is changed in the middle of the game, the daemon will eventually
|
|
|
6 notice and reread the values from the file into the shared memory
|
|
|
7 segment. Note that some of the options will not affect players
|
|
|
8 immediately (PLKILLS=, SHIP=)

|
|
51
|
|
|
52 %s %s %?
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 The first string is currently ignored, but should be the 2-character
|
|
|
55 abbreviation for the ship. The second string is the value name. The
|
|
|
56 third string is the new value. Each value name can expect a different
|

120 NEWTURN=%d
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 A non-zero value enables new turn code. This is rarely enabled.
|
|
|
123 With newturn on, turning radii are linearly dependent upon speed.
|
|
|
124 With newturn disabled, turning radii are somewhat exponential with

|
|
|
143 McGrath's Bronco emulator. 5 is Mike McGrath's small galaxy
|
|
|
144 generator. 6 is a hack on generator 3 to give 2 systems to each race.
|
|
|
145 Anything else is interpreted as 1.

148
|
|
|
149 Sets the number of nebulous cloud "seeds" to be placed in the galaxy.
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
154
|
|

|
193
|
|
|
194 A value of 0 is the Paradise II 1/15 Hz planet sweep pop choice
|
|
|
195 algorithm. A value of 0 is Bob Forsman's 10Hz progressive empire scan
|
|

|
|
204
|
|
|

211
|
|
|
212 BRONCOSHIPVALS=%hhd
|
|
|
213
|
|
|
214 If non-zero then the next time the daemon initializes the ship
|
|
|
215 values, they will get bronco values. You must follow this directive
|
|
|
216 with a line that says "RELOAD_SHIPDEFAULTS=".
|
|
|
217
|
|
|
218 EVACUATION=%hhd
|
|
|
219
|

|
|
240 NEWARMYGROWTH=%hhd
|
|

242 If NEWARMYGROWTH=0 and POPCHOICE=0 then Bronco-like army growth is
|
|
|
243 enabled.
|
|
|
244
|
|
|
245 WARPDECEL=%hhd
|
|
|
246
|
|
|
247 A zero value means that ships instantly decelerate from maxwarp to
|
|
|
248 maximpulse when the user chooses an impulse speed. Otherwise, a
|
|
|
249 deceleration is required, during which weapons are still inoperative.
|
|
|
250 Afterburners can be used to decelerate more quickly, but watch your
|
|
|
251 etem.
|
|
|
252
|
|
|
253 AFFECTSHIPTIMERSOUTSIDET=%hhd
|
|
|
254
|
|
|
255 If this setting is non-zero then ship timers will be affected by the
|
|
|
256 destruction of a ship even outside of tournament mode. The default
|
|
|
257 value is 0 for league play.
|
|
|
258
|
|
|
259 DURABLESCOUTING=%hhd
|
|
|
260
|
|
|
261 If this setting is non-zero then a scouted planet is up-to-date
|
|
|
262 until taken from you by the enemy (bronco emulation). Zero is
|
|
|
263 paradise style.

|
|
|
265 FACILITYGROWTH=%hhd
|
|
|

|
|
|
283
|
|
|
284 If 0 then tractors (and pressors) do not affect warp preparation.
|
|
|
285 If 1 then they will cause an abort if the ship is being tractored at
|
|
|
286 the end of warp prep. If 2 then the ship will be unable to enter warp
|
|
|
287 until the tractors are disengaged. If 3 then a tractor will abort
|
|
|
288 warp prep at ANY time. If 4 then a tractor beam suspends the
|
|
|
289 preparation countdown.
