I think you have two options: modify the converter, treating an absent trim as a trim of 0; or modify mpa2wav to write that empty trim. The former is the better choice.

Edit DATA\MISSIONS\M01A\m01a.ini (install JFLP or use TINI to unpack it), find the second tm_releaseP1 (around line 1528), a couple lines down you'll see Cnd_Timer = 3, change that to 5 (or whatever). I think that's all you need, but if not, try changing the similar line a few lines back (below rh_cruiser_impact_cam).

It looks like when you use a bat (and presumably bot) the server sends FLPACKET_SERVER_USE_ITEM to every player, indicating how many were used. That probably updates the cargo list in the ship, so the information should be available. If I was to do it, it would be as an extension of Numeric Damage, adding the batteries after the shield and the nanobots after the hull. It's certainly an interesting idea, but I don't know when I would get around to it...

Looks like you're using Archetype = planet_earth_3000 with an atmosphere_range = 2800. Increase the atmosphere to 3200.

I don't know what's going on with your FLEC. I ran 1.013 and the only "problem" with mbases.ini was the missing SP story bases.

They're three 16-bit integers divided by 32767 to make three floats (have a look at channel.cpp in the XML Project source).

Doesn't look like it.


@Treewyrm: can you elaborate? I never noticed a "bone" entry when doing the XML converter.

That's strange, as that's where it reads a character.

I modified a save, adding prop_shades_01 and prop_hat_male_pirate_A. Alt+F4 on Manhattan worked fine (both Yes and No).
