The '''ships.tbl''' defines all the ship classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-shp.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''<br />
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''<br />
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''<br />
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}<br />
<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''<br />
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game<br />
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.<br />
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''<br />
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)<br />
<br />
==Default Player Ship==<br />
*Defines the default ship in the game.<br />
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Engine Wash==<br />
*Defines the engines washes<br />
*First entry must be named 'default'<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Defines the name of the engine wash.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Angle:===<br />
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Radius Mult:===<br />
*Defines engine wash multiplier<br />

==Ship Template Options==<br />
{{Warning|<br />
The ship templates feature has always caused crashes and memory issues. As of 2014/07/24, it has been removed from the codebase.}}<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Example of template usage [[Ship_Templates]] in which both [[GTB Artemis]] variants have been defined using a single template}}<br />
<br />
<br />

*Syntax: '''''String''''', name}}<br />
<br />
==Ships Table Options==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry.<br>There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''<br />
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name and cannot be the first character in the $Name: string. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game.<br>An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.<br />
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason.<br>In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Detail Distance:===<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values. These multipliers default to (from left to right): 1/8, 1/4, 1, 4, and 8, and may be overridden by the [[Ai_profiles.tbl#$Detail Distance Multiplier:|$Detail Distance Multiplier]]<br />
*Syntax: '''''(Detail Distances)''''' , list of '''integers''' (same amount as LODs), distances from the model in meters<br />
**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Collision LOD:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines an alternative LOD (Level-Of-Detail) to use for collision detection. Using this can increase performance without visible drawbacks if the LOD chosen has much simpler geometry but the shape still closely matches the base model.<br />
*This works as follows: collision detection proceeds normally through the various model/submodel radius and bounding box checks based on LOD0, but when the game decides to perform a mesh-based collision check of a given submodel, it will use the submodel's LOD mesh instead. However, all submodels do not need to have a counterpart in the given LOD; if one is not found, the closest alternative will automatically be used instead.<br />
*For example, if ''$Collision LOD: 3'' is used and the submodel engine01a is checked for a hit, the game will attempt to use the mesh of engine01d instead. However, if there is no engine01d submodel, the game will find the closest alternative: it'll look for engine01c, then engine01b, and finally fall back to engine01a. Note the implications of for example the root LOD submodel (detaild, detail3, etc) including the geometry of subsystem submodels; if detail0 is checked for a collision before engine01a, and detail3 includes the engine geometry (as opposed to having it in engine01d), then the subsystem engine01a cannot be hit.<br />
**Syntax: '''''Integer'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$ND:===<br />
NOTE: this option has done nothing since before 2008<br />
<br />
*No Dim field field was used in FreeSpace for ship lights. Use of glowmaps is preferred to the $ND entry. Only noticeable in Glide or Software mode.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, value from 0 to 255<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Density:===<br />
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1. Must not be 0.<br />
<br />
===$Damp:===<br />
*Sets the natural period (1 / omega) of the dampening effects on top of the acceleration model. (See [[Ships.tbl#$Forward Accel:|$Forward Accel:]])<br />
*In essence, affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slower acceleration and deceleration, while lower values (down to 0.0001) means faster acceleration/deceleration.<br />
**Specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping placed on top of the acceleration model, which is the most responsiveness you'll get.<br />
<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
<br />
===$Rotdamp:===<br />
*Shares the same principles of [[Ships.tbl#$Damp:|$Damp]], but is applied to rotations directly. (there isn't a engine/thrust acceleration model for rotations)<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
<br />
===$Banking Constant:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines a factor for how much roll is added during a yaw. Set as 1 for full roll and 0 is no roll. Default is 0.5.<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Max Velocity:===<br />
*Defines maximum velocities with standard energy settings on x (left/right), y (up/down), and z (forward) -axis (respectively). z -axis velocity defines the maximum forward velocity.<br />
*The x and y velocities are considered slide veocities<br />

**Example: ''0.0, 0.0, 80.0''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Player Minimum Velocity:===<br />
{{Table38|<br />
*Defines minimum velocities on x (left/right), y (up/down), and z (forward) -axis (respectively). This affects the player only, the AI ignores the value. <br />
*The x and y velocities are considered slide velocities, the minimums for them are '''not currently implemented'''.<br />
*When gliding, if the absolute speed vector of the players ship falls below the minimum then the ships engines will re-engage and cannot be switched off again until the ships absolute vector exceeds the z-minimum.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively, meters per second<br />
**Example: ''0.0, 0.0, 40.0''<br />

*Defines rotation times around the x, y, and z-axis. Number is seconds it takes to complete rotate a ship (360 degrees) around the given axis. X-axis is "pitch," y-axis is "yaw," and z-axis is "roll."<br />
*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', seconds per 360 degree turn around x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively<br />
**Example: ''3.0, 2.6, 5.0''<br />
**Note: Setting to Zero will cause the model to disappear in mission.<br />
<br />
===$Rear Velocity:===<br />
*Defines rear velocity<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters per second<br />
**Note: This value must be set for [[Ships.tbl#.2BAburn_Max_Reverse_Vel:|+Aburn_Max_Reverse_Vel:]] to work<br />

The '''weapons.tbl''' defines all of the weapon classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-wep.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
The weapons.tbl is responsible for defining the behavior of the numerous weapon effects used in FSO, including the amount of damage dealt, the firing rate, and graphical effects.<br />
<br />
This wiki page goes over all of the entries used exclusively in the weapons.tbl file. Hyperlinks to individual weapon creation/editing tutorials are provided when appropriate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Case Weapons==<br />
===Beam Cannons===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"beam"''' flag<br />
*'''[[weapons.tbl#$BeamInfo:|$BeamInfo:]]'''<br />
<br />
See also: [http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_-_Beam_Weapons Tutorial - Beam Weapons]<br />
<br />
<br />
===Flak Guns===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"flak"''' flag<br />
*'''"particle spew"''' flag<br />
*Must have inner and outer radius defined to have any effect.<br />
*A '''.pof''' model must be defined ( usually '''Hornet.pof''' )<br />
**Note: the model is not actually used... Instead, it uses [[Weapons.tbl#$Pspew:|particle spew]]. Trails may also be added.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*The weapons table consist of several sections<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>'''End''' before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Primary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''standard primaries weapons''' as well as '''beam cannons''' and '''flak cannons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Secondary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''secondary weapons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Beam Weapons'''<br />
***I haven't got any ideas for this one.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''[[Weapons.tbl#Countermeasures|Countermeasures]]'''<br />
***Defines the used countermeasure.<br />
**'''$Player Weapon Precedence'''<br />
***Player Weapon Precedence is used in weapon selection when a default specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next weapon on the list is used in its place (assuming that weapon is allowed for the player).<br />
<br />
==Core Table==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*This is the name of the weapon. If it's going to be used by the player, keep it under 12 characters so it doesn't spill over the HUD box.<br>Two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''. Their usage details are the very same than inside the [[Ships.tbl#.24Name:_2|$Name field from Ships.tbl]].<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Alt Name:===<br />
{{Table3611|<br />
*An alternative name that can be referenced instead of $Name:<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''}}<br />

<br />
===$Subtype:===<br />
{{Table3610| <br />
Specifies the weapon 's subtype. Overrides the default subtype as specified by the #-section it is in (#Primary, #Secondary, #Beam Weapon, etc.).<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Note|<br />
:Since the weapon subtype is already specified by the #-section it is in, this option is not particularly useful when the weapon is inside a #Primary or #Secondary section. However, it may be used to specify the weapon slot it uses on fighters/bombers for weapons that are normally capship only (such as beam cannons).}} <br />

===@Laser===<br />
In the event a 3D model is not defined for the weapon, FSO creates an object similar to a glowpoint. Essentially, it is a 2D plane that always faces the player's camera with an additive texture applied to it, and may or may not have an omnilight follow it.<br />
<br />
As suggested by its name, this option group is normally used for lasers and similar primaries, but it may also be used for other weapon types as well.<br />
<br />

</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Color2:====<br />
The RGB color of the glow effect at the end of the effect's lifetime (at its maximum range).<br />
<br />
*The color is applied both to the glowmap and the omnilight that follows the effect.<br />
*The actual color of the glow effect is somewhere in between the values defined by Color and Color2. Essentially, the actual color "fades" from Color to Color2 over its lifetime.<br />
**If Color is not defined, then a default value of 255, 255, 255 is assumed for its initial color.<br />
<br />

<div>{{TableVersionGit|2017-08-25|2039815}}<br />
<br />
The '''weapons.tbl''' defines all of the weapon classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-wep.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
The weapons.tbl is responsible for defining the behavior of the numerous weapon effects used in FSO, including the amount of damage dealt, the firing rate, and graphical effects.<br />
<br />
This wiki page goes over all of the entries used exclusively in the weapons.tbl file. Hyperlinks to individual weapon creation/editing tutorials are provided when appropriate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Case Weapons==<br />
===Beam Cannons===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"beam"''' flag<br />
*'''[[weapons.tbl#$BeamInfo:|$BeamInfo:]]'''<br />
<br />
See also: [http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_-_Beam_Weapons Tutorial - Beam Weapons]<br />
<br />
<br />
===Flak Guns===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"flak"''' flag<br />
*'''"particle spew"''' flag<br />
*Must have inner and outer radius defined to have any effect.<br />
*A '''.pof''' model must be defined ( usually '''Hornet.pof''' )<br />
**Note: the model is not actually used... Instead, it uses [[Weapons.tbl#$Pspew:|particle spew]]. Trails may also be added.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*The weapons table consist of several sections<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>'''End''' before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Primary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''standard primaries weapons''' as well as '''beam cannons''' and '''flak cannons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Secondary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''secondary weapons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Beam Weapons'''<br />
***I haven't got any ideas for this one.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''[[Weapons.tbl#Countermeasures|Countermeasures]]'''<br />
***Defines the used countermeasure.<br />
**'''$Player Weapon Precedence'''<br />
***Player Weapon Precedence is used in weapon selection when a default specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next weapon on the list is used in its place (assuming that weapon is allowed for the player).<br />
<br />
==Core Table==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*This is the name of the weapon. If it's going to be used by the player, keep it under 12 characters so it doesn't spill over the HUD box.<br>Two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''. Their usage details are the very same than inside the [[Ships.tbl#.24Name:_2|$Name field from Ships.tbl]].<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
====+nocreate====<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in Weapons.tbl or in earlier parsed *-wep.tbm files) by the time the *-wep.tbm is read.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Alt Name:===<br />
{{Table3611|<br />
*An alternative name that can be referenced instead of $Name:<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Subtype:===<br />
{{Table3610| <br />
Specifies the weapon 's subtype. Overrides the default subtype as specified by the #-section it is in (#Primary, #Secondary, #Beam Weapon, etc.).<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Note|<br />
:Since the weapon subtype is already specified by the #-section it is in, this option is not particularly useful when the weapon is inside a #Primary or #Secondary section. However, it may be used to specify the weapon slot it uses on fighters/bombers for weapons that are normally capship only (such as beam cannons).}} <br />

*Syntax: '''''String.pof''''', model filename}}<br />
<br />
====+Closeup_Pos:====<br />
{{Table3613|<br />

*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', x, y and z values respectively}}<br />
<br />
====+Closeup_Zoom:====<br />
{{Table3613|<br />
*How the model will show on the Loadout Screen. How far the camera's zoomed in, defines camera's FOV.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', radians}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Selection Effect:===<br />
{{Table3613|<br />
*Defines which selection effect to use when the -weapon_choice_3d commandline flag is enabled or no ani can be found for the selected weapon.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', either "FS1", or "Off". This defaults to the FS2 effect.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===$HUD Image:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the picture used to represent the weapon in HUD loadout list<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', filename}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Model File:===<br />
*Filename of the model file (.pof) at data/models folder. Additional fields beginning from '''''@Laser Bitmap:''''' and ending to '''''@Laser Tail Radius:''''' are not needed if a model has been defined for the weapon.<br />
*Standard primaries and beam cannons do not use specific models so for those the name is 'none'.<br />
*Flak weapons and secondaries use models, though the exact model is not important with the flak weapons.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String.pof''''' or ''none'', model filename<br />
**Example: ''none''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$POF target LOD:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the LOD (Level-Of-Detail) of the model used in HUD targeting view<br />
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''}}<br />
<br />
===$Detail Distance:===<br />
{{Table3613|<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values. These multipliers are (from left to right): 1/8, 1/4, 1, 4, 8<br />
*Optional. If not defined the game uses the formula ((radius * 20.0 + 20.0) * LOD)<br />
*Syntax: '''''(Detail Distances)''''' , list of '''integers''' (same amount as LODs), distances from the model in meters<br />
**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''}}<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Submodel Rotation Speed:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the rotation speed of the subobject, with the $gun_rotation property defined, in the external weapon model.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
*Note: weapon fire will be delayed by the time it takes for the weapon to spin up to this speed (using $Submodel Rotation Acceleration or its default value), regardless of whether an external model is used or not.<br />
}}<br />
{{Table38|<br />
*Note: It's no longer required that the ship actually have external models enabled (whether or not this weapon has one defined) for the spin up delay to occur.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===$Submodel Rotation Acceleration:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the rotation acceleration of the external weapon model.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
*Default value: 10}}<br />
<br />
===@Laser===<br />
In the event a 3D model is not defined for the weapon, FSO creates an object similar to a glowpoint. Essentially, it is a 2D plane that always faces the player's camera with an additive texture applied to it, and may or may not have an omnilight follow it.<br />
<br />
As suggested by its name, this option group is normally used for lasers and similar primaries, but it may also be used for other weapon types as well.<br />
<br />
Unless said otherwise, the graphic files used within this group may be of any compatible type (.DDS, .PCX, .TGA, etc.), however a .DDS is recommended.<br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Bitmap:====<br />
Defines the graphic file to be used as the weapon effect.<br />
<br />
Blending type: additive<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''String''''', filename<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Bitmap: my_laser_bitmap<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Glow:====<br />
Defines the graphic file to be used for the glowmap of the weapon effect.<br />
<br />
Blending type: additive<br />
<br />
*This file is 'multiplied' by a value between Color and Color2.<br />
*The physical dimensions of the glowmap in-game is 2x the size of the bitmap.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''String''''', filename<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Glow: my_laser_glowmap<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Color:====<br />
The RGB color of the glow effect.<br />
<br />
*The color is applied both to the glowmap and the omnilight that follows the effect.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, 8-bit value from 0 to 255<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Color: 255, 0, 0 ; Red glow effect at the start of the effect's lifetime<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Color2:====<br />
The RGB color of the glow effect at the end of the effect's lifetime (at its maximum range).<br />
<br />
*The color is applied both to the glowmap and the omnilight that follows the effect.<br />
*The actual color of the glow effect is somewhere in between the values defined by Color and Color2. Essentially, the actual color "fades" from Color to Color2 over its lifetime.<br />
**If Color is not defined, then a default value of 255, 255, 255 is assumed for its initial color.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, 8-bit value from 0 to 255<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Color2: 0, 0, 255 ; Blue glow effect at the end of the effect's lifetime.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Color: 255, 0, 0 ; Start with a Red glow effect, and fade into...<br />
@Laser Color2: 0, 0, 255 ; a Blue glow effect over the lifetime of the effect.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Length:====<br />
Defines the length of the weapon effect.<br />
*This option stretches the 2D plane "away" from its origin.<br />
Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Length: 1.0<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Head Radius:====<br />
Defines the width of the leading edge, or "head," of the weapon effect.<br />
*The edge of the 2D plane farthest away from its origin is the leading edge.<br />
Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Head Radius: 0.75<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Tail Radius:====<br />
Defines the width of the trailing edge, or "tail" of the weapon effect.<br />
*The edge of the 2D plane that is closest to its origin is the trailing edge.<br />
Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Tail Radius: 0.75<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
===$Mass:===<br />
*How much of a kinetic effect this weapon has on its target. 3+ gives you the Flail effect. Set it to 10 and you can knock cruisers around.<br />
*This is somehow multiplied by the speed. ie ''$Mass: 3'' and ''$Velocity: 200'' has much weaker kinetic effect than ''$Mass: 3'' and ''$Velocity: 1000''. Also $Mass is used to calculate intensity of "shudder" effect if flagged.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', blast effect<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Velocity:===<br />
*How fast the weapon travels. Is also used to define the weapon range, '''''$Velocity x $Lifetime = range'''''.<br />
*Beams travel instantly so this field has effect only on weapon range and AI beam targeting with certain beam types. $Velocity of beam also applies to its kinetic effect along with $Mass.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters per second<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Fire Wait:===<br />
*Time in seconds between firings<br />
*Note that Fire wait will be reset to 1 if it is set over 5 for non turreted primary weapons (doesn't apply to 3.6.14+)<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', seconds<br />
<br />
====+Max Delay:====<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines the maximum amount of time it takes to refire a weapon in a random fire delay range.<br />
**This must be used with +Min Delay: to have any effect.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', seconds}}<br />
<br />
====+Min Delay:====<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines the minimum amount of time it takes to refire a weapon in a random fire delay range.<br />
**This must be used with +Max Delay: to have any effect.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', seconds}}<br />
<br />
===$Damage:===<br />
*Base damage this weapon does. The actual damage is this number multiplied by the factors below.<br />
*Base damage this beam does is continuous damage, damage is 5.5 times the damage value per second. The actual damage is this number multiplied by one of the factors below.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', damage<br />
*Note: adding a shockwave to a weapon doubles its effective damage to the target (i.e. 1x impact, 1x shockwave)<br />
<br />
===$Damage Time:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*This sets a time from the end of the weapons lifetime that damage will start to attenuate at. '''''Example: Weapon lifetime is 2.0 seconds and the desired effect is to attenuate after 0.5 seconds have passed, set this to 1.5 seconds.'''''<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', seconds. Defaults to 0.0.<br />
**Note: If neither +Min Damage: nor +Max Damage: is set, the damage will always attenuate to zero at max range.<br />
***If both +Min Damage: and +Max Damage: are set, both are defaulted to 0.0 and damage will be attenuated to zero.}}<br />
<br />
====+Attenuation Damage:====<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*This sets the damage a weapon will attenuate to after reaching $Damage Time:.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', damage.}}<br />
<br />
====+Min Damage:====<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*This sets the lowest amount of damage possible assuming damage attenuation is taking place. '''''This has been deprecated, please use +Attenuation Damage: instead.'''''<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', damage. Defaults to 0.0.}}<br />
<br />
====+Max Damage:====<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*This sets the highest amount of damage possible assuming damage attenuation is taking place. '''''This has been deprecated, please use +Attenuation Damage: instead.'''''<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', damage. Defaults to 0.0.}}<br />
<br />
===$Damage Type:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
Defines the damage type that this weapon uses. All armor effects are applied after shield and have no function against shockwave or subsystem damage.<br />
<br />
'''REQUIRES:''' [[armor.tbl]]<br />
<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name of the damage type ( as defined by [[armor.tbl#$Damage Type:|$Damage Type]] )}}<br />
<br />
===$Arm time:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the time after the launch that is required before the weapon comes hot<br />
*If the time has not been reached when the weapon detonates the Dinky explosion is used<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', seconds}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Arm distance:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the distance from the firing ships that is required before the weapon comes hot<br />
*If the distance has not been reached when the weapon detonates the Dinky explosion is used<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters}}<br />
{{Table3615|<br />
*This parameter is also applied to flak weapons. Previous behaviour was to arm weapons after 10 meters of travel.}}<br />
<br />
===$Arm radius:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the distance from the target where the weapon will arm itself<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters}}<br />
<br />
===$Detonation Range:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the distance from the point in space that the weapon was launched where the weapon will detonate<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Detonation Radius:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the distance between the target center point point and the weapon which detonates the weapon.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Shockwave damage:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Override for the damage caused by shockwaves (default is [[#$Damage:]])<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', damage<br />
*Note: adding a shockwave to a weapon doubles its effective damage to the target (i.e. 1x impact, 1x shockwave)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===$Shockwave Damage Type:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*'''REQUIRES ADDITIONAL TABLE'''. Defines the damage type used for the weapon explosions<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name as defined in [[armor.tbl]]}}<br />
<br />
===$Flak Detonation Accuracy:===<br />
{{Table3615|<br />
*Normally, flak weapons detonate at a range of 65 to 99 meters from their intended target, depending on the firing ships' weapon subsystem health. This parameter can be used to adjust this behaviour, as it defines the base range used to determine this detonation range. Standard value is 65.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', range in meters}}<br />
<br />
===$Flak Targeting Accuracy:===<br />
{{Table3615|<br />
*Turret-fired flak weapons are normally firing in a cone around the target's predicted position. This parameter can be used to adjust the size of this cones' base radius. Standard is 60 meters.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', radius in meters}}<br />
<br />
===$Untargeted Flak Range Penalty:===<br />
{{Table3615|<br />
*If a flak weapon is fired without a target selected, this parameter defines the range penalty applied to that weapon. Standard is 20 meters, meaning an untargeted flak weapon will detonate after travelling its max range - 20 meters.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', penalty in meters.}}<br />
<br />
===$Blast Force:===<br />
*The intensity of the kinetic blast effect when ship is within the outer radius of the explosion. Comes in effect only if inner and outer radius are defined.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', blast effect<br />
<br />
===$Inner Radius:===<br />
*Radius at which the full explosion damage is done. Marks the line where damage attenuation begins. Damage is reduced by the square of the distance between the inner radius and outer radius. i.e. half way between inner and outer results in 1/4 damage<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
===$Outer Radius:===<br />
*Maximum radius at which any damage is done. See $Inner Radius for the attenuation formula.<br />
*Also defines the size of the shockwave (if shockwave speed is > 0)<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
===$Shockwave Speed:===<br />
*Speed shockwave expands at. Zero means no shockwave and that damage is applied immediately<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters per second<br />

<br />
The '''weapons.tbl''' defines all of the weapon classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-wep.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
The weapons.tbl is responsible for defining the behavior of the numerous weapon effects used in FSO, including the amount of damage dealt, the firing rate, and graphical effects.<br />
<br />
This wiki page goes over all of the entries used exclusively in the weapons.tbl file. Hyperlinks to individual weapon creation/editing tutorials are provided when appropriate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Case Weapons==<br />
===Beam Cannons===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"beam"''' flag<br />
*'''[[weapons.tbl#$BeamInfo:|$BeamInfo:]]'''<br />
<br />
See also: [http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_-_Beam_Weapons Tutorial - Beam Weapons]<br />
<br />
<br />
===Flak Guns===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"flak"''' flag<br />
*'''"particle spew"''' flag<br />
*Must have inner and outer radius defined to have any effect.<br />
*A '''.pof''' model must be defined ( usually '''Hornet.pof''' )<br />
**Note: the model is not actually used... Instead, it uses [[Weapons.tbl#$Pspew:|particle spew]]. Trails may also be added.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*The weapons table consist of several sections<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>'''End''' before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Primary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''standard primaries weapons''' as well as '''beam cannons''' and '''flak cannons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Secondary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''secondary weapons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Beam Weapons'''<br />
***I haven't got any ideas for this one.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''[[Weapons.tbl#Countermeasures|Countermeasures]]'''<br />
***Defines the used countermeasure.<br />
**'''$Player Weapon Precedence'''<br />
***Player Weapon Precedence is used in weapon selection when a default specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next weapon on the list is used in its place (assuming that weapon is allowed for the player).<br />
<br />
==Core Table==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*This is the name of the weapon. If it's going to be used by the player, keep it under 12 characters so it doesn't spill over the HUD box.<br>Two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''. Their usage details are the very same than inside the [[Ships.tbl#.24Name:_2|$Name field from Ships.tbl]].<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
====+nocreate====<br />
{{Table3610|<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Alt Name:===<br />
{{Table3611|<br />
*An alternative name that can be referenced instead of $Name:<br />

<br />
===$Subtype:===<br />
{{Table3610| <br />
Specifies the weapon 's subtype. Overrides the default subtype as specified by the #-section it is in (#Primary, #Secondary, #Beam Weapon, etc.).<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Note|<br />
:Since the weapon subtype is already specified by the #-section it is in, this option is not particularly useful when the weapon is inside a #Primary or #Secondary section. However, it may be used to specify the weapon slot it uses on fighters/bombers for weapons that are normally capship only (such as beam cannons).}} <br />

===$Selection Effect:===<br />
{{Table3613|<br />
*Defines which selection effect to use when the -weapon_choice_3d commandline flag is enabled or no ani can be found for the selected weapon.<br />

*Syntax: '''''String''''', filename}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Model File:===<br />
*Filename of the model file (.pof) at data/models folder. Additional fields beginning from '''''@Laser Bitmap:''''' and ending to '''''@Laser Tail Radius:''''' are not needed if a model has been defined for the weapon.<br />
*Standard primaries and beam cannons do not use specific models so for those the name is 'none'.<br />
*Flak weapons and secondaries use models, though the exact model is not important with the flak weapons.<br />

*Optional. If not defined the game uses the formula ((radius * 20.0 + 20.0) * LOD)<br />
*Syntax: '''''(Detail Distances)''''' , list of '''integers''' (same amount as LODs), distances from the model in meters<br />
**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''}}<br />

{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the rotation speed of the subobject, with the $gun_rotation property defined, in the external weapon model.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
*Note: weapon fire will be delayed by the time it takes for the weapon to spin up to this speed (using $Submodel Rotation Acceleration or its default value), regardless of whether an external model is used or not.<br />
}}<br />
{{Table38|<br />
*Note: It's no longer required that the ship actually have external models enabled (whether or not this weapon has one defined) for the spin up delay to occur.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===$Submodel Rotation Acceleration:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Defines the rotation acceleration of the external weapon model.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
*Default value: 10}}<br />
<br />
===@Laser===<br />
In the event a 3D model is not defined for the weapon, FSO creates an object similar to a glowpoint. Essentially, it is a 2D plane that always faces the player's camera with an additive texture applied to it, and may or may not have an omnilight follow it.<br />
<br />
As suggested by its name, this option group is normally used for lasers and similar primaries, but it may also be used for other weapon types as well.<br />
<br />
Unless said otherwise, the graphic files used within this group may be of any compatible type (.DDS, .PCX, .TGA, etc.), however a .DDS is recommended.<br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Bitmap:====<br />
Defines the graphic file to be used as the weapon effect.<br />
<br />
Blending type: additive<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''String''''', filename<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Bitmap: my_laser_bitmap<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Glow:====<br />
Defines the graphic file to be used for the glowmap of the weapon effect.<br />
<br />
Blending type: additive<br />
<br />
*This file is 'multiplied' by a value between Color and Color2.<br />
*The physical dimensions of the glowmap in-game is 2x the size of the bitmap.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''String''''', filename<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Glow: my_laser_glowmap<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Color:====<br />
The RGB color of the glow effect.<br />
<br />
*The color is applied both to the glowmap and the omnilight that follows the effect.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, 8-bit value from 0 to 255<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Color: 255, 0, 0 ; Red glow effect at the start of the effect's lifetime<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Color2:====<br />
The RGB color of the glow effect at the end of the effect's lifetime (at its maximum range).<br />
<br />
*The color is applied both to the glowmap and the omnilight that follows the effect.<br />
*The actual color of the glow effect is somewhere in between the values defined by Color and Color2. Essentially, the actual color "fades" from Color to Color2 over its lifetime.<br />
**If Color is not defined, then a default value of 255, 255, 255 is assumed for its initial color.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, 8-bit value from 0 to 255<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Color2: 0, 0, 255 ; Blue glow effect at the end of the effect's lifetime.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''Example:'''<br />
<pre><br />
@Laser Color: 255, 0, 0 ; Start with a Red glow effect, and fade into...<br />
@Laser Color2: 0, 0, 255 ; a Blue glow effect over the lifetime of the effect.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Length:====<br />
Defines the length of the weapon effect.<br />

<br />
====+index:====<br />
{{Table3613|<br />
FSO will substitute the '''Weapon Name''' at firepoint ''index'' in the shot pattern.

<br />
The '''weapons.tbl''' defines all of the weapon classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-wep.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
The weapons.tbl is responsible for defining the behavior of the numerous weapon effects used in FSO, including the amount of damage dealt, the firing rate, and graphical effects.<br />
<br />
This wiki page goes over all of the entries used exclusively in the weapons.tbl file. Hyperlinks to individual weapon creation/editing tutorials are provided when appropriate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Case Weapons==<br />
===Beam Cannons===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"beam"''' flag<br />
*'''[[weapons.tbl#$BeamInfo:|$BeamInfo:]]'''<br />
<br />
See also: [http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_-_Beam_Weapons Tutorial - Beam Weapons]<br />
<br />
<br />
===Flak Guns===<br />
'''REQUIRES:'''<br />
*'''"flak"''' flag<br />
*'''"particle spew"''' flag<br />
*Must have inner and outer radius defined to have any effect.<br />
*A '''.pof''' model must be defined ( usually '''Hornet.pof''' )<br />
**Note: the model is not actually used... Instead, it uses [[Weapons.tbl#$Pspew:|particle spew]]. Trails may also be added.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*The weapons table consist of several sections<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>'''End''' before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Primary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''standard primaries weapons''' as well as '''beam cannons''' and '''flak cannons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Secondary Weapons'''<br />
***Defines all '''secondary weapons'''.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Beam Weapons'''<br />
***I haven't got any ideas for this one.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''[[Weapons.tbl#Countermeasures|Countermeasures]]'''<br />
***Defines the used countermeasure.<br />
**'''$Player Weapon Precedence'''<br />
***Player Weapon Precedence is used in weapon selection when a default specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next weapon on the list is used in its place (assuming that weapon is allowed for the player).<br />
<br />
==Core Table==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*This is the name of the weapon. If it's going to be used by the player, keep it under 12 characters so it doesn't spill over the HUD box.<br>Two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''. Their usage details are the very same than inside the [[Ships.tbl#.24Name:_2|$Name field from Ships.tbl]].<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
====+nocreate====<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in Weapons.tbl or in earlier parsed *-wep.tbm files) by the time the *-wep.tbm is read.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Alt Name:===<br />
{{Table3611|<br />
*An alternative name that can be referenced instead of $Name:<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Subtype:===<br />
{{Table3610| <br />
Specifies the weapon 's subtype. Overrides the default subtype as specified by the #-section it is in (#Primary, #Secondary, #Beam Weapon, etc.).<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Note|<br />
:Since the weapon subtype is already specified by the #-section it is in, this option is not particularly useful when the weapon is inside a #Primary or #Secondary section. However, it may be used to specify the weapon slot it uses on fighters/bombers for weapons that are normally capship only (such as beam cannons).}} <br />
<br />
<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
*Valid Entries: <br />
:Primary<br />
:Secondary}}<br />
<br />

===@Laser===<br />
In the event a 3D model is not defined for the weapon, FSO creates an object similar to a glowpoint. Essentially, it is a 2D plane that always faces the player's camera with an additive texture applied to it, and may or may not have an omnilight follow it.<br />
<br />
As suggested by its name, this option group is normally used for lasers and similar primaries, but it may also be used for other weapon types as well.<br />
<br />

</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
====@Laser Color2:====<br />
The RGB color of the glow effect at the end of the effect's lifetime (at its maximum range).<br />
<br />
*The color is applied both to the glowmap and the omnilight that follows the effect.<br />
*The actual color of the glow effect is somewhere in between the values defined by Color and Color2. Essentially, the actual color "fades" from Color to Color2 over its lifetime.<br />
**If Color is not defined, then a default value of 255, 255, 255 is assumed for its initial color.<br />
<br />
Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, 8-bit value from 0 to 255<br />

The '''ships.tbl''' defines all the ship classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-shp.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''<br />
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''<br />
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''<br />
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}<br />
<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''<br />
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game<br />
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.<br />
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''<br />
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)<br />
<br />
==Default Player Ship==<br />
*Defines the default ship in the game.<br />
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Engine Wash==<br />
*Defines the engines washes<br />
*First entry must be named 'default'<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Defines the name of the engine wash.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Angle:===<br />
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Radius Mult:===<br />
*Defines engine wash multiplier<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Length:===<br />
*Defines the length of the engine wash<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Intensity:===<br />
*Defines the strength of the engine wash<br />
*This setting does nothing<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', blast effect<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Example'''<br />
<br />
$Name: Default<br />
$Angle: 10.0<br />
$Radius Mult: 1.2<br />
$Length: 400<br />
$Intensity: 1.0<br />
<br />
==Ship Template Options==<br />
{{Warning|<br />
The ship templates feature has always caused crashes and memory issues. As of 2014/07/24, it has been removed from the codebase.}}<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Example of template usage [[Ship_Templates]] in which both [[GTB Artemis]] variants have been defined using a single template}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Template:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />

<br />
===+Use Template:===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Another template can be used as template for the current template<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name}}<br />
<br />
==Ships Table Options==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry.<br>There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''<br />
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name and cannot be the first character in the $Name: string. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game.<br>An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.<br />
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason.<br>In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />

*Defines the LOD (Level-Of-Detail) of target model used in the HUD targetbox<br />
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Detail Distance:===<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values. These multipliers default to (from left to right): 1/8, 1/4, 1, 4, and 8, and may be overridden by the [[Ai_profiles.tbl#$Detail Distance Multiplier:|$Detail Distance Multiplier]]<br />
*Syntax: '''''(Detail Distances)''''' , list of '''integers''' (same amount as LODs), distances from the model in meters<br />
**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Collision LOD:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines an alternative LOD (Level-Of-Detail) to use for collision detection. Using this can increase performance without visible drawbacks if the LOD chosen has much simpler geometry but the shape still closely matches the base model.<br />
*This works as follows: collision detection proceeds normally through the various model/submodel radius and bounding box checks based on LOD0, but when the game decides to perform a mesh-based collision check of a given submodel, it will use the submodel's LOD mesh instead. However, all submodels do not need to have a counterpart in the given LOD; if one is not found, the closest alternative will automatically be used instead.<br />
*For example, if ''$Collision LOD: 3'' is used and the submodel engine01a is checked for a hit, the game will attempt to use the mesh of engine01d instead. However, if there is no engine01d submodel, the game will find the closest alternative: it'll look for engine01c, then engine01b, and finally fall back to engine01a. Note the implications of for example the root LOD submodel (detaild, detail3, etc) including the geometry of subsystem submodels; if detail0 is checked for a collision before engine01a, and detail3 includes the engine geometry (as opposed to having it in engine01d), then the subsystem engine01a cannot be hit.<br />
**Syntax: '''''Integer'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$ND:===<br />
*No Dim field field was used in FreeSpace for ship lights. Use of glowmaps is preferred to the $ND entry. Only noticeable in Glide or Software mode.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, value from 0 to 255<br />
**Example: ''42, 42, 224''<br />
<br />
===$Enable Team Colors:===<br />
{{Table3615|<br />

*None is will set the default to 'no coloring'.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name of the teams as defined in [[colors.tbl]]}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Show Damage:===<br />
*No function at all. The engine will read values, but discard them. In 3.6.10 or later, this can be left out without adverse consequences.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Boolean''''', yes or no, usually yes<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
===$Density:===<br />
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Model Point Shield Controls:===<br />
{{Table371|<br />
*Allows remapping of the 4 shield augmentation keys when [[Model Point Shields]] are used. You should usually supply as many values as you have shield segments. The first value determines which augmentation key to use for the first shield segment, the second value determines which key to use for the second shield segment, and so on (the order being defined by the order of the shield points in the model file). If less than 4 values are given, "none" is assumed for the missing ones. Note that as there are only 4 augmentation keys, player ships with more than 4 shield segments would generally not be a good idea.<br />
*Syntax: '''''( String list )''''', possible values "front", "left", "right", "rear" and "none"<br />
**Example: ''( "front" "rear" )'' for a ship with only two shield sections, front and rear; the left and right augmentation keys would be disabled.<br />
**Example: ''( "left" "rear" "right" )'' for a ship with only three shield sections, left, right and rear; the front augmentation key would be disabled.<br />

*Determines a maximum recharge limit of shields. When used, the combined maximum shield energy is lowered, meaning that shield energy can be moved between quadrants even with shields fully charged.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', multiplier ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, defaults to 1.0<br />
**Example: ''$Max Shield Recharge: 0.5'' caps the combined shield energy to 50%, meaning that a ship with 4 shield quadrants will by default have 12.5% strength on all quadrants (instead of normal 25%), allowing it to for example augment one quadrant to 50% while dropping other quadrants to 0%.<br />

===$Name:===<br />
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry.<br>There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''<br />
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name and cannot be the first character in the $Name: string. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game.<br>An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.<br />
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason.<br>In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.<br />

===$Detail Distance:===<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values.

<br />
===$Collision LOD:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines an alternative LOD (Level-Of-Detail) to use for collision detection. Using this can increase performance without visible drawbacks if the LOD chosen has much simpler geometry but the shape still closely matches the base model.<br />
*This works as follows: collision detection proceeds normally through the various model/submodel radius and bounding box checks based on LOD0, but when the game decides to perform a mesh-based collision check of a given submodel, it will use the submodel's LOD mesh instead. However, all submodels do not need to have a counterpart in the given LOD; if one is not found, the closest alternative will automatically be used instead.<br />
*For example, if ''$Collision LOD: 3'' is used and the submodel engine01a is checked for a hit, the game will attempt to use the mesh of engine01d instead. However, if there is no engine01d submodel, the game will find the closest alternative: it'll look for engine01c, then engine01b, and finally fall back to engine01a. Note the implications of for example the root LOD submodel (detaild, detail3, etc) including the geometry of subsystem submodels; if detail0 is checked for a collision before engine01a, and detail3 includes the engine geometry (as opposed to having it in engine01d), then the subsystem engine01a cannot be hit.<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Density:===<br />
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1<br />

===$Damp:===<br />
*Sets the natural period (1 / omega) of the dampening effects on top of the acceleration model. (See [[Ships.tbl#$Forward Accel:|$Forward Accel:]])<br />
*In essence, affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slower acceleration and deceleration, while lower values (down to 0.0001) means faster acceleration/deceleration.<br />
**Specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping placed on top of the acceleration model, which is the most responsiveness you'll get.<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Max Velocity:===<br />
*Defines maximum velocities with standard energy settings on x (left/right), y (up/down), and z (forward) -axis (respectively). z -axis velocity defines the maximum forward velocity.<br />

===$Player Minimum Velocity:===<br />
{{Table38|<br />
*Defines minimum velocities on x (left/right), y (up/down), and z (forward) -axis (respectively). This affects the player only, the AI ignores the value. <br />

*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', seconds per 360 degree turn around x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively<br />
**Example: ''3.0, 2.6, 5.0''<br />
**Note: Setting to Zero will cause the model to disappear in mission.<br />

===$Forward Accel:===<br />
*Number of seconds needed from full stop to 63.21% of the maximum forward (z) velocity<br />
** We use 63.21% instead of 100% because FSO's acceleration/velocity model is based on a simplistic exponential function, rather than the more complex models seen for prop-driven, jet-driven, or rocket-driven craft.<br />

*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''<br />
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.<br />

:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''<br />
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)<br />
<br />
==Default Player Ship==<br />
*Defines the default ship in the game.<br />
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].<br />

===$Name:===<br />
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry.<br>There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''<br />
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name and cannot be the first character in the $Name: string. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game.<br>An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.<br />
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason.<br>In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Detail Distance:===<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values.

**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Collision LOD:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines an alternative LOD (Level-Of-Detail) to use for collision detection. Using this can increase performance without visible drawbacks if the LOD chosen has much simpler geometry but the shape still closely matches the base model.<br />
*This works as follows: collision detection proceeds normally through the various model/submodel radius and bounding box checks based on LOD0, but when the game decides to perform a mesh-based collision check of a given submodel, it will use the submodel's LOD mesh instead. However, all submodels do not need to have a counterpart in the given LOD; if one is not found, the closest alternative will automatically be used instead.<br />
*For example, if ''$Collision LOD: 3'' is used and the submodel engine01a is checked for a hit, the game will attempt to use the mesh of engine01d instead. However, if there is no engine01d submodel, the game will find the closest alternative: it'll look for engine01c, then engine01b, and finally fall back to engine01a. Note the implications of for example the root LOD submodel (detaild, detail3, etc) including the geometry of subsystem submodels; if detail0 is checked for a collision before engine01a, and detail3 includes the engine geometry (as opposed to having it in engine01d), then the subsystem engine01a cannot be hit.<br />

<br />
===$Density:===<br />
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.<br />

**Example: ''3.0, 2.6, 5.0''<br />
**Note: Setting to Zero will cause the model to disappear in mission.<br />

The '''ships.tbl''' defines all the ship classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-shp.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''<br />
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''<br />
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''<br />
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}<br />
<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''<br />
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game<br />
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.<br />
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''<br />
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)<br />
<br />
==Default Player Ship==<br />
*Defines the default ship in the game.<br />
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Engine Wash==<br />
*Defines the engines washes<br />
*First entry must be named 'default'<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Defines the name of the engine wash.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Angle:===<br />
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Radius Mult:===<br />
*Defines engine wash multiplier<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
<br />
<br />

*Defines the length of the engine wash<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters<br />
<br />
<br />

==Ship Template Options==<br />
{{Warning|<br />
The ship templates feature has always caused crashes and memory issues. As of 2014/07/24, it has been removed from the codebase.}}<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Example of template usage [[Ship_Templates]] in which both [[GTB Artemis]] variants have been defined using a single template}}<br />

*Syntax: '''''String''''', name}}<br />
<br />
==Ships Table Options==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry.<br>There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''<br />
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name and cannot be the first character in the $Name: string. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game.<br>An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.<br />
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason.<br>In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />

*Defines the LOD (Level-Of-Detail) of target model used in the HUD targetbox<br />
*Syntax: '''''Integer'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Detail Distance:===<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values. These multipliers default to (from left to right): 1/8, 1/4, 1, 4, and 8, and may be overridden by the [[Ai_profiles.tbl#$Detail Distance Multiplier:|$Detail Distance Multiplier]]<br />
*Syntax: '''''(Detail Distances)''''' , list of '''integers''' (same amount as LODs), distances from the model in meters<br />
**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Collision LOD:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines an alternative LOD (Level-Of-Detail) to use for collision detection. Using this can increase performance without visible drawbacks if the LOD chosen has much simpler geometry but the shape still closely matches the base model.<br />
*This works as follows: collision detection proceeds normally through the various model/submodel radius and bounding box checks based on LOD0, but when the game decides to perform a mesh-based collision check of a given submodel, it will use the submodel's LOD mesh instead. However, all submodels do not need to have a counterpart in the given LOD; if one is not found, the closest alternative will automatically be used instead.<br />
*For example, if ''$Collision LOD: 3'' is used and the submodel engine01a is checked for a hit, the game will attempt to use the mesh of engine01d instead. However, if there is no engine01d submodel, the game will find the closest alternative: it'll look for engine01c, then engine01b, and finally fall back to engine01a. Note the implications of for example the root LOD submodel (detaild, detail3, etc) including the geometry of subsystem submodels; if detail0 is checked for a collision before engine01a, and detail3 includes the engine geometry (as opposed to having it in engine01d), then the subsystem engine01a cannot be hit.<br />

<br />
===$Density:===<br />
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.<br />

The '''ships.tbl''' defines all the ship classes used in FSO.<br />
<br />
<br />
This table is one of the [[Modular Tables]] and can be extended with xxx-shp.tbm<br />
<br />
[[Tables|List of Tables]]<br />
<br />
==General Format==<br />
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.<br />
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''<br />
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.<br />
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''<br />
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''<br />
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}<br />
<br />

:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game<br />
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.<br />
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''<br />
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)<br />
<br />
==Default Player Ship==<br />
*Defines the default ship in the game.<br />
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Engine Wash==<br />
*Defines the engines washes<br />
*First entry must be named 'default'<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Defines the name of the engine wash.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Angle:===<br />
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Radius Mult:===<br />
*Defines engine wash multiplier<br />
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''<br />
<br />

==Ship Template Options==<br />
{{Warning|<br />
The ship templates feature has always caused crashes and memory issues. As of 2014/07/24, it has been removed from the codebase.}}<br />
{{Table3610|<br />
*Example of template usage [[Ship_Templates]] in which both [[GTB Artemis]] variants have been defined using a single template}}<br />

*Syntax: '''''String''''', name}}<br />
<br />
==Ships Table Options==<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Name:===<br />
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry.<br>There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''<br />
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name and cannot be the first character in the $Name: string. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game.<br>An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.<br />
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason.<br>In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name<br />
<br />
===+nocreate===<br />
{{Table3610|<br />

<br />
<br />
===$Detail Distance:===<br />
*Defines the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs<br />
*Take notice that these are base values. Model detail in Detail options, (within game press F2), applies a multiplier to these values.

*Syntax: '''''(Detail Distances)''''' , list of '''integers''' (same amount as LODs), distances from the model in meters<br />
**Example: ''(0, 80, 300, 900)''<br />
<br />
<br />
===$Collision LOD:===<br />
{{Table373|<br />
*Defines an alternative LOD (Level-Of-Detail) to use for collision detection. Using this can increase performance without visible drawbacks if the LOD chosen has much simpler geometry but the shape still closely matches the base model.<br />
*This works as follows: collision detection proceeds normally through the various model/submodel radius and bounding box checks based on LOD0, but when the game decides to perform a mesh-based collision check of a given submodel, it will use the submodel's LOD mesh instead. However, all submodels do not need to have a counterpart in the given LOD; if one is not found, the closest alternative will automatically be used instead.<br />
*For example, if ''$Collision LOD: 3'' is used and the submodel engine01a is checked for a hit, the game will attempt to use the mesh of engine01d instead. However, if there is no engine01d submodel, the game will find the closest alternative: it'll look for engine01c, then engine01b, and finally fall back to engine01a. Note the implications of for example the root LOD submodel (detaild, detail3, etc) including the geometry of subsystem submodels; if detail0 is checked for a collision before engine01a, and detail3 includes the engine geometry (as opposed to having it in engine01d), then the subsystem engine01a cannot be hit.<br />
**Syntax: '''''Integer'''''}}<br />
<br />
<br />
===$ND:===<br />
*No Dim field field was used in FreeSpace for ship lights. Use of glowmaps is preferred to the $ND entry. Only noticeable in Glide or Software mode.<br />
*Syntax: '''''Color''''', red, green, blue respectively, value from 0 to 255<br />
**Example: ''42, 42, 224''<br />
<br />
===$Enable Team Colors:===<br />

*None is will set the default to 'no coloring'.<br />
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name of the teams as defined in [[colors.tbl]]}}<br />

*Syntax: '''''Boolean''''', yes or no, usually yes<br />
<br />

<br />
===$Density:===<br />
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.<br />

<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />

<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />

<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Screencapcontest.png|center|link=Screencap_Contest]]<br />
<br />
==Contest==<br />
The contest, started by Axem and now judged by MjnMixael, is a part of the monthly HLP Newsletter. The whole idea is to capture the best of the best of what the FSO engine can do! Each month features a theme and entries must be based on that theme.<br />
<br />
By entering the contest, you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge. [[Image:Silverbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!<br />
[[Image:Goldbadge.png]]<br />
<br />
Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)<br />
<br />
==Scoring==<br />
The points don't matter, so don't worry about them! However, these types of things tend to help your screencap get closer to winning.<br />
*'''Uniqueness of composition''' ''(Is it like every other screen out there, or is it something new?)''<br />
*'''Communicates''' ''(Does your image tell a story? Does it capture the mind of the viewer?)''<br />
*'''Wow-factor''' ''(How much does this image scream to be a desktop wallpaper?)''<br />
*'''Framing and Composition''' ''([http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/ 10 Rules of Photo Composition])''<br />
*'''?????''' ''(?????)''<br />
*'''Profit!''' ''($$$$$)''<br />
<br />
==Unbreakable Rules==<br />
These rules must be true of a screencap in order to be eligible to win.<br />
*Must be from the FSO engine<br />
*No HUDs<br />
*No Photoshop or any post procesing<br />
*Must fit the month's theme<br />
*Only 3 entries per person, per month<br />
