Ships.tbl
WIP, Please comment, expand and alter
Includes SCP changes in addition to retail data
Made by following the older guide (originally written by GE) by Wanderer
I know practically nothing about HTML/Wiki formatting so it ain't gonna look pretty
$Name:
- Model name
- filename
$Short name:
- Shortened model name, for FRED
- ????
$Species:
- Defines species (usually Terran, Vasudan or Shivan). Determines many things, including the color of the engine glow, the flyby sound effects, the briefing icon, the support ship, the default IFF, and also FRED color
- name of the species; as defined in species_defs.tbl
List of discriptive terms for techroom and ship selection screens
+Type: XSTR("", -1) +Maneuverability: XSTR("", -1) +Armor: XSTR("", -1) +Manufacturer: XSTR("", -1) +Description: XSTR("", -1) $end_multi_text
+Tech Description: XSTR("", -1) $end_multi_text
+Length: 20 m +Gun Mounts: 4 +Missile Banks: 1

$Detail distance:
- Definies the distance where the change to different LODs occurs
- (LOD0, LOD1, ...)
$Show damage:
- ?????
- YES or NO
$Density:
- ?????
- Numerical value; usually 1
$Damp:
- Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly it moves.
- Numerical value
$Rotdamp:
- Same thing, but for rotational movement.
- Numerical value
$Max Velocity:
- 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

- 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

- Defines rear velocity
- Usually 0
$Forward accel:
- Number of seconds needed from full stop to maximum velocity

$Warpin speed:
- Sets the speed at which the ship warps in
- Numerical value
$Warpout speed:
- Sets the speed at which the ship warps out from the game

$Player warpout speed:
- Sets the speed at which the player warps out from the game
- Numerical value; can not be greater than Max Oclk Speed
$Expl inner rad:
- Radius at which the full explosion damage is done
- In meters
$Expl outer rad:

$Expl Propagates:
- This decides whether the ship explodes into debris immediately, or whether it has the many small explosions before breaking apart slowly
