Mainhall.tbl is used to define the various main menu screens in the game


Format

  • Table consists of several '$Main Hall entries

+Mask:

  • Defines the 'mask' bitmap used for the mainhall. NOTE: FS2 (and by extension FS2_Open) needs the mask file to be in pcx format. Special care must be taken to ensure that the colors of the active areas in the mask file are in the right index of the palette. For reference, here's a list showing which palette index corresponds to which "Door":
    • 0 = inactive

+Intercom delay:

  • Defines the minimum and maximum times (in milliseconds) for the intercom sounds to be played is played.
  • Syntax: Integer Integer, milliseconds

  • Defines the sound played. Value refers to the interface sounds section of the sounds.tbl.
FS2 Open, 3.6.16:
  • Syntax: Integer or String
  • Syntax: Integer

+Intercom pan:

  • Defines the panning effect for the sound. The left side of the screen is -1.0, 0 is the center and the 1.0 is the right side of the screen.
  • Syntax: Float


+Num Misc Animations:

  • Defines the number of miscellaneous animations.
  • Each animation requires several attributes which are filled one attribute for every animation at a time (ie. all animation names come before animation delays).
  • Syntax: Integer


+Misc anim:

  • Sets the animation used for the particular misc animation.
  • Syntax: String


+Misc anim group:

FS2 Open, 3.6.14:
  • Sets the anim group number. Used to play a random animation (1 at a time per group).
  • Can have several anims in the same location, only 1 per group will be played at a time.
  • -1 is no group.
  • Syntax: Integer


+Misc anim delay:

  • First value sets the time until the misc anim is played again (usually set as -1).
  • The last two values define the minimum and maximum delays (in milliseconds) for the miscellanous animations.
  • Syntax: Integer Integer Integer


+Misc anim coords:

  • Defines the coordinates for the misc animation.
  • Measured from the top left corner in X,Y.
  • Syntax: Integer Integer


+Misc anim mode:

  • Defines the type of the misc animation. Type 0 is a looping animation, type 1 is animation that stays at the end frame after playing, type 2 is timed animation.
  • Type must be set to 2 if anim is part of a group.
  • Syntax: Integer


+Misc anim pan:

  • Defines the panning effect for the anim sounds. The left side of the screen is -1.0, 0 is the center and the 1.0 is the right side of the screen.
  • Syntax: Float


+Misc anim sounds:

  • First value sets the number of sounds played with the animation.
  • Rest of the values - equal to the numbers of the sounds played with the animation - define the sounds from the interface sounds section of the sounds.tbl.
FS2 Open, 3.6.16:
  • Syntax: Integer Integer or String Integer or String
  • Syntax: Integer Integer Integer

+Misc anim trigger:

  • First value sets the number of sound triggers for the animation.
  • Rest of the values - equal to the numbers of the sounds in "Misc Anim Sounds" - define the frame of the animation when the sound is to be played.
  • If there are more triggers than sounds listed in "Misc Anim Sounds" it will loop around and play the first sound listed again.
  • Syntax: Integer Integer Integer

+Misc anim handles:

FS2 Open, 3.6.16: This flag is depreciated via commit 8117
  • Defines the number of sounds that can play concurrently.
  • Syntax: Integer

+Misc anim flags:

FS2 Open, 3.6.16: This flag is depreciated via commit 8117
  • Defines which sound from "Misc Anim Sounds" will be played first.
  • There is some confusion on this one, best leave it as '1' (Or retail value).
  • Syntax: Integer

+Num Door Animations:

  • Sets the number of door animations for the mainhall.
  • Syntax: Integer


+Door anim:

  • Defines the animation used for the door animation.
  • Syntax: String


+Door coords:

  • First two values define the coordinates for the animation and the last two values the centerpoint of the animation.
  • Measured from the top left corner.
  • First two are the X,Y for the anim, the second 2 are the X,Y for the center of the anim.
  • Syntax: Integer Integer Integer Integer


+Door sounds:

  • Defines the sounds that played when door opens and closes. Values are references to the interface sounds section of the sounds.tbl.
FS2 Open, 3.6.16:
  • Syntax: Integer or String Integer or String
  • Syntax: Integer Integer

+Door pan:

  • Defines the panning effect for the sound effect. The left side of the screen is -1.0, 0 is the center and the 1.0 is the right side of the screen.
  • Syntax: Float

+Tooltip Y:

  • Sets the Y-coordinate for drawing the tooltip text.
  • Syntax: Integer
