Topic: SFC.ini switch for disabling Orion Engine Doubling (Read 1164 times)

TarMinyatur · « **on:** July 13, 2003, 09:56:35 am »

First off, I have no objection to Orion engine doubling! What I'd like to be able to do is use some of the 8 pirate cartel slots for unrepresented SFB races/empires (Andromedan, Tholian, Seltorian, LDR, WYN, Jindarian). Currently, the problem with this is that these races inherit the ability to double their engines if they overwrite say the Camboro or Tigerheart factions. (Is there a way to disable this in the spec files? I don't see one.) I know it is wishful thinking but a switch in the .ini for each cartel would be great for my purposes.

This is the only place in the spec files that I've found any reference to engine doubling. It's near the bottom of the aastrings file. I'm not sure if editing it in some way will disable engine doubling or not. I've never tried it. It's about 9/10's the way down.

Hmm, that might disable the hotkey settings graphic but there's still a value in bindings.ini for engine doubling which can't be disabled as far as I know...
