Acceleration while docked
If you dock while time is accelerated, it isn't possible to change acceleration. Can this be fixed? If not, how about resetting acceleration to 1:1 when docking?

Re: Acceleration while docked
I think this has already been fixed in trunk (along with making it only possible to manually alter TAF when the framerate is being displayed, to avoid oopses)
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Re: Acceleration while docked
Oh, not sure I like that. I use TAF a lot, like when flying to the sun to refuel on long delivery runs. I suppose I could write an AutoIt script to 1. Turn on FPS, 2. Pause, 3. Set TAF to x16, 4. Un-pause, 5. Turn off FPS, and another script to set it back to 1x again.Diziet Sma wrote:(along with making it only possible to manually alter TAF when the framerate is being displayed, to avoid oopses)

Re: Acceleration while docked
In future, I think TAF will only be available in the developer version anyway, not in the deployment version of Oolite.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Acceleration while docked
The idea was to prevent the accidental speeding up of the TAF while paused (as happened to a number of people, who were then mystified when subsequent combat bouts seemed so much more frantic than usual)PhilHibbs wrote:Oh, not sure I like that.

Code: Select all
alertConditionChanged = function (new, old)
{ if (new == 1) timeAccelerationFactor = 16;
else timeAccelerationFactor = 1;

Re: Acceleration while docked
Isn't there an OXP which does exactly that?PhilHibbs wrote:If you dock while time is accelerated, it isn't possible to change acceleration. Can this be fixed? If not, how about resetting acceleration to 1:1 when docking?
TAF Reset OXP is what you want to install.
