Instance Config File Format

Introduction

The instances can be in a seperate File or in the same file as the model definition. The format is the same, except, when in a seperate file, the "Model Header" consists of "pointername = [modelname]

Instance defining config

Most instances will never be written by Hand, but If you want:

Entry	Function	Required	comment
CelestialBody	The Name of the Body where to be placed	yes
RadialPosition	vectr from the body-center to the static	no	not required when RefLatitude and RefLongitude is set
Orientation	the Up vector if the static	yes
RadiusOffset	the hight above sealevel	yes
RotationAngle	the heading of the object	yes
isScanable	should the static show up as a anomaly	no	default: false
ModelScale	how much should the model be scaled	no	default: 1
RefLatitude	self explaining	no	not if RadialPosition is given, will be overwritten by RadialPosition
RefLongitude	self explaining	no	not if RadialPosition is given , will be overwritten by RadialPosition
VisibilityRange	from how far should th object be visible	yes
Group	a Name (without blanks) to Group other statics in the surrounding with.	yes	Setting a GroupName != Ungrouped will reduce CPU needed, when the Statics are not visible.
GroupCenter	is this static the center of the group	no	only one should be yes, but will be set automaticly

Facility defining config

Entry	Function	Example	Required	comment

LaunchSite defining config

Entry	Function	Required	comment
FacilityType	internal	no	not needed
LaunchPadTransform	The Name of the Models Transform where to launch	yes
LaunchSiteName	A uniq identifier for this site	yes
LaunchSiteAuthor	who made this	no
LaunchSiteType	from where can be launched	no	SHP,VAB,ANY; default: ANY
LaunchSiteLogo	a custom logo for the site	no
LaunchSiteIcon	a custom mapicon for the site	no
LaunchSiteDescription	some nice description for the site	no
Category	the filter settings on the MAP
LaunchSiteLength	unused	no
LaunchSiteWidth	unused	no
LaunchRefund	the discount for launching here	no
RecoveryFactor	how much can be recovered from here	no
RecoveryRange	from how far can we recover	no
LaunchSiteIsHidden	does the LS show up on the map, when the site is Closed	no	default: false
OpenCloseState	default State of the site	no	default: Closed
OpenCost	how much will the base cost to open	no	setting to "0" will set OpenCloseState to "Open".
CloseValue	the refund, when the site is closed	no
