Running Lights

Hi all,

can anyone tell me what this recent addition to the mod pack does please? I've installed it and it gives a coloured dot above the enemy ships,but apart from that I have no idea!

[Aslain]

Green dot - ship is moving

Yellow dot - no idea

Red dot - ship is not moving

[Dazzleship]

cheers for the quick reply Aslain! I should have guessed really....

I see the red dot flash sometimes even though the ship is clearly still moving. I haven't seen orange dot, but I have seen yellow.

A good mod for colour blind sailors then...

Translated from the original mod author post and from the default config:

Зеленый вперед, желтый назад, красный стоит?

 

В конфиге же все. А так... по умолчанию: красный - назад, желтый - стоит. 

Green - ship is going forward

Yellow - ship is standing still

Red - ship is going backwards

 

[Aslain]

So now we know why it's yellow heh :)

Been trying to track down the original of this, any idea where it was posted? Links would be awesome if possible...

[Aslain]

Link to mod is in the mod preview.

Didn't someone update the colors though to:

 

Green = moving forward

Red = stopped

Purple = moving backward

[Aslain]

I have changed colors now, just like in post above.

Thank you Aslain and BlueKQ

its a great mod. thanks for the recolor.  is it making approximations? like does it have the lag of needing to to register and calculate position client-side for the color-change result?  i have and use this mod, but its hard to tell and time off of.   thanks in advance for any info

Because all of the actual calculations of object movement are done on the server and merely rendered in the client, there is some communication between the client running on your computer and the server that happens when you target a ship.
