Any old XML stuff devs should look at?

[aaaaaa50]

Over in this thread, Jep and I got two minor little details in an event cleared up. Are there any other old little details y'all modders have found that the devs could clean up easily?

Code: Select all

<event name="PIRATE_CIVILIAN_BEACON">
   <text>The distress beacon is coming from a civilian ship. It appears it is being chased by a pirate.</text>
   <choice>
      <text>Aid the civilian ship.</text>
      <event>
         <text>You power up your weapons and engage the pirate ship.</text>
         <ship load="PIRATE_CIVILIAN" hostile="true"/>
      </event>
   </choice>
   <choice>
      <text>Stay out of it.</text>
      <event>
         <text>The fight brings them out of your immediate scanning range; however, after a time the distress calls stop.</text>
      </event>
   </choice>
   <choice req="weapons" lvl="6" hidden="true" hidden="true">
      <text>(Improved Weapons) Fire a warning shot from your strongest weapon.</text>
      <event load="PIRATE_CIVILIAN_BEACON_BEAM"/>
   </choice>
</event>
<eventList name="PIRATE_CIVILIAN_BEACON_BEAM">
   <event>
      <text>Detecting the greater threat (and potential reward), they turn and engage your ship.</text>
      <ship load="PIRATE_CIVILIAN" hostile="true"/>
   </event>
   <event>
      <choice hiiden="true">
      <text>It seems the pirate wasn't looking for a fight with someone who could fight back. They leave and you move to contact the civilian ship.</text>
         <text>Continue...</text>
         <event load="SAVE_CIVILIAN_LIST"/>
      </choice>
   </event>
</eventList>

hiiden - makes the blue option vanish.

Posted it ages ago, never got a dev to look at it.

specific weapon list coding

Code: Select all

	<weaponList count="2" missiles="18">
		<weapon name="LASER_HEAVY_1_SP"/>
		<weapon name="BOMB_FIRE"/>
		<weapon name="BOMB_1"/>

Not sure if intentional or not, and this was spotted by people on superluminal who loads ships often (specificly this ship). It got 3 weapons in the weapon list, (Heavy Pierce Laser), Fire bomb, and also a normal small bomb, but the weapon count is 2, making it so the small bomb doesn't appear.

Also this is not an XML thing, BUT would like to point out that...
The image for the REBEL_LONG_ELITE (Rebel Fighter Elite) is wrong, it's an Upsidedown 'Old' Rebel cloak. (you know? like back in alpha where Rebels had different looks and paint? white with huge orange strip)

I see that in the FTL: AE trailer there different rooms for normal ships traded for another one, so in case the rebel elite gets cloak, I would want to point that out.
