Track Question

[Luke159]

Yep another question, in ships_init.c for COAS. What is the following code for? if I change the tracl.enebled to false the game still works fine and the ship I did it for also works fine.

refship.Track.Enable = true;
refship.Track1.ZStart = 0.20;
refship.Track1.LifeTime  = 9;
refship.Track1.Width = "2.0, 2.5";
refship.Track1.Speed = "5.2, 6.2";
refship.Track2.ZStart = -0.05;
refship.Track2.LifeTime  = 7;
refship.Track2.Width = "3.0, 4.0";
refship.Track2.Speed = "0.15, 0.25";

PotC doesn't have any of that, so I can't be sure. I suspect it is related to the wake left by the ship.

I will have a look and see, if it does then that's good news for fine tuning all the ships, but that can be a pain.

The ships_init.c has several errors. Already in the original game to find them.
I am only now came across it, because I'm working on a new ship mod.
