shortestAngle literally changed my way of seeing tanks with stabilizer, this is amazing

hm.

wow, this is a very detailed guide to the world of XML/Overload!
it's well written, and helpful.
‎
thanks for taking the time to make this list, it aided me in creating a craft quite a few months ago that was otherwise unflyable without some XML attributes being edited.
‎
the inclusion of the chordScale attribute will probably aid me in making a U-boat or Submarine in the future.

(beware, this is not advertising one of my crafts, but here if the craft i am referring to if you were wondering.)

@Kendog84
Thanks, I'll take a look when I have a chance

@PlaneFlightX
Hi. I'm replying very late, but here's an example of lookBackTranslation camera variable. Included multiple cameras to show different translation amount. (The rest, I was just messing around with)

@Mahoots No, it's still there

is it gone?

@MalaySmoker ohh I see now. I'll test and add that when I get a chance.

@PlaneFlightX firingDelay is the rate at which the missile launches like if the value is 5 you will shoot 12 missiles in 1 min

@PlaneFlightX Theres ignitionDelay and firingDelay those are 2 completely different things

@MalaySmoker Isn't it ignitionDelay?

@PlaneFlightX Add firingdelay(seconds) to the missile section

@ThomasRoderick fixed

Missing dragScale attribute for parts. Seems to be an error given the description of calculateDrag compared the two.

@ThomasRoderick I tested it and added it to the list.

@ThomasRoderick I'll test this when I get a chance, thanks for the suggestion

Missing waterproof attribute for missiles.
When set to true allows the missile to still function after contacting water surface; otherwise it will be rendered a dud.

Cj dies

@PlaneFlightX Noted. Seems that 1 missile explosionScale still equals to 350mm of explosionScalar, though.
p.s.: pretty sure I confused the two because they have the same particle effects.

@ThomasRoderick well turns out by other projects I meant spend 1 hour updating SimpleCheats with form submissions and other stuff, so I added your stuff as well. About explosionScalar, I found that only cannons use it now; everything else uses explosionScale.

@Kendog84 I tested lookBackTranslation but it doesn't remain after I close Overload (I also tried lookBackTranslationX and lookBackTranslationY).

@ThomasRoderick I want to work on some other projects right now, but I'll add everything you think of tomorrow.

@PlaneFlightX

• Pretty sure we can't set health or fuel to infinity anymore. Arbitrarily large numbers are still okay, though. Glass parts have an actual health of about 1% of the nominal value (aka if you want a glass part to function like a normal part with 300hp you need to set its health to 30000).
• Cleaver missiles also make use of the explosionScale attribute; other missiles use the explosionScalar attribute. A missile part with explosionScalar set to "1" is about equivalent to a 350mm cannon part with explosionScalar set to "1".
• For gyros, when the autoOrient attribute is set to "true", redefines the "up" direction for the gyro to the "up" direction of the main cockpit. Otherwise the gyro would try to orient the craft to the gyro's own "up" direction.
• For cameras, when the autoOrient attribute is set to "true", redefines the "up" direction for the camera to the craft's "positive" direction (up and/or forward), generally useless. not the same as autoCenterCamera, which is a lot more useful.

@ThomasRoderick Updated

@PlaneFlightX Thanks!

• For CowlFlaps, IIRC when hide is set to "true" it simply hides the entire engine, leaving only the prop and the spinner.
• Guns do use activationGroup attributes; all weapons (guns, rockets, bombs, torps, missiles) can use FunkyTree AG (aka the same as InputController AG), but countermeasures can only use integer AG.
