0.99 Requests Thread-

[Periculi]

Betelgeuse and I were talking about some ideas that might be easy to implement-

<StoryLine> event of some type that allowed us to make use of that awesome epic screen image and crawl text during the course of the game.

This would be really fun for making missions and other custom plot effects, George. Something similar to the <OnGameStart> structure where we can define the background image and perform some scripting.

(objEnumTypes criteria variable function) this would be extremely handy to perform a variety of system customization tasks. There doesn't seem to be a way currently to get a list of the stations to select from to use with sysCreateStation, and being able to get a list of stations with a filter would be grand!

Could (objEnumItems also look for data much like sysFindObject does? This would be a very useful search function expansion for me.

a very useful thing would be to be able to change what map icon an space object has.
This could make enemy ships look green friendlies.
Make stations that look like wrecks on the map but are real.
Make cloaked enemies.
Make an icon to fix the created planets orbit lines.
Hide planets (so others will less likely to find where there base is.
Hack into mapping systems and display garbage (huge smiley faces everywhere)
Hidden weapon shots (you couldn't tell a shot was coming until it was on the main screen)

I'll add a feature to allow you to play .mp3 files.

George , I'm very grateful that you added so many things in 0.99 and I'm very very happy, but I'm still looking forward to mp3 support (and a couple of functions like sndPlay and sndStop in order to use the music in dockscreens or after entering a new system or when a mission is assigned to the player)

Can you put it on the roadmap ?

with the ObjfireItemEvent being so useful I would like something like sysFireEvent so that systems could have events of there own plus it would be something you could place events you need to run without worrying about it being messed with by other code or destruction.
