I downloaded from the link supplied in reply #47. The only thing included are the classfiles; there's no readme file.

I note in the java file that there is provision for conf.ini [Mods] section for the following, the first two of which aren't mentioned in this topic:

- "FailType", which appears to be permitted to range from 0 to 13, defaulting to 0 if no entry present.
- "FailTimer", which gets multiplied by 60; defaults to 0 if no entry present.
- And of course the mentioned "FailureRate", which can lie between 0 to 100, defaulting to 0 if no entry present.


Here's the list of FailType entries in method setafail(), compacted for easier readability:

failtype == 1 .setEngineStops

failtype == 2 .setKillPropAngleDevice " Prop Angle Device Damaged!"

failtype == 3 .setCyliderKnockOut " Cylinders Damaged!"

failtype == 4 .setReadyness " Crank Case Damaged!"

failtype == 5 hitEngine " Crank Case Damaged!"

failtype == 6 .hitEngine " Cylinders Damaged - Engine On Fire!"

failtype == 7 .setKillCompressor " Compressor Out!"

failtype == 8 .setMagnetoKnockOut " Magneto #0 Destroyed!"

failtype == 9 .setMagnetoKnockOut " Magneto #1 Destroyed!"

failtype == 10 .hitTank .doSetTankState (increments fuel tank damage by 1 step)

failtype == 11 .setOilState " Oil Filter Damaged!"

failtype == 12 .hitOil " Oil Tank Leak!"

failtype == 13 .GearControl .Gears.setHydroOperable "Gear: Hydraulic system Failed!"

Below is the first part of randomfail(). It seems to me that variable "season" cannot modify the rate of failure. It's supposed to double the probability for desert and winter maps. But "enginerandom" is always determined when "season" = 0; the value of 500 (for desert/winter) is applied AFTERWARD, where it has no role to play.  And even then, each system is tested against a particular value, which intrinsically has the same probability of matching, which here is 1 in 1,000.

Code: [Select]

    private void randomfail()
    {
        Random random = new Random();
        int randomvalue = random.nextInt(1000);
        int enginenum = random.nextInt(3);
        int enginenumlog = enginenum + 1;
        float f = World.Rnd().nextFloat();
        float season = 0.0F;
        float enginerandom = (float)randomvalue - season;  //(0 to 1000) - 0, or 0 to 1000; (0 to 1000) - 500, or 500 to -500
        if(World.cur().camouflage == 2 || World.cur().camouflage == 1)  //desert or winter
            season = 500F;
        else
            season = 0.0F;
        if(enginerandom == 10F)
        {
            ((FlightModelMain) (super.FM)).EI.engines[0].setEngineStops(this);
            super.playSound("weapon.MGunMk108s", true);
        }


Not tested, but something like this (which can use cleaning up for elegance!) would double the chance of failure for desert and winter maps, where the probability becomes 1 in 500 versus 1 in 1,000 for all other maps:

Code: [Select]

    private void randomfail()
    {
        Random random = new Random();
        int randomvalue;
        if(World.cur().camouflage == 2 || World.cur().camouflage == 1)
{
randomvalue = random.nextInt(500);
float enginerandom = (float)randomvalue;
}
        else
{
randomvalue = random.nextInt(1000);
float enginerandom = (float)randomvalue;
}
        int enginenum = random.nextInt(3);
        int enginenumlog = enginenum + 1;
        float f = World.Rnd().nextFloat();
        if(enginerandom == 10F)
        {
            ((FlightModelMain) (super.FM)).EI.engines[0].setEngineStops(this);
            super.playSound("weapon.MGunMk108s", true);
        }

Is this just theory or will it be adaptable for 4.12?

'Theory' from me so far.    I have a number of ongoing projects on my plate, they being of higher priority. I took a quick look at this purely out of curiosity about this old thread revived. If this were still the headier days of several years ago, with greater involvement in the modding scene, it's likely one or more peeps hereabouts would jump on it.
