==================== Type: Systems Bug:A LOT of nebula files are missing essential entries ====================
Same as the previous bug report: Multiple nebula files are missing entries in their exclusions zones. Whoever copy-pasted them all over Discovery deserves a beating.
Quick explanation
Exclusion Zones have essential and optional entries. If your exclusion zone doesn't have five or six lines, you likely forgot one essential line. exclusion = Zone_EW16_02 - name of the affected exclusion zone fog_far = 4000.000000 - visual range inside that zone zone_shell = solar\nebula\generic_exclusion.3db - the model of the bubble, they are in the same folder as the nebula inis shell_scalar = 1.100000 - optional, as the game will treat it as 1.000000 if not specifically set max_alpha = 0.200000 - opacity of the bubble, best kept at that value exclusion_tint = 160, 160, 180 - the color the bubble is supposed to have
These are necessary if you want an exclusion zone with a bubble. Otherwise, Exclusion Zones are mostly just used to prevent asteroids/mines/gasplosions from spawning. In that case, you really only need the name of the zone, and that in the related asteroids.ini.
Use Notepad++ or similar apps to edit those nebula .ini files, don't use FL Mod Studio. Latest versions like to eat inputs. Hitting enter to make the visualization a bit easier is also not a crime.
exclusion_tint = 150, 60, 200 for a more Shikoku-fitting color
exclusion_tint = 30, 10, 40 for Kepler's dark matter creeping into the nebula at the JG
Alternatively just leave the bubble away because arriving from Kepler, Shikoku's entrance scene is pretty great even without the bubble.
The system map has exclusion zones in this nebula, at the locations of the gas miners. None of them are mentioned in the nebula file, meaning they only show up on the map. If it's intentional, that's fine although weird, since those bubbles on the map usually indicate bubbles that are actually intended to be present.
Nothing broken, though.
California - li02_tahoe_ice_crystal_cloud.ini
Some genius broke the vanilla bubbles from the California Barrera Passage.
