    • Mission bit help


      How would I do this for misn resource type:

      Avaliable bits: b### or b####

      When I look at other misns I see things like !(b245 b726) so I think I need some special code.

      I know this is an extremely simple question. Is there some sort of guide that I can figure out things like this without having to make a topic on the forums?

      If on Mac, you do "SHIFT" + "ALT" + "L".

      Use Entarus' guide to NCBs, and in the future, here's how to proceed:

      1. You first look at the "All the Important Links You'll Ever Need" and "Member-Run FAQ" topics (they're pinned, so they are at the top of the EV Dev Corner forum).

      2. If your answer is not in there, you then do a search.

      3. If your search has not brought any helpful results (so don't just look at the first search results), you then ask on the forum.

    • It's also explained near the start of the Nova Bible:

      Nova Bible said:

      The following terms and operators are supported: (capitalization doesn't matter)

      Bxxx Lookup the value of control bit xxx. Bits are numbered from b0 to b9999.
      Pxxx Check if the game is registered ((P)aid for) ... evaluates to 1 if
      the game is registered or is unregistered but less than xxx days have
      elapsed. Evaluates to 0 only if unregistered for more than xxx days.
      G Lookup the player's gender - 1 if male, 0 if female
      Oxxx Returns 1 if the player has at least one of outfit item ID xxx, 0 if not
      Exxx Returns 1 if the player has explored system ID xxx, 0 if not
      | Logical or operator
      & Logical and operator
      ! Logical negation operator
      ( ) Parenthetical enclosure

      Don't you mean "SHIFT" + "ALT" + "L" on a PC , Pace? On a mac it's "SHIFT" + "".

      Sorry. It's because I have an AZERTY keyboard :D. (which is, by the way, better than QWERTY ;))

    • Yeah, I was about to say that Pace was right. Notice that, to make space for all our accented chars, some characters that you use often (in programming, or BB code, as they are part of base ASCII), such as |, (, {, , are only available on our keyboards using option. umlauts, on the other hand...
