Summary0001165: Tertiary thrusters do not work on capital ships
DescriptionWhat the title says.

Specifying tertiary thrusters in the ships.tbl has no effect ingame:

$Thruster01 Radius factor: 1.2
$Thruster02 Radius factor: 1.2
$Thruster03 Radius factor: 1.9

This entry works on fighters without any problems.

We are using DDS thrusters. Now that I think of it: only the long engine trail will be rendered (It is the secondary thruster unless I am much mistaken) if using TGA thrusters.

and a small nitpick: why are secondary thrusters fading away depending on the angle

take a look at this. Is this intended? Can't see why it should, but...

I mean, how should thruster flame be visible from one angle and not from another?

The subsystem syntax was changed by WMC in the untable branch, and Goober just added that to the stable branch (3.6.9) to try and keep things compatible. I'm debating whether to change it from a Warning to just a quiet debug log thing though, since it is rather annoying. Both the old and new options work still. What it basically means is that instead of using +untargetable and/or one of the others, you replace them with something like: $Flags: ( "untargetable" "carry no damage" )

As far as fading away, I'm not really sure. That's still Bobboau's original code so he would be the one to ask about it.

from what I gathered Wanderer changed that to avoid clipping issues. The result is that I am forced to reduce the trail length by factor two to keep this less noticeable, i.e. I add

$Thruster01 Length factor: 0.5

which oddly enough scales the length of Thruster02.

Personally I see no reason for this fading, because the clipping issue is related to primary/tertiary thrusters. The secondary thruster has little effect if placed properly.
