Summary0002254: $Speed Unit Multiplier to go with $Length Unit Multiplier in hud_gauges.tbl
DescriptionCurrently $Length Unit Multiplier multiplies both speeds and distances together (a value of 6.4 converts Saga speeds in m/s into Wing Commander kps, for instance). A better behavior would be for $Length Unit Multiplier to affect distances only, and a second unit multiplier, $Speed Unit Multiplier, to be added to affect speed only. This would allow, for instance, reporting distances in meters like in regular FreeSpace while reporting speeds in km/h (or even using imperial measurements like reporting speed in knots and distances in feet!).
Additional InformationIt should also be noted that right now, $Length Unit Multiplier does not affect the speed shown in the loadout screen. This seems to be a bug.

Fixed in antipodes branch. Note that, if you use custom speed units, you need to alter entry 743 in strings.tbl to match the unit you wish to use.

Ship Selection screen now lists ships as having '0 MS' under Retail data with the chanegs in missionshipchoice.cpp.






 Setting floats to fl2i when multiplying them to int values is a good idea. Fixed in 6900.
