SEEREF.DOC -- SEE command listing (alphabetical)
==========
- commands with * cause execution of enhancement
- commands without* just set parameters
- only parameters set before the execution command
will be applied
Command: ALL
Effect: same as FIND, ALL
*Command: ATIS
Example: atis.dat
Effect: enters the currently set atis information into the
output scenery file for the specified frequency at the
currently set range with the source at the currently
set coordinates
Comments: includes weather, rwy recommendation
Requires: FREQ, specification of origin, MSG1-3, ID, RWY**
Optional: RANGE
*Command: BUILDING
Example: coloring.dat
Effect: applies dusk/night colors to selected buildings
Requires: FIND
Optional: FILTER
Command: CENTER
Example:
Effect: sets coordinates to scenery center
Comments: scenery center is the default on start up
Command: COLOR, {day-color}, {dusk-color}, {night-color}
Example: coloring.dat
Effect: specifies day, dusk, and night colors to be applied
Comments: does not apply when the find criterion locates ele-
ments of different colors.
Used by: poly, river, road, line, taxi
*Command: COM
Example: com.dat
Effect: enters the currently set message information into the
output scenery file for the specified frequency at the
currently set range with the source at the currently
set coordinates
Comments: no weather, messages only
Requires: FREQ, specification of origin, MSG1
Optional: MSG2, MSG3, RANGE
Command: CUSTOM, {which}, {value}
Example:
Effect: the effect is dependent on the scenery element and will be
fully documented in each library.
Comments: frequently used for colors
Used by: library
Command: DAYOFF
Example: ezc.dat, lights.dat
Effect: no day display
Used by: TAXI
Command: DAYLINE
Example:
Effect: day display shows a line
Used by: TAXI
*Command: DELETE
Example:
Alt: DEL
Effect: removes specified element; element
is specified by FIND, EXACT command
Comments: syntax of SEE02 may also be used
Requires: FIND, EXACT
Command: DELPROMPT
Example:
Effect: enables prompt asking if you really want
to delete something
*Command: DIR
Example: most dats
Effect: reads directory list in macro file "DIR.MAC"
(equivalent to MACRO, DIR)
Comments: DIR.MAC must be in the same directory as
SEE03.EXE and must contain INDIR, OUTDIR,
and LIBDIR specifications reflecting your
directory set-up
Command: DOTS, (value)
Example: lights.dat
Effect: sets value for spacing between lights
Comments: this is a relative value: the larger the value the
larger the space between dots; from 2 to 10000;
large values reduce frame rate demand
Command: EAST, {desired east FS coordinate}
Example: library.dat
Effect: sets the east coordinate (in FS units)
Comments: default on startup is east center.
Used by: library, relative, atis, com, vor, ndb
Command: END
Example: all DATs
Effect: tells SEE to stop reading instructions
Comments: Must be present in command list. No instructions
beyond this will be executed. You may have notes
following the end command to help document
your command list.
Command: EXACT, {object-type}, {element}
Effect: same as FIND, EXACT
*Command: EXPORT, (filename)
Example: magnify.dat
Effect: saves specified element to named file; element
is specified by FIND, EXACT command
Comments: You are responsible not to overwrite anything valuable;
syntax of SEE02 may also be used
Requires: FIND, EXACT
Command: FILTER, {color-code)
Example: ezc.dat
Effect: SEE is smart enough to avoid adding night colors to
buildings that are already dark in order to save on
filesize; by adding filter colors you are telling
SEE that if it encounters a building exclusively
made with these colors not to bother adding night
coloring; black (0) is always a filter color
Used by: BUILDING
Command: FIND, {criterion}, {value}
Command: FIND, ALL
Command: FIND, EXACT, {object-type}, {element}
Example: coloring.dat; lights.dat;
Effect: tells SEE what elements to look for; typical crit-
eria are:
number (which specific polygon, line or river)
color (all elements of this color value)
range (all elements whose range > value (FS units))
height (all elements whose height > value (ft))
Command: FREQ, {com-frequency}
Example: com.dat; atis.dat; library.dat
Effect: sets an FS radio frequency
Comments: must be a valid FS frequency
Used by: atis, com, guils
Command: FSNORTH, {heading}
Example: library.dat
Effect: sets the local magnetic heading indicated when aircraft
is aligned with true FS north (yeah, I know what you're
thinking, but some things really are complicated). An
easy way to align your craft with local FS north is to
lay down a fuel pit using ASD and use map view to align
the "F" vertically on the screen. Then read the gyro;
the indicated heading is the heading you use for FSnorth.
An alternate method to reading FS north is to go into
slew and hit ALT, then use 5,A to read the heading.
Comments: if you always use GATE or REPLACE, GATE for locating
and inserting library objects then FSNORTH is not
required; default on startup is 0 deg
Used by: heading, relative
Command: GATE, {color-code}
Alt: see REPLACE
Example: library.dat
Effect: sets heading and coordinates of gate whose front
color matches that specified; gate is deleted
Comments: If no matching gate is found heading and
coordinates are unchanged from previous
Command: GUILS, {ILS frequency}
Alt: POINT, see REPLACE
Example: library.dat
Effect: sets heading and coordinates of ILS whose frequency
matches that specified; ILS is deleted
Comments: If no matching ILS is found heading and
coordinates are unchanged from previous
*Command: HAZARD
Example: EZC.DAT
Effect: adds night strobe to top(s) of specified building(s)
Comments: use FIND to specify building(s)
Requires: FIND
Command: HEADING, {angle}
Example: library.dat
Effect: sets the heading value (in degrees)
Comments: default is 0 degrees. A negative heading is taken to
mean "reciprocal of". The heading value reverts back
to default after each use.
