i have never seen a parm or an indicator or a field that corresponds to the in-game hull damage.
if i was to make a SWAG, it would be to say that the hull damage is a calculated field within each mission/patrol. its calculation is hard-coded and its storage is in one of the in-mission binary files stored in the save folder.
but that it only a SWAG.

Look in file menu_1024_768.ini

[G3E I24]
Name=Hull damage
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3E0A0000
ParentID=0x3E000000
Pos=41,-95,150,21
;Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 100 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

Yes. What do you change there to make the hull damage indicator disappear or at least not show the damage?

Wanna say, I think a semi colon ( ; ) would do it... but, as for the proper placement, as to where to place it, for it to kick in as a.... circuit breaker... not sure...

But... that's a SWAG, so take it with a heaping, cargo ships load of salt...

Original:
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0


any line is all working:
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 100 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 2 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 -0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 0
Zone= 41 673 150 21 0 1 0x3E080000 0.5 0 0x3E0A0000 -0.5 0 0 200

When mazzi posts, people should listen...

Seriously though, 25 posts, and each one a gem. Good to see you here again mazzi! I must thank you again for all your help with FotRSU! You are a true gentleman.

what do the relative character positions control?
in computer science we would ask for a data map of the Zone parameter but that is techno-geek talk:

what does Zone mean? how many zones are there?
41 673 150 21 0 1 seem to be consistent in all of the examples. what does it control/mean?
etc
etc
etc

zAmboni's Tutorial: Deconstructing the menu ini

It gets to be a slightly difficult concept to explain... lol - Position is in relation to the screen, and Zone is in relation to the Position... I think... but what mazzi is saying it to just have it display out-of-site, out-of-mind...
