Hi all, The wildfire module is now back at its normal location: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/misc/WildFire/ The work has progressed, but mostly on internals - it is now possible to enable/disable the wildfire module at run time (this allows MP players to resynchronize the "shared" fire state by reverting the wildfire CA to the initial state without restarting) and it is possible to save the log of fire events for later recreation of the current fire state. If the properties /sim/wildfire/save-on-exit and /sim/wildfire/restore-on-startup are both true (1) the fire state is persistent, subject to some constraints, like e.g. fires on terrain that hasn't been loaded cannot spread (and will die). Also note that the time needed to recreate the state on startup is proportional to the time span covered by the log. (There is no history "compaction" yet.) I'll add saving/loading of the CA state later, which will provide persistence at a lower (computational) cost. For now it is probably better to only save particularly interesting event logs. :) Calling the Nasal function wild_fire.CAFire.save_event_log("file name"); (e.g. from the Nasal debug console) does that. The file is stored in ~/.fgfs/Wildfire/ .
