 :''Unsolved as of 06:39, 22 October 2008 (CEST). Needs a trimmed list of necessary PC vars matched with disposable Mac vars.
 Since sc_bind_f2 and sc_bind_f3 won't work, the OTA needs to be rewritten whatever we do. Probably waiting for special anims should be replaced with waiting for hotkeyed variables like fast_mode (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+F), draw_every_frame (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+G), or gs_show_performance (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+Y). If this is done in the randomizer loop, there will actually be fewer contexts pushed than in the current version. There will also be no counterintuitive keypress sequences (F9,F2,F10), no spurious FILM files and no risk of buffer overflow. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 06:39, 22 October 2008 (CEST)

-That's 8 more disposable ones and 8 less disposable ones. Some of those, however, are not in the common tables and can not be disposed of.
+That's 16, but the last 6 can't be used (marketing_line_off is used and the other 5 are "registered elsewhere"). So, 10.
+All in all, we apparently have a maximum of 35 disposable variables, and a total of 31 on the wishlist. My suggestion:
+:If li_center_cursor works, leave these 4: ai2_spacing_cookies, ai2_spacing_enable, ai2_spacing_weights, ai2_barabbas_run.
+:If li_center_cursor doesn't work, leave these 5: ai2_melee_weightcorrection, ai2_spacing_cookies, ai2_spacing_enable, ai2_spacing_weights, ai2_barabbas_run.
+Convert all the others "en masse" (there will be large contiguous blocks in the table, and in the name/description pool as well). Also,
+The 3 blocks are as follows:
+#ai2_showpaths
+#ai2_showgrids
+#ai2_showdynamicgrids
+#ai2_showpathfindingerrors
+#ai2_showconnections
+#ai2_showactivationpaths
+#ai2_showastar
+#ai2_showcombatranges
+#ai2_showvision
+#ai2_showprediction
+#ai2_showtargeting
+#ai2_showlasers
+#ai2_showlos
+#ai2_showprojectiles
+#ai2_showfiringspreads
+#ai2_showlocalmelee
+#ai2_showfights
+#ai2_shownames
+#ai2_showhealth
+#ai2_showjoblocations
+#ai2_showlinetochar
+#ai2_showsounds
+#ai2_printspawn
+#ai2_blind
+#ai2_deaf
+#KEEP DEFINITELY
+#ai2_chump_stop
+#ai2_stopignoring_count
+#ai2_stopignoring_time
+#ai2_melee_weightcorrection (keep if no extras and li_center_cursor doesn't work)
+#ai2_spacing_enable (keep if no extras)
+#ai2_spacing_cookies (keep if no extras)
+#ai2_spacing_weights (keep if no extras)
+#ai2_barabbas_run (keep if no extras)
+#KEEP DEFINITELY
+#ai2_showintersections
+#ai2_debug_localmovement
+#ai2_debug_localpathfinding
+#ai2_debug_showsettingIDs
+And our wishlist is like this:
+#co_display
+#fast_mode
+#draw_every_frame
+#show_performance
+#li_center_cursor
+#chr_pin_character
+#cm_distance
+#cm_height
+#cm_canter_weapon
+#cm_canter_unarmed
+#wp_scale_adjustment
+#chr_aim_width
+#chr_auto_aim_arc
+#chr_auto_aim_dist
+#chr_block_angle
+#chr_disable_melee
+#chr_weapon_auto_aim
+#chr_all_active
+#chr_disable_visactive
+#chr_draw_all_characters
+#chr_lod
+#door_ignore_locks
+#gs_input_accel
+#gs_show_corpses
+#single_step
+#chr_big_head_amount
+#chr_mini_me
+#chr_mini_me_amount
+#wp_kickable
+#fx_laser_width
+#m3_fill_solid
+#m3_shade_vertex
+#gs_show_environment
+, to which we can add 4 or 5 extras like draw_every_frame_multiple, gs_screen_shot_reduce...
+:My impression is that there's plenty of space to accomodate all that. So let's do it.
