Engine glow count / opt limit hook

UPDATE
Hello,
I've updated the opt limit hook.
I've increased the engine glow count limit per opt. The limit was 16. It is now 255.
When a mesh is hidden, its engine glows are also hidden.

That's brilliant! That should help a lot with something I was working on.
@Master Qui-Gon you might be interested in this too

Holy smokes, this is fantastic!
Any chance you'll be able to increase the number of rotating turrets, too? eh? eh?

That's on my wish list too Vince.
But as RandomS. indicated the RotaryGunTurret type meshes are limited to a fixed array of 16. Each of the 16 meshes can have at most a pair of Laser HPs that alternate in a firing sequence. My other wish is the ability to have more than three different laser/weapon type systems. i.e. 282, 283, 284, 285, 289, 290, 303, 304, 305, 307, & other projectiles.

On windows 7 hook_opt_limit.dll doesn't work.
Crash.
As if the .dll did not load

This is working like it should except in the Tech Globe. You can still see the hidden glows.
In-Flight it is perfect.

OK thank you.
It gives me problems with ddraw 2.0, apparently.

UPDATE
Hello,
I've updated the opt limit hook.
You can now show/hide engine glows based on the ship speed.
Suppose that the craft is "FlightModels\[Model].opt".
To define which engine glows are rendered based on the craft speed, create a file named "FlightModels\[Model]EngineGlows.txt" or create a section named "[EngineGlows]" in "FlightModels\[Model].ini".
The format is a line per engine:
engine index, percent, mglt.
If the percent value is -1 then it is not used.
If the mglt value is -1 then it is not used.
