Oolite Bulletins

It seemed appropriate to include the code in the actual OXP, so here it is, v0.3, with maintenance emails: MaintenanceTuneUp.oxz . For the really keen, here's what I did: First, the startupComplete event, I added this code: if (worldScripts.GalCopAdminServices) { var ga = worldScripts.GalCopAdminSer...

Could you post a simple (or even not so simple) bit of script that would allow a purchased Maintenance Tune Up to send a Maintenance Email from your Email System OXZ. Do you mean a regular maintenance email, similar to the email that is already sent by the Email System OXZ when you do a maintenance...

Welcome aboard, Taka! It looks like this OXP is currently unmaintained at the moment, and hasn't had an update in quite some time. Some bugs were noted back up the thread, but no one has come along to take up the mantle of maintenance, so the bugs have remained. This isn't an OXP I'm familiar with, ...

Version 0.5.4 has been released. In this version:

• Improved logic for adding ships to a system.
• Fixed invalid reference error when generating missions.
• Better use of new functions available in later versions of Oolite.
• Corrected use of samplePrice method.

The DH Nav Buoy is available on the download manager, if that helps a bit.

OK, version 1.5.6 is now in the download manager, which should address the issue with disappearing phase scans.

Ah, that Zaquessoian evil juice!

Personally, I think the best way into modding is to pick an OXP that does one thing (like an extra piece of equipment or single MFD), open it up and pull it apart to see what it does and how it does it. And then feel free to ask questions!

Welcome to the boards, Christos! You can certainly up the power of the military laser. If you're up for a bit of work in a text editor, if you can find the "equipment.plist" file in the "oolite/oolite.app/Resources/Config" folder, then find the section relating to "EQ_WEAPON_MILITARY_LASER", you sho...

Have you ever had one of those moments where you look at something you wrote and think, "What on Earth was I thinking?" This is one of those moments. So, I found a piece of code in there, headed with a comment like this: // look for and remove all TL1 phase settings If you're thinking, "Why did he i...

Amen to that. A remarkable story about a remarkable young man. Thanks for pointing it out.

Version 0.13 has been released. In this version:

• Made more compatible with OXP's that change the system.concealment property.
• Improvements to ship group generation code.
• Protection for ship name generation process, in case randomshipnames doesn't return a ship name when asked.

Just out of curiosity, mind you, completely academic...

What would a Rock Hermit cost to buy, in general terms. Ignoring any local factors (eg government, economy, etc). Would 1mil CR be too much? Too little? Suggestions?

In the next nightly is the handling of a new plist file: equipment-overrides.plist. This is designed to allow OXP authors to more easily update existing equipment items without needing to copy the entire equipment.plist entry in order to do so. Also, it reduces the potential conflicts where two OXP'...

I'm certainly interested! That looks great!
