Oolite Bulletins

The 'blowUpStation' legacy command seems half-broken in Oolite 1.70 - windows. Depending on how much virtual memory is being used, doing the following: player.call('blowUpStation'); is more and more likely to exit oolite suddenly, and take you back to the desktop. Does the same happen with macs, or ...

If you launch directly from a mission screen, without pressing space, this.missionScreenEnded doesn't fire.

I had which would clear the mission background only if I pressed space.

I did get that impression....

Shame, it would really help to know the lasers equipped, so we can scale the challenge up & down accordingly.

I ended up using the player's score. Unlikely someone manages 60 odd kills with a pulse laser & a toothpick!

Hmmm, I tried to see if I could figure out the type of laser depending on weaponRange but, at least in 1.70 vanilla, it's always0 if you've got military, pulse, and beam lasers installed...

Is that working as intended?

Yep, got it working flawlessly now!

I just want to see if I can make a badder version of the asteroid if you have a military laser & this baby is ready!

Hope it's not Kitt from Knight Rider!!!!

In vanilla 1.70 I've tried the following in js if (player.hasEquipment('EQ_WEAPON_MILITARY_LASER')) { //ooh nice! .... } but it returns false whether I've got the military laser or not. I looked at the wiki, and the twin plasma lasers are are the only lasers that can be tested for. Is there a way in...

Aha! I was calling blowUpStation from inside the AI (the death_actions in 1.70 are overridden when you attach a script to a ship) On the plus side I've now got a very complex way of making 'a' station explode, on the minus side it's very complex. I'll see what I can do with sendScriptMessage! Cheers...

This is mad slightly annoying. blowUpStation doesn't seem to work either. is there a way to call a javascript function from within an AI script?

I found out what was happening: All the global variables/objects get dereferenced from within the ship script after a kill & reload from save, as per what happened to Littlebear with re-spawning in here As he says, the first time round everything works ok, then player, system missionVariables, etc g...

...but if you change roles the aegis is not going to show up anymore.... or is there a way around that?

Nice!

<drops jaw>

And it's so... vast... !

Almost a whole new game just by itself.... wow!

I see I've still got 'a few' things to learn, sensei.

Hmmm, nope, that station doesn't want to die... The change must have happened some time ago, because I tried 1.68 just now, and the station didn't die there either... After banging my head against this problem for a while, I finally figured out something that works! @LB: I need to run some more test...

yes, 1.70 vanilla. I'm trying to get a simple script to run for people who've downloaded 1.70-test I haven't actually tested the last svn, but I'm pretty sure that this problem won't be there. (will test & let you know) Before I forget, it looks like Log & LogWithClass don't actually do anything fro...

First of all, I've discovered that if you put script = "myShipScript.js" inside shipdata.plist, the old style scripting - like death_actions - will not be used by that ship. Quite puzzling for a while until I figured that out. I've now got two questions: - is there a list of all js events that apply...
