Oolite Bulletins

Please note, the question of essential/recommended packages has been circulating the board for a very long time and the answer is always the same, there are no essential/recommended packages. Hence, green is for essential packages, since the color is not in use.

Green is for essential packages

I'm so out of touch :roll: ship.hasRole === "blackmonk_monastery" is the part that's wrong. It should be something like ship.hasRole("blackmonk_monastery") . Try this: this.shipSpawned = function(ship) { if(ship.hasRole("blackmonk_monastery")) this.ship.displayName = this.ship.name+""+monkpool[syste...

If I understand you correctly, ship.hasRole === "blackmonk_monastery" returns true. To my understanding that means that "ship" handler points to the correct object and when querying that object with "hasRole", it returns the correct string for comparison. Just to make sure, does this one also fail: ...

I might be totally off here. but have you tried using ship.displayName instead of this.ship.displayName?

It's been a while since TL99 was used, but if my memory serves me correct, it was basically used to hide equipment from the shop. That equipment could then be awarded via other means as a part of a mission or something. To my understanding the current method for managing this kind of stuff is by usi...

Yes indeed - there are so, so many contingencies to deal with here

To remain sane and keep the project alive, I strongly suggest dealing with the core game first and then gradually start adding compatibility with the numerous OXPs out there.

Javisst. You're slowly converging to Market Observer . If you need those values, you need to keep track and store them yourself. That data is basically of no value to the core game, so that most likely the reason they are not stored.

Use playership.manifest.list , that's an array (read-only!) of objects OK. And if we could just confirm once and for all time that there is no way of retrieving the buy-prices of the items stored in this manifest, short of logging them in a saved game? How could there be? Those are the items stored...

You need to check for the existencen of the assosiated world script. Check the name of the script from the oxp in question. You should find a simple example of such check from for example Wanted Posters oxp (or whatever it was called ).

What a_c says . Check the change in credits between entering and leaving the market screen. That's a start at least.

How about just looking at the balance when entering the market and leaving the market?

Not sure I'm quite with you... You mean there are event handlers for entering and leaving the market?

There is an event handler for UI screen change with to and from information.

...is getting a bit off topic btw. Maybe you should make a thread for this? Would do if I knew how (phpBB-wise) - ie. moving the pertinent posts there with it too... Perhaps someone more familiar with the ins-and-outs could oblige? Just start a new thread and ask another_commander to move the previ...

The mark is always spawned between the witchspace beacon and main station. When you enter the target system, set your course straight to the main station and you should meet your mark on the way. Unless something derails them from the route or something.

Yup. The saving part is probably the most notable wrinkle. Buy something expensive, save, load and sell to boost your rating. You probably need to save at least the units bought and the price payed. This is getting a bit off topic btw. Maybe you should make a thread for this?
