Oolite Bulletins

phkb: thanks for the reply. Now . . > What I did notice is that the older plist AI methods have some messages you can respond to: AEGIS_CLOSE_TO_MAIN_PLANET, CLOSE_TO_PLANET, CLOSE_TO_MOON, and CLOSE_TO_SECONDARY_PLANET. I'm not sure if equivalent functions exist in the newer PriorityAI. I am using ...

Dear all I'm updating Thargoid's HiredGuns OXP (with his permission). One thing that needs changing is the tendency of the escorts (the 'hired guns') to crash into planetary bodies. Now, I am having trouble determining how close they are to such bodies. True, there are various messages Oolite gives ...

OK, thanks!

Thanks, pkhb. Although, the F5F5 Manifest page, where I list all the pilot names of any scooped escape pods, will show "A desperate stray, who contributes a small reward (Clean)", which is at least grammatically correct, even if it telegraphs what is going to happen a little [. . .] Do you mean that...

Dear phkb Good stuff. Now: need interstellarTweaks have such a shipdata file? For, that OXP of mine specifies pilots for escape pods, in order (principally) to change the reward messages at stations. However, I do not use scripts as such (and instead use only a characters.plist file). I do not know ...

Thanks phkb. It would be nice not even to see the message, though. Failing that, perhaps the message could tag itself 'Notice' or somesuch - so that one does not think it is the report of an error.

It's the planet Bisoaton, in galaxy 5. https://i.postimg.cc/jST5RQC6/plasma.png I knew something had to explain the weird wallpaper featured in that Plasma release . . I don't think I have entirely captured the resemblance, but I think you will get the idea. https://i.postimg.cc/TPY3DdVp/plasma2.png...

Comrades,

I'm getting this in the log, fairly regularly (though just how regularly, I have not checked):

[commies.populator]: OOPS! No com liners spawned (1)

I have Commies 2.16 and Oolite 1.88.

It's easy to make small mistakes. (Witness my post and its 'let in'!)

Hey phkb,

There seems to be some debug info left in EscapePodTweaks:
Unless I myself enabled some debugging by accident. But, ah, the version is 0.7 . .

EDITED: a typo.

A sight seldom seen. Indeed almost an 'easter-egg'. It's a painting - or, er, something - on a back wall of a salvage gang! The person who made this did a nice job!

I've this in my log: 16:24:13.741 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (TrafficControl 1.1): TypeError: system.mainStation is null I think the problem is that in interstellar space there is no main station, though one can be docked in various carriers. The OXP is ...

Nice. I like the idea of the glossy wrecks, in particular. I'll have to see whether my Interstellar Tweaks OXP - which as some wrecks in it - uses that or can use that.

EDIT: Yep. I can use your shipdata - if I may - to allow some of my interstellar hulks to use your paintjobs.

Thanks for trying to help, another_commander. What you wrote will be of use to those better at this colour malarkey than I. I tried and .. created something green that glowed brown. I had not realised glowing brown was a possible visual sensation, but it turns out that it is. I restored the OXP from...

The missile [. . .] does not track the cloaked ship anymore until [. .] it decloaks [. .].

Ah . . So only a temporary reprieve!
