Oolite Bulletins

[McDjanoff]

Hello,

I am exploring the OXP world and made some tests with.

My problem is to qualify the OXP.
I've read many wiki entries and forums but don't found what I seek. There is an interesting debug.oxp, the logginf capacity of oolite itself, but not so well documented.

I think experienced OXPers have some recipes to verify how their OXP works.

Could you please expose your methods to help me ?

Regards,
B.

Hello,

Thank you for your anwers.

For my first OXP, I follow the tutorial found on the wiki : http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_tutorial and work from ACDK's OXP : illicit unlock.

My goal is to fly with vessels not found on the market or some uniq models based on Griff's works as illicit unlock does, but with a better chance to found them.

So I've made duplicate illicit unlock directory, some haks on shipdata.plist and shipyard.plist and deploy the result in AddOns.
I code the same chance as for Adder, Python or Cobra MKI.

The logs indicate that oolite have took the OXP, but I never see one of my vessel proposed on the market.

I think there is something which don't work properly, and I don't want to spend too many hours in try and test if I can monitor my OXP process by oolite.

Regards,
B.

NB :
In my future projects I would like to have some better radar and hud functions as switching target, better target follow-up, display more informations ans so on ...
I would like also select the container to eject. A lot of small points in fact.

Hello,

I would like this for canister hunting because I am fed up to seek them in the dark .
I've check my aboard computer and I found a ... ZX-81, so I understand better the poor capacities of the tracking system. I must upgrade it.

Regards,
B.

If you're finding it difficult tracking down cargo canisters, try zooming in the scanner when you're at close range (the default key is "z", I think). In the absence of sophisticated onboard automation it makes scooping cans a lot easier!

Hello,

I've succeed to have my first OXP working. I thank every body for the help.
I can now fly with 'illicit vessels' which have no other interest than my curiosity.

During the tests, I've got a weird thing : the change I've made don't take effect at the next reload of the game as there is a persistant layer keeping the old data. I've seek for a cache or similar thing and don't ffind anything.

Is the normal way of working for Oolite app ?

Regards,
B.

Yes, there is a cache. It is refreshed if the immediate contents of the AddOns folder change, but not if OXP contents change. Hold down shift during startup to flush it (or use the always-flush-cache hidden setting).
