Wow! What is that? ... The Tianve Pulsar?

There's a clue in the filename.

I've also posted a small update to Contextual Help, removing a debug message and expanding the readme.txt.

Did you get this one?

09:12:42.038 [ContextualHelp]: Invalid GUI screen code specified: GUI_SCREEN_MARKET_INFO

Should have been GUI_SCREEN_MARKETINFO.

This should be all you need:- https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Shipdata.plist#like_ship https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Shipdata.plist#is_carrier https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Shipdata.plist#port_radius https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Station#breakPattern https:...

I'd thought that it was impossible to "change ship" unless docked... Yup. You define the simplest dockable possible (no market, no shipyard), but using the same model as the player ship, dock the player ship, switch ships to the spacesuit, go to the F3 page which is now full of spacesuit ...

Would it be "Maraussian" or "Marausian", do you think? I'm thinking the latter (based on inhabitants of Belarus are Belarusian), but I'm not sure. It depends on pronunciation. Marausian would have a zs sound, like Asian. Maraussian would be an s (Marau see Ann, or Marau s'y'an),...

Hope that's not an exclusively East Australian thing.

They prefer to be called New Zealand, or Aotearoa. (I disavow Redspear's fighting words, nothing to do with me.)

Have you tried pm-ing Cim? (Switeck or Spara might also be able to help). And AltMap might also be worth a look: Ta, but nah. That was a scenario OXP; cim did what Nite Owl described above, started with a blank-slate trade-goods.plist. I'll have a rifle through Market Observer, though. And see if t...

I thought Italian police cars traditionally had green/white colouring.

But they're Alfa Romeos, not Lamborghinis.

is there a way to enter the F8F8 screen on a particular commodity Not at the moment.* If going directly to GUI_SCREEN_MARKETINFO will always show the commodity with the lowest sort-order, then defining a dummy commodity, "Helpium" :( with the lowest possible sort order, could give me the ...

Reading the three replies above, I don' think people will waste too much time feeling perplexed and bewildered if they see a viper with a slightly different livery. Mix and match till your heart's content. My only thought has been, I don't like the green ones. They remind me of pictures one sees on ...

I think the core code needs three commodities for various internal reasons: slaves, minerals and alloys For escape pods, mining and destroyed ships respectively, right? That sounds legit. But, I don't want to exclude the usual commodities from the game, just from a market. I know I could zero the q...

What is it with swans?

It's a Westralian thing.

OK, Royal Vetititian is in (is it really with 3 t's?) Given Vetitice is a Sector 1 system, and so I've made this liner only appear in sector 1, can people throw some suggestions for one's that would make sense for the other sectors? Along the same lines, I mean. I decided this week that the Prodiga...

Can I, or can't I, define a market that includes new trade-goods, and excludes the trad-trade? Yes, I have in the past, messed about and written a definition for handwavium, and seen it appear on the market screen. But how do I exclude the 17 traditional commodities , so that only my newly defined E...
