Oolite Bulletins

While trying to draft a usage guide for my ShieldCycler i realised its design is way to complicated. Over time it also deviated a lot from my original intent to port xwing shield energy control to oolite. To make manual control of shield energy possible I'd need 2 keys/buttons : - key1 mode switch (...

Wiki on playerBoughtNewShip Note: In a future release of Oolite, playerBoughtNewShip will no longer be fired when the ship is replaced using player.replaceShip(). Instead, the playerReplacedShip event should be used. At the moment, both events (playerBoughtNewShip and playerReplacedShip) will fire ...

Yep, good idea. I've (re-)tested Dragon M, Wolf MKII and FDL 3G+(t) . Dragon M is very stable platform, great for a sniper but not very good at dogfighting Wolf MKII is a great dogfighter but hard against large groups (6+ ) FDL 3G+(t) with one less energy bank is still tough, but more balanced now. ...

Caught red-handed (very probably). Are those var assignments inside functions, or just at the top-level of the script?

ferdelance3G_antiSweeper.js, ferdelance3G_conditions.js and ferdelance3G_hunter.js have var assignments in body/top-level of the script.

In Latest.log I noticed this 01:13:38.615 [WARNING]: Warning! Global namespace polluted by: 01:13:38.615 [WARNING]: ["consoleDebugMessages"] Searching showed that FDL 3G is the only oxp that uses consoleDebugMessages . 3 scripts in it have var consoleDebugMessages = false , one has _this.c...

In ShieldCycler 2.1 I found this (by dybal) : this.playerBoughtNewShip = this.playerReplacedShip = function _sc_playerReplacedShip(ship) {// player ship only var wsc = worldScripts["Shield Cycler"]; this.ship = player.ship; // sell shieldcycler equipment if still present and reset settings...

Understood, If this ever gets released it will not have such things in it.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/227 ... gb-profile gives some details

ferdelance3G_antiSweeper.js this.$_detonate = function() { if (this.ship.target && this.ship.target.isThargoid) { this.ship.dealEnergyDamage(660, 35, 0.1); } else { this.ship.dealEnergyDamage(300, 35, 0.15); } this.ship.explode(); }; So it seems it works against everything, but is stronger a...

Version 6.651
The sweeper missile appears twice in the F3 equipment list.

Does it only work against thargoids ?

Do you need to bother verifying first, if it's just for your own testing? Does addShipToShipyard fail quietly, or cause an exception and halt the script? It fails silently and you have to check log to find out why it failed. Also I try to keep ship oxps to a minimum so move them in/out frequently. ...

I've been testing several ships lately from a normal and got tired searching where they were fore sale to start the testing . Inspired by https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Lave_Initial_Shipyard I started my own version . "use strict"; this.name = "LaveCustomStart"; this.author = ...

Thx, that works as temp solution.

Wiki mentions  Logcontrol.plist can be used to select which messages are logged.

I currently get [oxp-standards.error] & [oxp-standards.deprecated] messages, how can I suppress them ?

Thanks for the response. The PCC is not bad, but suffers from low rechargerate and lack of mil. shields . BCC does allow mil. shields but is slower and has worse rechargerate then pcc. Both probably need escorts. I've tested the FDL 3G with turrets and although I don't consider it an uber ship, it d...
