Hmmm, doing changes to the cargo space only if there's no cargo in the way does sound like the simplest way to implement this... If the size of the cargo bay is greater than or equal to the space available on the ship, then go right ahead. There doesn't seem to be any ways that that could go wrong.

I'll have a look at it when I get a bit of free time.

Thanks, I'll add your comments though to the discussion page http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Talk:O ... ip_scripts so that they don't get lost.

A good beginning there. But there is a little room for expansion: May I suggest that you expand the contents of the page with more useful information. I'm afraid that I don't know half of what you're talking about there, but if you'd be willing to put together some content about it, I would be capa...

When you press Dump cargo it is also a random item. (Unless you have scooped items on board)

I thought that Dump cargo dumped the last thing that was added, that that before dumping you can cycle through your cargo to select what will get dumped.

Ok, unless there are any objections, I'm going to make the following changes to add / remove equipment: Adding the large cargo bay via script will add extra space, and removing it via script will remove the extra cargo space, as defined by the ships extra cargo space overrides. Same thing will happ...

How do you feel about back-breaking labour-intensive hand-coded conversions instead? I’m in favour of someone else doing them. ;-) I may finish the converter, but for use as an offline tool. In most cases, though, the resulting code would still require a complete rewrite from the “tickle”-based app...

Dangerously inducing temptation

Perspicaciously capable observer

Yellowpages or whitepages?

But they're not significant. They're the product of a pseudorandom seed. If we try too hard to force meaning on the inherently meaningless, we'll only produce something that feels like an obvious kludge. Their generation may be by a pseudo-random seed, however that randomness was initially carefull...

How about add support for a new tag describing aspect ratios and what to do in case of rendering emergency - and have the default assumption "4:3" and "nothing" so that HUDs that don't know about the new stuff continue to behave in the old way? Why should we even have to be awar...

Interleaving character ascenders

I would like to take this opportunity to put my hand forward to perform a scripted conversion of this code from openstep to javascript. There’s a partial implementation of a legacy-to-JavaScript converter, but I’ve decided against transparent conversion. Further details on the reasoning behind that...
