Oolite Bulletins

Norby, can I make a suggestion? In each instance on "mission.runScreen" you add exitScreen:"GUI_SCREEN_INTERFACES", so the user returns to the F4 screen when the exit (which is where they would have started from). At the moment, when you exit you return to the F5 screen. Anyway, ...

Another great catch! Howzat! (For the cricket fans out there)
Thanks again!

Is it possible to intercept messages that appear immediately after you dock? In particular I'm thinking of the messages you see when you've scooped an escape capsule, or the special mission messages (from Constrictor Hunt or Thargoid plans). I'd like to be able to (at least) capture the text from th...

Thanks for that, Marte. I've found the bug and will post an update soon.

Thanks, cim. Wonderful help, as usual!

Is it possible to format the missionText of a mission screen into columns, using (for instance) tab characters? I know I can insert spaces, but missionText is proportionally spaced, isn't it? So using spaces would result in ragged columns.

Dizzy,
The download link doesn't seem to have any of the "6" mass-lock decel versions. And the js32ECMAv5dbg.dll isn't present either. Have I missed something?

Beta version 1.0.12 has been released. New in this version: - Added "Send bribe to closest target" and "Surrender to closest target" messages, for when the player doesn't have a target but is under attack. Thanks for Norby for the suggestions. - Added the $disableMessage , $enabl...

The fastest way is a cycle through ships returned by player.ship.checkScanner(true); Wow, the things you learn! I've gone through all the Wiki docs quite a bit but still hadn't seen that one. Thanks! I should be able to cut down on my use of filteredEntities with that. If I want then I can lock a t...

Got this error in my log after a forced misjump to fight some Thargoids: 14:12:09.724 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (Explorers Club 1.4.3): TypeError: system.sun is null 14:12:09.724 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: C:\Oolite/oolite.app/GNUstep...

Surrender: send to all ships in scanner range due to the player try to stop all of them. Hmm. I'm not totally convinced yet, but I'll have a look at how I can handle the multi-group aspect. I think my AI skills are going to hit their limit here, though. Bribe: give the money to the ship who accept ...

Most help requests are intended for other group members only - the sending is requestHelpFromGroup and only group members receive the helpRequestReceived event. So if I see a "Help me" transmission from a ship, there is no event I can pick up unless the player is part of that ship's group...

V1.0.11 is available via links in the first post. This version fixes the "wideband" issue, I've re-ordered the messages to hopefully put the more relevant ones first. I've removed all of the prefixes, instead making the text of the message clearer as to who it is relevant to. I've fixed a ...

In external access would be nice the short usage like this: worldScripts.BroadcastCommsMFD.$createMessage("spam", "Eat spam!"); Not sure about reducing the call this much. If there's no callback function defined, then wouldn't it be a rather pointless message? Funny maybe, but n...

Thanks for the suggestions, Norby. It's great feedback, and exactly what we needed! feel more natural if the displayed messages are not prefixed in parenthesis but show "Send greeting to target" and simply the message if broadcast. Good ideas. That will probably be how I do the next versio...
