Might there be point in just reminding the utiliser of your programmable perfecter of planets what the current statistic actually is before he/she starts playing merry havoc with it all? Version 1.2.3 - functionally complete. (Not version 1.3 yet, because it's still scruffy on the inside, and wants...

This micro-oxp uses an alternative method of storing data, which differs from Explorers' Club in two ways:

1. It does not record the order in which you first visit each system;
2. It will tell you how many times you've visited each system.

From my current OXP-to-be Galactic_start (for want of a better name). Galactron: New Beginnings (Omnibus edition of the Galactron Saga, parts 1-8) Use patented Galactron Chart-o-matic technology to begin your journey of interstellar exploration where you want to start, not where you ought to start.

The whitespace: just where is that whitespace? That is, what do the numbers mean in the following?

Code: Select all

Extreanous whitespace on key 'interstellar: 6 251 224 ' 

Right at the end of the string, a tab stop between the 4 and the ".

If you dig around inside SOTL Altmap, there might be other unmentioned goodies in there too. Ya, ones cim made up. :mrgreen: (I have the impression it's little understood that one can store any arbitrary information one wants to in planetinfo/system.info, as an alternative to mission variables. Per...

Thank you, a_c. Moving on to planetinfo.plist, and... https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Planetinfo.plist mentions properties of:- 6.9 Percent Cloud 6.10 Percent Ice 6.11 Percent Land But, Resources/Config/planetinfo.plist contains:- cloud_fraction no mention of ice land_fraction And, I can also see ...

Might there be point in just reminding the utiliser of your programmable perfecter of planets what the current statistic actually is before he/she starts playing merry havoc with it all? It's a glaring oversight, isn't it? Go to a read-only property, e.g. galaxyID and it's there, but for all the pr...

And I've also seen mentions of edited-out Trumbles re-appearing.

This is what it does, nothing else.

I'd suggest your credit balance reverting was a simple case of thought you'd saved after making changes, but actually forgot to save.

This was added to https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_SystemInfo during development of Oolite 1.81: Revision as of 20:36, 4 July 2015 Line 70: === <code>setProperty</code> === {{oolite-method-added|1.81}} function '''setProperty'''( key : String, value: String, layer: Numb...

I then start up a game with "G7 Qutegequ.oolite-save" (to modify the checksum) and then save it, and quit. The name in the save dialogue box is "Jameson - Full game - unhacked". Presumably from the old checksum? I then re-open the OXP and change the old checksum in the relevant ...

Okay, don't freak out, user2357. Take deep breaths, okay.

They're just random gibberish.

Sorry, man.

I've just uploaded version 1.2, which now features "colourful background images". https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/File:World_Builder.oxz (There is also a rudimentary undo function hidden in there somewhere. One would need to edit the script to remove some /* comment delimiters */ .) It s...

So for the time being everything is working as designed.
