v2.11 makes no difference. NaN still displayed at Digebiti.

You've added a new type of surface landing point, I think. An Estate? Can you send me the shipdata entry for this so I can get close to your setup?

In my head, I'm imagining OXP authors (attempting to observe due-diligence) having to grep the file-lists of ALL the available other OXP's in an expanding Ooniverse in order to avoid filename clashes. (explosion.png, texture.png, should-I-prefix-all-filenames-with-a-UUID-to-avoid-mayhem.png) Yes. O...

In what circumstances would the autopilot take over piloting? The obvious target would be sunskimming. Oh, wait! There's an OXP for that: AutoSkim.oxz (Full disclosure: This OXP hasn't been fully tested, which is why I haven't published it to the DM). It could be useful as a template for other acti...

It *is* in the OXP manager, though.

The problem is not understanding Java script - I utterly fail to understand any of what goes on. I had a look (3 years ago) in the innards of what is now "Equipment 'Sell Item' Color" OXP to add in a couple of items which then were not reddened by it, and could not understand any of what ...

Apologies for the late reply - I'm catching up of a few older posts. In reality, it's 11 OXPs in one, each having a different effect on NPCs, and the player selects which of those game-play alterations he wants by "transmitting a message". (Is this a fair comment, phkb, or am I over-simpli...

Auto-pause bash script, using Oolite Starter MQTT. This is crude and doesn't bother to check that Oolite has actually paused, but works for me. It should suffice for letting the ship skim fuel in deep space while the commander answers the call of nature. I put it in a fille, chmod +x it, then when ...

One difficulty you would need to overcome in a trader-sim operating as described is, once the player says "stop", how to return the player to the point where they started. If you've actually moved the player via script and docked them at a new station, it would be a lot of work to return t...

I've always thought that powering down in an asteroid field could be a valid tactic in some scenarios. I think I even asked a question about it a long time ago.

There's some core equipment that provide some of this: 1. The Cloaking Device, which renders the player (almost) invisible on the view screen and scanner. 2. The "Military Anti-Scanner Countermeasures (MASC'M)", otherwise known as the Military Jammer (EQ_MILITARY_JAMMER). I think the GalTe...

I'm still having fun with screen backgrounds, and my next question is, can I switch off the rotating planet model on the F7 screen? Not easily. I experimented with forcing the system to be a nova system (just temporarily), which would then allow you to manipulate the "system_data_nova" sc...

Just posted a new version (2.11) that *might* fix this issue. Can you test this new version and let me know is the error persists?

New version of Planetfall 2 (v2.10) now available, which fixes a few bugs. Should be in the download manager shortly.

Here's my analysis so far: Autocrosshairs starts a FCB (Frame Callback) whenever the player acquires a target, and stops it if the players loses a target. When a target is acquired, it also grabs a copy of various HUD settings (reticleTargetSensitive, scannerNonLinear and scannerUltraZoom). Then, if...

Can I call that without harming anything?

Absolutely!
