I've mentioned these a few times on the board before - a small set of build scripts to make it easier to package and test OXPs/OXZs. Features include:
No need to shift-restart during development, so you can get quicker from-cache startup the rest of the time.
Update the version in one place, have it propagate everywhere else. This is less useful now that the version in manifest.plist can automatically fill in the version in JS files, but it's still useful.
Provides a common JS script header.
Automatically builds well-packaged OXPs and OXZs.
Automatic (once configured) running of the OXP verifier on every build
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
A quick update on these scripts - I use them to run the OXP verifier on every build (and have recently got sufficiently frustrated with the things it doesn't pick up in 1.80 to make it a bit more useful in 1.81). I've updated the git repo with some hints and documentation on how to get that working for your OXPs.
