Equipment “Sell Item” Color

Post by phkb »

A small OXP for v1.85/86, which changes the color all the “Sell” or "Remove"-type equipment items on the F3 Ship Outfitting screen to red to make it clear that the particular item will remove something, rather than add something.

1) as a player, I load up on lots of equipment.oxp's (...not the ships or the weapons). I enjoy the variety and the different uses. I do find this little oxp invaluable for making sense of the F3 ship outfitting pages. Thank you!


2) Can I just ask, if I may, what is involved in changing the name of a published OXP? ie: Equipment Remove Item -> Equipment 'Sell Item'?

In short, how would you recommend others go about it, and what must they not forget to do?

I changed the “title” element of the manifest. But I left the “identifier” the same, so that it will continue to be identified as the same OXP and thus will upgrade successfully.
