Yasen-N Plasma Turrets

[Cholmondely]

1) Is there a ReadMe for this?

The one in the OXZ is for something else!



2) Have just put up a wiki page for it. I know nothing about this OXZ. Can somebody who does please ensure that there are no howlers, and suggest a Smivsianistical Gameplay and Balance Indicator rating.

About this OXP
==============
This OXP provides a way to quickly switch the style of your ship, using whatever OXP player templates you have installed of the same class type. That is, if you are flying a Cobra Mark III, and you have Z_Groovy's Variety Packs installed, you can quickly and easily give your ship a new paint job, without having to mess about in the save game file.

There are a couple of variations for the Cobra Mark III, Cobra Mark I and the Python that come with Oolite by default, but not that many. For this OXP to do something really useful you need to have some extra ship OXP's installed. For instance:
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Griff_Industries
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Staer9%27s_Shipset
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/No_Sha ... nt_Variety
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Deepspace_Ships
You can get a lot of additional shipsets from the download manager inside Oolite.

Once this OXP is installed a menu will appear on the ship outfitting screen, labelled "Ship Respray". When you select this, a new screen will appear, listing all the available resprays for your ship. Select one of these, and you can then see what the respray will look like on your ship. Some ship models use the "entityPersonality" to adjust the look of the ship. You can select a random personality by selecting "Change personality".

Once you have selected a model, and found a personality look-and-feel you like, to go ahead with the paint job select "Purchase this respray" from the menu. The amount of time it will take to do the respray is showing on the menu item, and can be anywhere from 24 to 60 hours, depending on the size of the vessel.

This OXP uses the ShipStorageHelper to update the players ship to the selected model.

This OXP is slightly different to the "Respray for Griffs" OXP by Capt Murphy, as this will work with OXP's other than Griffs, and in no-shader mode.

Version History
===============
1.2.0
- Added overlay background image to initial interface screen.

1.1.3
- Added a missing semi-colon in the manifest file.
- Added routine to use 1.83/4 code to check for big GUI HUD's.

1.1.2
- Fixed shipdata.plist entries for alternate Cobra Mk3's having reduced max speed and thrust.

1.1.1
- Added check for "allo_big_gui" HUD's

1.1.0
- Added menu option to turn on/off view of ship data keys
- Improvements to the auto selection of menu items.

1.0.3
- Removed ship keys from screen interfaces

1.0.2
- Added some extra shipdata.plist and shipyard.plist entries so the player can choose from the built-in variations of the Cobra Mk III, Cobra Mk I, and the Python.
- Fixed a bug where the current page index was not being reset when opening the respray interface.

1.0.1
- For Oolite 1.82 and later, added an "installation_time" of 1 second to the equipment item, so opening the respray screen doesn't take any time.
- For Oolite 1.80, changed the cost of the equipment item to zero, so only 10 minutes of time is taken up when opening the initial page.
- Added a mass-based installation time calculation to the end of the process. So, respraying a Boa takes longer than respraying an Adder.
- The "Purchase this respray" option now also includes the installation time.
- Fixed a bug where doing a respray, buying a new ship and doing another respray could end up with a confused menu.
- Code cleanup

1.0.0
- Initial release

This OXP provides a way for owners of a Yasen-N to install plasma turrets on their ship. It was based on the Ship Respray OXP (and thus the included - but unnecessary - readme file), but it should be limited to only providing turrets for Yasen-N's, while the Ship Respray can be use on any ship with multiple skins.

Beyond this, I can tell you much. I can't access the wiki at the moment (nothing to do with the wiki, a local security issue methinks) so I can't download the file to check, but that's what I remember.

I'm not sure that there is much of value on the wiki - hence the new page!

And, since I believe that you have confessed in previous posts to running ships so equipped, what Smivsianistical Gameplay and Balance Indicator rating would you give to this coruscating contraption?

[phkb]

I’d give it the blue rating - makes the game slightly easier. My personal opinion is that turrets on a ship will generally make combat easier.

Thank you! I have no idea as to whether they make a massive or a minor difference.

I'll bung up the rating on the new page.

If you feel the urge to tinker with it, please do so.
