'AsteroidRemover'

Post by UK_Eliter »

Is anyone maintaining the AsteroidRemover OXP, hosted here on BitBucket?

I ask because I think it needs a slight change. The in-game manager bills the expansion pack thusly: 'Moves static asteroids on a really random position'. That text does not make sense. More: if we take the intended meaning as 'Randomises the position of asteroids' then that description seems to conflict with the description given on the BitBucket page, which is: 'Remove blasted asteroids between save games.' I do not know which of the functions the OXP actually performs (though I do have the OXP loaded).

I suppose I could investigate and, if necessary, clone the BitBucket repository and either release my own version (if licensing allows) or submit a pull-request to make whatever change turns out to be necessary?

The bitbucket project is indeed removing destroyed asteroids. It records in your saved game which asteroids were zapped. It is not moving them.

In the in-game expansion manager, "asteroid remover" is listed and has the description 'Remove blasted asteroids between save games'.

There is also a mod in the expansion manager named "asteroid randomizer" that has the other description you quoted. It is a different OXP.

Ah. I must have got confused. Thanks for the clarification.
