circular escort reference in Dictators 1.3

[CommonSenseOTB]

system.economy <= 2 and shipdata conditions less than 3.

[Eric Walch]

Fine, I'll do that. But what script do I need to change to <3. (Sorry, not good with coding and scripts)

In the scripts folder is one file. You need to change line 14 of that file. That is will do the same as the original legacy script. Unless Ramirez changed the appearance frequency intentionally and forgot to change the conditions in shipdata also.

[Svengali]

Eric was faster .-)

And I think you can simply remove the conditions in shipdata for the Astrofactory. The script checks the same things.

[CommonSenseOTB]

Don't forget, astrofactory has the role of station. Removing those shipdata conditions will allow astrofactories to appear as stations in the wrong systems. That is probably why there are conditions here and in a populator script as well.

[Gimi]

I changed dictators.js as recommended, and left shipdata.plist alone. Astrofactory spawns, however not in the dictatorship I was when the errors appeared (tech level 9). Did appear in a neighbouring dictatorship (tech level 8 ).
No errors in the log.

I vaguely remember what I was trying to do here:

Dictatorships with economy number < 4 (i.e. from 0 to 3) get the imperial ships, while those with economy > 3 (that's 4 to 7) get the junta ships. In addition through, the astrofactories I think I set in the upper industrial systems, hence the condition of economy <= 3 that appears in the script. However, this is a typo and it should just be economy < 3, without the equals.

EDIT - I've made a fix and have updated the wiki.

Any chance of making a link or has this oxp been retired ?

Hi barge411, welcome to the boards! If you go to Ramirez's webpage – the link you gave – and click on "Flavours", it'll take you to the download for (amongst others) the Dictators OXP.

Along the top of that page you should see a horizontal menu: "Ships Equipment Flavours Missions Licence". Click on the "Flavours" tab to find Dictators.

Oh, hi there, Disembodied.

And others.

Thanks for pointing that out Wildeblood. An issue may be that my site is using iframes and I understand they don't work too well under Windows 7. I've recently done another website for my band using PHP and once I get a bit of free time I aim to convert the Oolite site to use a similar format.
