The difference is only the graphics. You only need one. If you don't use shaders, the smaller file is probably the best. Those ships also look well with shaders turned off.

I don't know which ships are in the big download, but I know that griffs ships look bad without shaders. (All very dark)

Unrelated to this OXP (about which Eric has answered), but in F2/Game Options you can select full, simple, or no shaders.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Though there is CaptSolo's Griff's No Shaders Shipset.. perhaps they could be incorporated into a shaderless version of Random Hits.

If they are in your main shipset, they are be used by RH.

I did not want a Seedy Space Bar in every anarchy, so edited the following line in my copy of. oolite-randomHits.js:

Code: Select all

if (system.government === 0 && system.economy === 2)

Something I've been mulling over for a while is a thread dedicated to posting personal tweaks of OXPs, for others who may find them useful.. opinions?

I think I found a bug in RandomHits. I'm running version 1.7 (which I believe is the latest) in Oolite 1.77.1.

I'd just finished a hit in Gal 5, at Divees. I'd docked, unloaded some cargo, picked up some new stuff, then jumped out to Arzaquar. When I arrived in system, there was another ship at the witchpoint beacon who gave me a warning. But the message read:

"Hi there, Baliff Rogers. The word is the associates of [mission_random_hits_revenge_mark_first_name] [mission_random_hits_revenge_mark_second_name] are hunting you. My advice is that you guard your back!"

Have I done something wrong, or is this a bug?

For reference, here's the Random Hits stuff from my save file. I haven't taken another contract yet, although I have docked with a seedy space bar.

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_random_hits_criminal_hate_score</key>

Ok. Good news. It's a minor bug that does not affect anything :) . Bad news, I can't see how that has happened :( .

When you kill your mark, mission_random_hits_revenge_mark_first_name and mission_random_hits_revenge_mark_second_name get written and they are nullified only after you have successfully dealt with revenge. Have you met/dealt with angry relatives earlier in game?

I made quick and simple test, accepted a job, killed the mark, flew to the main station, saved and checked the save file. All fine. Then I jumped to another system and forced a warning hunter to appear and the message was fine. So at least in a simple scenario it seems to work.

I'll do some more tests, but don't hold your breath. Thanks for reporting and keep reporting if/when this happens again.

Edit. And that save file snippet was after the incident? Right?

2nd edit. Trying to narrow things here. Do you remember the type of the mark ship?

3rd edit. I think I found it. Did your mark use the escape pod?

Yes, the save file snippet was after the incident.
It was a mid-level mark.
Yes, the mark used an escape pod.

Thanks, I'm fairly positive it's the escape pod part. I have a strong feeling, it's fixed now. If not, please report. New version of the oxp is up.

Hello fellow bounty hunters, long time. It's been great to get back into Oolite these past few weeks. I even came across an interesting hit, which (sorry to the one 'related') I went ahead and pasted:
