How do I? .... (on Debug Console)

[Cholmondely]

Summary of the gubbins beneath:

Awarding self another ship

player.replaceShip("lightspeeder-player")

Note for oxp ships: you need the ship .oxp to be loaded (FdL Lightspeeder) and it needs a "player" version to exist inside that .oxp!


Awarding self more dosh:

P.credits = 1000;


Awarding self equipment:

PS.awardEquipment("EQ_FUEL_INJECTION")
PS.awardEquipment("EQ_ADVANCED_COMPASS")


Awarding self a full tank of fuel:

PS.fuel = 7


Reduce energy right down (ie to simulate being attacked):

player.ship.energy=1


Immediate docking at main station

S.mainStation.dockPlayer()


Make the main station explode

system.mainStation.explode() (see link - interesting if you are docked at the time!)


Jumping to another system while docked inside a dockable ship:

1. Start Oolite.
2. Travel a little away from the planet.
3. Spawn a carrier, like a Behemoth, close to your ship.
4. Dock with it.
5. Type in the debug console:

   Code: Select all

   PS.dockedStation.exitSystem(insert number of an adjacent system here).

6. Launch.
7. ???
8. Profit.

*For a list of the technical definitions of equipment, ships etc, see Hiran's databases: Index of artefacts & https://app.box.com/s/e2yqje0xyj2a0brixd4t7a4ncb0zwqun

*Wiki debug console page


*Communication with other players - this is what Hiran has been using for his Oolite Communicator (MultiPlayer Proof Of Concept: Oolite Communicator & Brainstorming for a MultiUser OXP)

Note that some of this can be done by oxp without using the debug console: Long Range Scanner will allow you (1) to jump to whatever ship/station you like inside the current system & (2) allow you to leap around your current galaxy, jumping as many jumps as you like without using up any fuel.

Trying to get screen shots of Redspear's FdL Lightspeeder, and see what the various screens say about its capabilities.

*How in console to I change the system I am in? Move myself to Ceesxe for example?
*How in console do I award myself a FdL Lightspeeder?


Is there anywhere that I could have looked and found this information?

How in console do I award myself a FdL Lightspeeder?

The debug console can't change your ship. What you can do is show a test of a particular ship by entering this command:

Code: Select all

:test [ship_data_key]

And the colon at the start is important.
That will bring up that version of the ship and set it spinning.

To award yourself a particular ship you would have to edit your save file and change the ship data key in it to whatever ship you want to have. Be careful though. Make sure you take a backup of the save file before you play around.

How in console to I change the system I am in? Move myself to Ceesxe for example?

Again, not something the debug console can do for you. However, what I tend to do if I need to get somewhere in a hurry is:
1. Launch and set my destination.
2. Initiate a jump.
3. On arrival in the system, enter this command into the console: PS.fuel = 7
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until you're in the target system
5. Enter this command into the console: S.mainStation.dockPlayer()

If you're going to edit your save-file anyway, what I do if I need to get somewhere fast for testing purposes is give myself oodles of fuel.
Then it's multiple jumps without needing to refuel 'til you get to the system you want, and injectors all the way in-system.

For simple screenshots and basic information you can use Gallary OXP.

*How in console do I award myself a FdL Lightspeeder?

In normal game you can use a simple script:


this.shipDockedWithStation = function(station)
{
player.replaceShip("GalTech_colonial_viper_mark_I_player");
}


I am using this trick to test-fly all player ships before publishing.

[Cody]

Colonial Viper, eh? The local Viper jocks didn't take too kindly to me flying one on their patch!

Try my restore next time, a double front laser gives you some advantage.

{
player.replaceShip("GalTech_colonial_viper_mark_I_player");
}


player.replaceShip("<use shipdata.plist key here>") will also work from the debug comsole, as long as you are docked and the replacement ship has a player role attached to it.

[montana05]

player.replaceShip("<use shipdata.plist key here>") will also work from the debug comsole, as long as you are docked and the replacement ship has a player role attached to it.

Thank you, I didn't know that this is possible.

I still don't know that it's possible.

Tried the following:
1)
> player.replaceShip("lightspeeder-player")

which elicited this response:
Exception: SyntaxError: syntax error
Active script: oolite-debug-console 1.90
oolite-debug-console.js, line 844:
}

2)
> > player.replaceShip("lightspeeder-player")

Exception: SyntaxError: syntax error
Active script: oolite-debug-console 1.90
oolite-debug-console.js, line 844:
}

3)
> > player.replaceShip("<Ship Fer-de-Lance Lightspeeder>")

Exception: SyntaxError: syntax error
Active script: oolite-debug-console 1.90
oolite-debug-console.js, line 844:
}

4)
> player.replaceShip("< lightspeeder-player>")
false

5)
> > player.replaceShip("<
Ship Fer-de-Lance Lightspeeder>")
Exception: SyntaxError: syntax error
Active script: oolite-debug-console 1.90
oolite-debug-console.js, line 844:

The formula looks jolly impressive. I just wish I knew what I was supposed to do with it!

That's very strange. I copied the command you entered (ie. player.replaceShip("lightspeeder-player")) into my debug console and it swapped the player ship just fine.

Can I suggest you re-download the Debug OXP and replace your current one? That might eliminate some possibilities, anyway.

Thanks. Tried it again, and this time without the ">" ... it finally worked! I can't pretend to understand what the ">" signs are supposed to do or mean, but they obviously possess some sort of syntactical importance!

[phkb]

The ">" symbol is simply a marker, inserted by the console, to indicate what was user input, making it stand out from the rest of the output.

Thanking you, Sir!

[phkb]

You'll also find the symbol in general use in IT, especially whenever a command prompt is being referenced. It indicates "this is what you type in". A hold-over from pre-GUI days when everything was done through a command line.
