Release: Harder Hermits

[UK_Eliter]

hiran,

There is a thread about the OXP.

If you could give me a hint or two on how to detect which hermits your OXP will take control over, then I can adjust my OXP to leave those hermits alone.

station.hasRole(“hermitage”)

[...] if the RH is a player-owned hermitage, then [...]

Player-owned rock hermitages? That sounds interesting.
Why would a player own a hermitage? So far I thought Oolite is all about flying a ship...

Why fly a ship when you can fly a rock instead?

phkb:

Thanks. But: hmm. Does anything that has the role 'hermitage' ever have a primaryRole that is one of the following?

- rockhermit
- rockhermit-chaotic
- rockhermit-pirate

If not, then I think my OXP will touch no hermitages. For, I use the following functions to determine which hermits I consider modifying. (The comments within these functions are somewhat new. The actual code is in the published version of my OXP.)

Code: Select all

/*
================
ENTITY PICKER(S)
================

The following roles are from Oolite itself:

	rockhermit
	rockhermit-chaotic
	rock-hermit-pirate

The following role is from SpicyHermits:

	spicy_hermits_abandoned
*/


this.$isHermit = function ( e )
{
	return e.isShip && ( e.primaryRole === "rockhermit" || e.primaryRole === "rockhermit-chaotic" || e.primaryRole === "rockhermit-pirate" );
};

this.$isHermit_abandoned = function ( e )
{
	return e.isShip && e.primaryRole === "asteroid" && e.name === "Abandoned Rock Hermit";
	// SpicyHermits makes a hermit abandoned by changing its role to 'asteroid' and its name to 'Abandoned Rock Hermit'.
};

this.$isHermit_abandonedQuasi = function ( e )
{
	return e.isShip && e.primaryRole === "spicy_hermits_abandoned" && e.hasRole ( "harderHermits_abandonedQuasi" );
};

Apologies if I overlook anything or make a mistake.

Yes. A hermitage will still have the same primary role. It will just have this additional role.

Does that mean the rock is operated just like a ship?

Hmmm. How do you dock? How do you refuel? Or is the solution just the same as with the Imperial Star Destroyer I started with?
Where, per design a shuttle should take care of station contact but took ages to get in. And finally I just took advantage of the star destroyer's shape and carefully pushed it into the docking bay - it would reach far enough to initiate the docking sequence...

And of course I'd be interested in the planetfall as well.

The Hermitage is stationary. The Hermitage OXP is about managing and running said hermitage.

Just seeing this post. It answers a lot of questions. Thank you.
