Question about an existing oxz (AuxEnergyGenerators)

Post by Slartibartfast »

Hello

I`am trying to learn write scripts for oolite, therefore i looked to other oxp/z to see,
how its done there.

So i stumbled something, that ( after some hours searching wiki's and ... )
i was not able to understand.
==>> Oolite.oxp.QCS.QTHI_AuxEnergyGenerators_0.1.1
------
in "/config" there is a file "worldscripts.plist" with an entry:

Code: Select all

(
  "AuxEnergyGenerator.js"
)
.
But in the whole oxp there is no script with that name.
As i have read in "https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Misc_ ... ipts.plist" it should exist.
Structure

The file is organized as an array. Every entry consists of a string, with the name of a script. The name must correspond with a file inside the Scripts folder inside the OXP.
hmmmmm?

Good evening Matthias,
my first guess, after a quick look, would be that AuxEnergyGenerator.js in the worldscripts should be EQ_QTHI_AuxEnergyGenerator.js in the scripts folder. Currently, it seems that this script is not executed at all.

Hi

==>> EQ_QTHI_AuxEnergyGenerator.js
...but that script is running ( this.description = "Equipment script for the Generator (Priming/Activation)."; )

i can't find these actions in the other script.

My bad, it is triggered from the equipment.plist. :oops:

Hello

after disabling the worldscript.plist (rename to *.dead )
- the .oxz seems to work without problems.

Hi
As an exercise for me, i rewrote the /config/script.js ( without changing the original idea/structure ).
--- my first intention was to learn how that works
----- after a long time looking at this script -
i decided to try convert function by function ( because i loose the overview )

So i tried to use the script structure, which i have used with "bash" before.
( btw.: i hate "if-else-if-else-if-else-if-else-if-else-if-else" ).

after converting ( with more overview )
- i removed 2 not necessary lines (double definition,double "if")
- changed parameters
---- more fuel consumption for the heavy one / less for the light one
---- more heat for the heavy one
- added a lot of comments ( // ### ... )
so here the new one -- !!!! i have kept the header as it was !!!!
--- i was not able to remove "did not use strict" messsage in the log

Code: Select all

"use strict";
this.name           = "QTHI Auxiliary Generators";
this.author         = "QCS";
