I just updated Your_Ad_Here to version 4.1.4. (See the wiki)

I am very happy that this oxp still have a maintainer. Thanks Eric!!!

Almost a year ago I had made a noolite patch for YAH. It completely replaces the classic sidewinders with simonB creations (even the oodles -set G- non-existing constore). Could somebody update the wiki with this link.

It was a big negligence from my point not to publish it correctly. Sorry SimonB !!

Inspired by another thread on Outworld...

Not to disparage the work done on this project...but Your Ad Here billboards and store probably shouldn't appear in communist systems as a matter of principle (Communists would hate capitalist advertising) -- and as a matter of flavor, if you have Commies! OXP installed.

They'd also seem a little strange and vulnerable to pirates in feudal and multi-government worlds as well.

Maybe communist systems could have their own ads, hailing their beloved leader, spreading the word like their police do on radio, ...

If you install Commies! OXP, they have their own semi-random billboards (and there seems to be a few) instead of standard nav buoys.

True. Just no billboards floating along the main route that constantly remind me of what a great system with what a magnificent leadership I'm in

Hmmm. I don't use YAH myself, but I always supposed that it worked this way: lots of adds in corporate worlds, precious few in anarchies, and none in communist worlds.

From memory YAH only advertises in Multi-Gov and above and only if the Populace is above 5Bil...

I'll check later.

Memory gets two things mixed up.
For billbords there is no population check, only: "systemGovernment_number greaterthan 4". So the advertisements are never put in communist systems in the first place. Dr. Nil wrote both commies and YAH. It would have been strange when he mixed both.
The constores is a different mater. They look at population and could be added in any system other than anarchy

Esmeer Feli Gardens are found on the planet of Esgeer (Galaxy 3, four billion small furry felines, famous for Esgeerian shrew steak but ravaged by occasional solar activity) and the garden's tree canopy offers the perfect protection against the occasional solar activity. We may not like it, but the planets LOVE it. You should see the size of the Oonions...

Nice one Pangloss!
