Ok. Thanks for clarification Wildeblood. If it's a trunk thing, then I'll let the oxp be as it is for the time being. Is that "whom is null" a bug or a feature?

It's a feature, Kaks' response to my complaint that compassTargetChanged doesn't fire when you enter a new system. Now it fires twice. With target = null before the hyperspace tunnel effect, then with target = system.mainPlanet after it.

New version (1.3) is up. "Whom is null" case is now fixed.

Thanks to GGShinobi, a new version (1.4) is up. GGShinobi has done a nice job implementing priming fuctionality to this oxp. Updating behaviour can now be turned on and off by priming and activating equipment with shift-n and n.

Here's the new functionality in more detail:

ship-status: status green:

* E.T.A. is activated: Updating TSC works exactly like the old, non-toggleable version, which means: When you are on green and come to yellow or red, the update will stop. It will resume when you are on green again.
* E.T.A. is deactivated: You won't get further updates until you reactivate it.

ship-status: status red or status yellow:

* E.T.A. is activated: You get updates, even if you are on red or yellow. If you come to condition green, the updates continue, but from that moment on it will work just like the old, non-toggleable version. Which means, if you come to red or yellow again, updates will be temporarily stopped, until condition is green again.
* E.T.A. is deactivated: You won't get further updates until you reactivate it.

With this new feature the requirement for Oolite version is upped to 1.77.

New version (1.5) is up.

* Fixed a bug in priming functionality

When ASC was damaged, priming still worked. Not anymore.

* Priming functionality defaulted to false

The default installation of this oxp should be as simple as possible. As nice as this feature is, it makes the use of this oxp more complicated, so I have decided to set it to false by default. If wanted, it can easily be turned on by editing updatingTSCWorldScript.js file from Scripts folder.

Oh thanks, that a big compliment from you! I'm honored!

New version (1.5.1). Bugfixed. There was a leftover line from testing version.

New version (1.6)

* Bugfix of handling damaged ASC and primable U-TSC. Thanks for pointing, GGShinobi.
* New user changeable variable: Update frequency. If you are annoyed in U-TSC overriding messages, try setting this variable to a higher value. It will slow down the updating of ETA, thus giving more time to other messages.

Thanks, spara! Good job!
