Oolite Bulletins

• Fixed issue where you could purchase any smuggling compartment, regardless of how much credit you have.
• Added player credit balance to smuggling compartment purchase screen.
• Added player credit balance to Black Market purchasing screens.
• Tightened up which stations will have a Black Market.
• Added government icon and TL to all purchase screens in Black Market.
• Tweaks to the calculation of phase scan noticeboard items.
• Improvements to the page handling for illegal goods.

• Fixed bug with selling relabelled cargo.
• Fixed issue with delivering a standard cargo contract to a system where the cargo has become illegal after accepting the contract. The player was not being given the opportunity to bribe a docking official to clear their bounty.
• Fixed issue where, after using the phase scanner and being discovered using it, and then docking, the player was not being given the opportunity to bribe their way out of trouble.
• Added emails for various actions, when the Email System OXP is in use.
• Changed skull and crossbones background image for Black Market.
• Improved integration with Illegal Goods Tweak OXP (v2.2.0). The inital screen IGT displays will now look like an Amnesty Intergalactic screen, rather than a GalCop one, and the player has only two choices: hand over the slaves, or work with GalCop. If they choose the latter, Smugglers will include slaves as part of its import restrictions and the player can bribe as normal if they choose to. In short, I've moved all the bribing mechanics into this OXP, rather than in IGT.

A technical question: I'm using "planetinfo.plist" to add a market script to all systems, so I can adjust the legality of various commodities. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

{
	"universal" = {
		market_script = "smugglers_illegalmarket.js";
	};
}	

Which works fine. Unless you have "Stations for extra planets" installed, in which case those stations don't get the legality flags from the main station. This is because previously there was no deviation in the state of legal goods, so it is relying on trade-goods.plist to pass through any legality settings.

My question, then, is how to get any "GalCop" aligned station, that isn't the main station, to pick up the legality settings of the main station, without having to contact the authors of any station OXP's and asking them nicely to include it?

     1. Firstly, the primary system market is calculated
        1. The trade good price and quantity are generated from the values in trade-goods.plist
        2. The updateGeneralCommodityDefinition handler of the commodity's market_script will be called to set primary market data for the trade good
        3. The updateLocalCommodityDefinition handler of the system's market_script will be called to modify primary market data for the trade good. 
    2. Secondary markets are then calculated for each non-main station
        1. The primary system market is copied into the secondary market, and then quantities are scaled to the station's market capacity
        2. If the station does not have a market script, the rules in its market_definition are applied.
        3. The updateGeneralCommodityDefinition handler of the commodity's market_script will be called again to set secondary market data for the trade good.
        4. The updateLocalCommodityDefinition handler of the station's market_script will be called to modify secondary market data for the trade good. 

• Using escape pod will now empty smuggler's compartment.
• Pared down "trade-goods.plist" to only contain required information, hopefully making it compatible with "Risk based economy" v2 OXP and BlOomberg Markets OXP.
• Removing the smuggling compartment or phase scanner at a Rock Hermit (or other non-GalCop station) will now refund the full cost, rather than just 70%.
• Changing the size of the smuggling compartment will refund the full price of the old size first, before purchasing the new size.
• Fixed bug when starting new game.
• Fixed issue where the message about delivering illegal goods via a cargo contract was appearing incorrectly.
