Relatedly: who is maintaining Thargoid's Fuel Station OXP? I ask because it has two entries in the update manager. One needs removing.

Not sure how Fuel Station is related to Escape Pod Tweaks...

I meant: when looking through the in-game manager - which I was doing to install Escape Pods Tweaks - I discovered that . .Re: Escape Pod Tweaks

I have uploaded the second version with Thargoid's permission and I asked if he could remove the previous one from the manager but so far I haven't heard back from him. The only difference between the two is cosmetic (textures and model).UK_Eliter wrote:Relatedly: who is maintaining Thargoid's Fuel Station OXP? I ask because it has two entries in the update manager.

I am a bit confused about this supposedly connection between these two OXP, are you reporting anything else than the duplicate in the manager?UK_Eliter wrote:

gsagostinho, there's no connection, except that when going to installer the one OXP (Escape Pod Tweaks) I discovered that there were two versions of the other OXP (Thargoid's one). Anyhow, well done for working on the latter issue, and thanks to phkb for fixing his OXP.gsagostinho wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2017 9:02 amI am a bit confused about this supposedly connection between these two OXP, are you reporting anything else than the duplicate in the manager?

Version 0.6 has just been released. I was overriding the wrong ship keys, meaning that Rock Hermits could still have docked police ships.

Version 0.7 has been released. After launching, held escape pods were not being added back into the active array correctly.

I just had a test-run with customized escape pods and got after I finally docked at the main station for every escape pod the same standard message from Oolite, in this case 15x an insurance of C 125 instead of special payments from the Navy. Since I use the same logic as Galactic Navy I guess the same problem will appear there.
Edit: The Navy escape pods work well if you dock straight at a GalCop station, still the display on F5 is wrong.

Ah, I haven’t ever used the GalNavy OXP, so I wasn’t aware of customised escape pods inside it. I’ll have a look and let you know what I find.

Like every time I discover a problem, thanks for the quick reply. Its not a big deal, as long as you head straight to a GalCop station the unload js is working well.

Hey phkb,
There seems to be some debug info left in EscapePodTweaks:
Unless I myself enabled some debugging by accident. But, ah, the version is 0.7 . .
EDITED: a typo.

It's easy to make small mistakes. (Witness my post and its 'let in'!)

Version 0.8 is now available, which removes the debug message noted by UK_Eliter.
I've added some code to check the definition of the escape pod shipdata being scooped. If that definition includes a pilot, it won't try to override it with it's own definition which doesn't (and can't) have a script.
This still won't fix the GalNavy issue without some extra steps. What you would need to do is create a
And then create a
That should (fingers crossed) fix the issue, although I haven't fully tested it.
The issue with GalNavy is a little tricky. The problem at the moment is that some GalNavy ships are defined with a predefined "pilot". That pilot has a script attached, which does some special tasks when the pilot is offloaded at a station. The problem is that I have no visibility of that attached script, so I don't know when this special pilot is in play.

roles = "galNavySpecialEscapePod";
};
// create unique escape pod entries for any special pilot definitions that have character scripts.

"navy-lander" = {

"navy-medship" = {

};
"navy-shuttle" = {
escape_pod_model = "galNavySpecialEscapePod";
};
// repeat for any other shipkey that has the "galNavy_officer" pilot
}
