It seemed appropriate to include the code in the actual OXP, so here it is, v0.3, with maintenance emails:
MaintenanceTuneUp.oxz.
For the really keen, here's what I did:
First, the startupComplete event, I added this code:
Code: Select all
if (worldScripts.GalCopAdminServices) {
var ga = worldScripts.GalCopAdminServices;
ga._purchase_ignore_equip.push("EQ_MAINTENANCE_TUNEUP"); // don't sent a normal purchase email for this one
}
Essentially, this tells the GalCop Admin Services worldscript to ignore any purchase of the tune up equipment item. That's so we only get one email, not two.
Next, I added the following event handler
Code: Select all
this.guiScreenChanged = function(to, from) {
if (to === "GUI_SCREEN_EQUIP_SHIP") {
this._cost = player.ship.renovationCost;
}
}
This grabs a copy of the players current renovation cost, so we can apply it to the email if required.
Finally, in the "playerBoughtEquipment" routine, I added this code:
Code: Select all
if (worldScripts.GalCopAdminServices) {
var ga = worldScripts.GalCopAdminServices;
ga._maintCost = this._cost / 10;
ga.$setupRepNames();
ga.$sendMaintenanceEmail();
}
All this does is applies the cost value we recorded earlier to GalCop Admin Servers, forces the rep names to be defined, and then sends the maintenance email.
Hope that makes sense!

Geez - No wonder it would not work for me, left out almost every step. Thank you again for both the update and the scripting lesson, much appreciated.

This one is another little gem. It really should be on the Expansions Manager, in my humble opinion. Actually, it should be in the vanilla (non-strict) game!
But, the title is wrong. EquipmentRemoveItemColor - it seems not to affect "Remove Items", just "Sell Items".
- See here:

Could I suggest:
Equipment "Sell Item" Colour or
F3 screen "Sell Item" Colour as more accurate - and more comprehensible?

Well, it
should have affected remove items.

Oh, right. HUD Selector doesn't have "remove" in the description for its remove item, only in the name.

Right! Sorted! With a name change to aid the unwary.

I somehow posted Maintenance and Equipment Remove Item Colour together.
