Oolite Bulletins

This looks suspect to me:- A console message can persist for up to ten seconds, so $commValueMessage should only need to be called once every nine seconds (during the last second they fade out), not every half second. This:- - should work, provided this.$commValueMessage is also called immediately each time the frame callback detects a transaction.

A console message can persist for up to ten seconds, so $commValueMessage should only need to be called once every nine seconds (during the last second they fade out), not every half second.

And even if the optional duration parameter of the message is used, its minimum value is 1 second:

Changing that worked for me, thank you.

Thank you guys for spotting and guidance. I've had no probs on my system, but obviously my current solution seems to be an overkill. I'll fix it to the next release. Meanwhile Wildebloods advice should fix it if you're having trouble.

I've gone through the documentation countless times, but relevant stuff just slips through . These bits of info are quite essential:

New version is up (0.9).

* Timers rationalized as suggested by Wildeblood.
* Integrated some nice hud elements from Wildebloods AI Trading Assistant.
* Added commonly known min, average and max prices of commodities into market screen. (in other words integrated marketAide)
* Removed reputation displays from Sothis welcome screen as I found those to be a bit out of place. Let this oxp be just about trading.

Once again, thank you for testing and commenting. Feedback is always welcome.

For version 1.77, this oxp is failing to calculate the average price and the profit loss for Liquors/Wines, Gem-Stones and Alien Items. It is also failing to properly calculate the profits for the cargo contracts. After doing several contracts I was thrust into negative profit rating.

Oh bugger . Well, this oxp needs some rewrite anyway and I have some new ideas that might now be doable . All I need is some time. Will be fixed, thanks for reporting.

Open troomp.js, go to the this.startUp function, and change the line that defines the commodities array. Make it look like this:-

this.$commodities = ["food","textiles", "radioactives","slaves", "liquor_wines", "luxuries", "narcotics","computers", "machinery", "alloys","firearms", "furs", "minerals", "gold","platinum", "gem_stones", "alien_items"];

Thank you! This has resolved the first part of my issues.

Yeah. I never quite finished this one as there was a bug in 1.77 that broke it. Then again there are other neat stuff that made me abandon this and write marketObserver. There must be quite a few bugs left in this. Try marketObserver.
