A good strategy when creating OXPs is to not have any others installed. With 600+ expansions and increasing it is very easy for cross-talk between OXPs to occur. If your expansion depends on others, just install whatever is absolutely necessary for it to function and nothing else.
The same is good practice when reporting bugs too. Unless a reported bug can be reproduced without any OXPs present, chances that one of the core devs will dedicate time to it are small.

I haven't come across it anywhere in the Wiki, but is there a method for changing the player's legal status? Is it possible at all?

try bounty in the Oolite JavaScript Reference: Ship:
bounty : Number (read/write integer)
The bounty on the ship.
In 1.77, changes to the bounty are given a reason. If you change this directly, the reason sent to shipBountyChanged will be "scripted". To set a different reason, use setBounty instead.

Thanks.
Would anyone happen to know the acceptable maxima for a ship's maxForwardShields, maxEnergy, maxRechargeRate? ie. 0..???

All three appear to be unlimited.

What is a "non-localised name"? - as in the following:
The playerSoldCargo handler is called when cargo is sold at the market screen. commodity contains the non-localised name for the cargo. You can get the localised name using expandDescription("[commodity-name "+commodity+"]");

It is the commodity name that the game sees internally and refers to. The localized name is the name used for displaying on screen and has to be a sεparate thing from the non-localized name because it can be used in potential localization OXPs (e.g. Italian, Russian, etc). The same goes for pretty much everyhting in the game. Ships for example have a name and a displayName property for this reason.

How does one change the colour of a HUD's energy bars? I've tried just about everything in hud.plist, including things like
color_medium = "newColor";
color_high = "newColor";
and
color = "newColor";
and
rgb_color = (X,X,X);
('new' here being any of the Wiki's documented colour values, like cyan, yellow, orange, magenta etc) ...

Code: Select all
{ // speed bar, can draw a surround 2 units out from the dial size specified
draw_surround = yes;
height = 8;
selector = "drawSpeedBar:";
width = 80;
x = 200;
y = 95;
y_origin = -1;
color_medium = "blueColor";
},
This works for me.

Many thanks, but that didn't work for me, I'm afraid. The bars stay yellow
Edit - but it's the
Energy bars I'm trying to change.

OK, this works for me:
Code: Select all
{ // energy gauge, can draw a surround 2 units out from the dial size specified
draw_surround = yes;
height = 48;
selector = "drawEnergyGauge:";
width = 80;
x = 200;
y = 35;
y_origin = -1;
labelled = yes;
color_medium = "blueColor";
},
For the energy bars, you only get color_medium and color_low. There is no color_high there.
Edit: Also, retry after removing all OXPs.

Again, changing color_medium only gave me the usual yellow bars. Here's my entire (non-working) entry:
Code: Select all
{ // energy gauge, can draw a surround 2 units out from the dial size specified
draw_surround = yes;
height = 48;
selector = "drawEnergyGauge:";
width = 80;
x = 200;
y = 35;
y_origin = -1;
labelled = no;
color_medium = "orangeColor";
},

Ah, OK, I'll give it a go on a clean install...
Edit: even on a completely non-OXP's install, my energy bars remain yellow.

Did a Select All and pasted your code into an AddOns\TestHUD.oxp\Config\hud.plist file. Run the game, orange bars visible right away without changing anything in your code.
