To be fair, I was testing v0.4 not v0.3, so maybe it sneaked into that version somehow.mohawk wrote:Could it be just my system?

Well that's odd. my addons folder doesn't have an earlier version, but my ManagedAddons in GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Oolite/ManagedAddons/]You don't perchance have an earlier version of the OXP sitting in your AddOns folder?
Code: Select all
~/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Oolite/ManagedAddOns $ ls |grep new_lasers
oolite.oxp.redspear.new_lasers_0.3.oxz
oolite.oxp.redspear.new_lasers.oxzAh, that might be my fault on account of the name difference... Sorry.mohawk wrote:Well that's odd. my addons folder doesn't have an earlier version, but my ManagedAddons in GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Oolite/ManagedAddons/]You don't perchance have an earlier version of the OXP sitting in your AddOns folder?
has the earlier version also.!
But that is supposed to be resolved by the package manager automatically.
I never put anything manually in thereCode: Select all
~/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Oolite/ManagedAddOns $ ls |grep new_lasers oolite.oxp.redspear.new_lasers_0.3.oxz oolite.oxp.redspear.new_lasers.oxz
This is why the version should not be in the manifest ID. I think redspear will remove the number from the next version but the game will recognize it as a different oxp, so all players who installed v0.3 must remove it by hand before install v0.4 to avoid double installation.mohawk wrote:Code: Select all

These sound great.Redspear wrote:Unrestricted Beam Emission Regulator (UBER) laser coupler enables high powered/silly lasers

Thanks again Norby.Norby wrote:I added the table of the Uber lasers into the wiki.

That's actually intentionalNorby wrote:the defence type which need 5.5 minutes(!) to overheat and the "slowdown" mean from 3.3 shot/sec to 3 shot/sec (almost nothing).
Yep, that's what's been done.Norby wrote:I think redspear will remove the number from the next version but the game will recognize it as a different oxp, so all players who installed v0.3 must remove it by hand before install v0.4 to avoid double installation.
Not quite true, as the equipment will not travel with you should you purchase a new ship.Norby wrote:I do not know the current lifetime selection between UBER and SMUG is intentional or not. Due to the incompatibility is set to each other the player can not change without editing the savegame.
I hadn't thought of that TBH (and it might be the best way to do things) but I'd need to think some more to decide if that's how I wanted it to work.Norby wrote:There is another way if you want to allow switching between these:
-if equipment is SMUG in playerBoughtEquipment then removeEquipment UBER,
-if bought UBER then remove SMUG.
With the above in mind I used another strategy. Not every laser is available in every system. Once you've found a few of the standard ones you'll likely know where to look for the others. As for the 'uber' lasers they're distributed differently but you can likely work out where to look.Redspear wrote:I thought that the equipment list is crowded enough with this oxp, also both UBER and SMUG should not show up on the F5 screen once purchased.
I may need to make a seperate lasers menu for the F3 screen in a future version though...
