Good work Svengali,
I will try to find out where it can be usefull.
As an example I always save my games as a number descending with every save. So I end up Commander 988889 in the mission screens rather than Commander Okti. If I can set my commander name rather than my save file name, this will be perfect. With 1.75 we have an event before saving a commander, I am not sure we have one after loading though?

Thanks Okti, but I can't follow you here.
Cabal_Common provides only some functions that are not that easy to code for JS-beginners, but does not change OXPs and native objects. Stripping a string in your own OXPs only needs a .substr(), .substring() or via Regexp
Code: Select all
var test = player.name;
var restA = test.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g,"");
var restB = test.substr(0,5);
log(this.name,"test: "+test+" and restA: "+restA+" and restB: "+restB);
And after loading we have .startUp() and usually this is enough. A special case is BGS - it has to stop the looped sound before the player loads a new savedgame. Otherwise it would still play and the script couldn't do anything anymore.

Has anyone given any thought to making this lib part of the core game? It would encourage its use, and be less of an imposition on users to install it themselves.

Personally I think CCL is strictly OXP related and Oolite itself doesn't need it. Additionally the methods are in some cases not flexible/fast enough for a 'official' lib and would need a overhaul to qualify for a Oolite lib. And shifting the work from OXPers to the devs is maybe another point to leave it as it is. What I really would like to see is a OXP-Manager, probably a 3rd party app, which updates/enables/disables OXPs based on the infos in Info.plist, requires.plist, RSS or whatever.
btw: Yesterday I've spent some time with Cabal_Common_Briefing to make the fcbSetBinding() working as intended. The next step will be to think about other ways of bindings, but I'm not that familiar with the Math behind it, so it may take some time .-)
