Oolite Bulletins

Hi, I finally waited 1.77 with my patch for second equipment button

And I want to present OXP for which it all began. Targeter is upgrade to the ship Target System to cycle targeting between hostile or pacific ships and cargoes.
It is more expensive and complicated alternative for "Target System Memory Expansion".

TL: 12, price: 3100 Cr.

Requires equipment: Scanner Targeting Enhancement, Multi-Targeting System

use keys: Shift+n for select, than b for mode change and than n for cycle targeting.

OXZ version Only for 1.79+

Congratulations, timer!

I think you may be the very first person to create an OXP which makes use of the 'b' key!

I'll definitely check this out.

Very very very big thanks to another_commander - he understood and supported me

I hope my OXP will show example of using second equipment button and other developers will use it

That is certainly one of the reasons I'm interested in examining it! (Apart from the usefulness of the equipment itself, of course)

Rename and repack archive in accordance with the requirements of http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_Distribution
sorry.

Hm, I have it installed with 1.77 and I'm currently docked at Aanteso, a Tech Level 11 Industrial Democracy world. It doesn't offer your device.

Then try a TL12?

Hm... really in 11L it absent

I thought that numer in equipment.plist is the minimum level, but... it's weird - it's pred level

again sorry )

Internally, Oolite stores Tech Levels beginning with 0, which equates to TL1. So 5 means TL6, etc. So if you want the EnemyTargeter to be available at TL 11 and up, you need to specify it as '10' in the equipment.plist.

> beginning with 0
hm... as for me - usually numbered from zero hide in implementations... and use it in external textual description file...
so ok, I understand.

Anyone been able to buy and use?

Yes, I did! Works very well! Good work!
I will add it to [wiki]OXP List[/wiki] in the wiki.

EDIT: Note that I didn't need to have the Police Scanner IFF upgrade to use it. From the readme I thought I had to (but I like it the way it is, too)

oh... I will correct...

any suggestions - welcome!

I'm going to add the "Scanner Targeting Enhancement" to the requirements.

Hmmm... can't think of anything - it's excellent! Oh, perhaps one thing: Increase the version number to 1.0

in *nix world version 1.0 often comes only after years of devel work

EDIT: one more - my OXP much better in union WITH cool OXP "Target Autolock" - very convenient to see the current target in the scanner
