BackGroundSet: rock hermit entering

Making whichspase jumps and entring space stations looks perfect. However, when I enter a rock hermit I see the old red/blue rectangles running at me.
Is it possible to update rock hermit docking theme as well?

Which rock hermits are you using - the core Oolite ones, or Griff's, or something else?

Okay, this should work with Griff's station bundle (it does with mine): you need to edit (not with Notepad) the rock hermit section of the shipdata.plist, found in that OXP's Config folder, and add this line script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "2.0";}; to the code thus:

Code: Select all

"griff_normalmapped_hermit" = 
	{
		ai_type = "rockHermitAI.plist";
		auto_ai = yes;
		beacon = "Rock Hermit";
		cargo_type = "CARGO_NOT_CARGO";
		script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "2.0";};		
		energy_recharge_rate = 5;
		equipment_price_factor = 4.5;
		equivalent_tech_level = 1;
		forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_NONE";
		frangible = no;
		has_ecm = yes;
		has_escape_pod = no;
		has_scoop = no;
Save it and restart Oolite with the shift key held down until the spinning Cobra appears. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

BTW, do I need to adjust other oxps that add dockables as well?

I can't answer for other OXPs - it should/may work, but you'd need an expert (which I ain't) opinion.

Which dockables you want to tweak? Quite a few already have bgs tunnel defined.

I was just wondering whether the same workaround is needed for others, for example, the Behemoth.
I haven't really docked anything from the Behemoth oxp yet, so I can't tell what the docking looks like.

Behemoths in the expansion manager have custom BGS tunnels, no need to tweak there.
