That's an idea that's brilliant in its simplicity!mossfoot wrote:Perhaps just random bits of conversation that pops up on the HUD like the way ships communicate?
I agree. That would be brilliant. Perhaps a random "Thanks for taking me" or "Can this ship go any faster?" or "What a beautiful sight out this window!"Zireael wrote:That's an idea that's brilliant in its simplicity!mossfoot wrote:Perhaps just random bits of conversation that pops up on the HUD like the way ships communicate?
Fairly simple. On launch, check for passengers. If present, start a timer with a random time. When the timer fires, check the current context - is the ship near anything? being attacked? all quiet? - and use the context to select which list of possible messages to use. Randomly select a message from the appropriate list and display it. Restart the timer.byronarn wrote:How hard would making such an OXP be?
Code: Select all
this.shipLaunchedFromStation = function()
{
if (player.ship.passengers.length > 0)
{
this.$passengerNoiseTimer = new Timer(this, _passengerNoise, (Math.random() * 1000));
}
}
this._passengerNoise = function () { /* Your code here...*/ }
I think I need to try to talk someone who knows how to programs OXPs into trying to make this... Lol.Wildeblood wrote:Fairly simple. On launch, check for passengers.

Thats a great idea! Which forum would be best suited for that? This one? Or perhaps the expansion packs forum?mossfoot wrote:Perhaps we can make a "passenger chatter" thread where we can contribute lines of passenger dialog to add to an OXP, saving whoever takes this on time from having to think them up him/herself? (or use this one)
That sounds awesome! I can't wait to try it!Wildeblood wrote:I'll bet anyone a dollar this thread gets moved to the OXP forum sooner or later. I've made a version 0.1, with only one message per context. You can add random text generators to it. I'll upload it in the next 24 hours. Real life beckons now.
Contexts:
alertMassLocked - "There's a lot of other ships about."
alertHostiles - "Hey, is someone shooting at us?"
alertAltitude - "You're getting awfully close to the ground aren't you?"
alertCondition === 1 "I'm bored. Are we there yet?"
etc...

I accidentally deleted my save game, so I had to start back at square one. As soon as I save up for the advanced navigational array and passenger berth, I will report how well this works.Wildeblood wrote:

Lol. I had to reinstall Oolite (It started acting up on me), and I thought I backed up my save file, but I backed up the wrong one. It was one when I still only had a few hundred credits and a large cargo bay. Pretty much back at square one.Wildeblood wrote:In other news, the dog ate my homework.byronarn wrote:I accidentally deleted my save game...Wildeblood wrote:
