extra fuel tank

[limbo]

so... i stopped in at a hermit/pirate cove (platinum is cheap there) and they had a 'External Fuel Tanks - Empty' for sale.
so i bought it.
i couldnt seem to use it or fill it or jettison or remove it.
so i searched up oxp's and discovered that i dont seem to have an external fuel tank oxp oxm...
i downloaded and installed and uninstalled all that i could find that refered to extra fuel tanks and i still have it.
i cant seem to use it or get rid of it...

It is in [wiki]Clippers[/wiki] OXP and usable in Clipper ships only. It should not appear on sale due to need TL99, but it seems you found a very high-tech place.
To remove it uninstall Clippers OXP, load and save your game, then even you can reinstall just do not buy again.

sweeeeet. issue solved.

thanks mate!

Clippers was updated a long time ago to avoid the old TL99 'hack', so you must have had an old version installed. The current version (v1.4.3) should not cause this.

It seemed up to date.
Was coloured white on my oxz list in game
I bought the tank at a hermits rock. Perhaps it was missed in the fix

My game is a bit funky... i bought a respray on my cobra and ended up with 50t cargo space...

<grins> Excellent!

[limbo]

Oh.. i just rolled with the flow...
I just figured the panel shop was dodgy and done a cut and shut for me...

Two passenger cabins and 40t cargo space heh heh always have room for pick ups now...

Not sure if i really ever want to trade my cobra III now

Ain't that the beauty of Oolite!

As the developer of the respray OXP I'd love to know what equipment you had before you did the respray.

[limbo]

I cannot remember i am sorry.
I downloaded a heap of addons. Flew around a bit. Resprayed and lo... i had extra room.
Then i deleted stuff that was slowing my PC .. hud's, telescope and a few others..
Still had the extra room.

Honestly it may not have been the respray.. but it was a before/after thing.

[phkb]

Ah, well. I guess if no one's complaining it means the extra room can't be a bad thing. And your hand-wave explanation fits well.

Sorry, I had the same problem but forgot about reporting.

I still have a save file that should be relatively close to what I had at that time. I remember I had to perform a "manual repair" of my save file because the commander load screen was showing a big question mark instead of the ship shortly after (I tried at first to fix the problem by removing some OXP - including but perhaps not limited to Respray). I also remember I had four choices for the respray: the standard Cobra, Griff's Cobra, a Deepspace Cobra, and another variant of one of them. I don't remember which of them I actually tried.

I made the save file available here:

Please let me know when you have copied it, so I can remove it.

[phkb]

Got it. Thanks for that - I'll let you know how I get on.

my respray was 'cobra mark III respray style 2 (oolite - cobra3 - alternate - player)

if that is any help...but i dont want it fixed... i am happy with 50t cargo hold

Mathematically looks like your  Large Cargo Bay is awarded second time: 20+15+15=50t.

@Smivs: I was the one who looked into an old Clippers, sorry. Now I checked the newest and I see that the TL is changed, but If you would like to use a sure way then add a condition_script parameter to the hidden equipments where allowAwardEquipment should return false if context is purchase.
