(Release) Manual Witchspace Alignment

[Cmd. Cheyd]

Also, it's been a while since I messed with it, but I seem to remember being pretty clear on the fact that the ANC OXP would change default behavior as an immersion element, and actually purchasing the ANC in-game item yielded the benefits.

A small but important update for the MWA - now, if the system you're in has gone nova, an "Emergency alignment" protocol will engage that means you won't need to align to a beacon to jump. You might take some damage at the other end, though.

I've also create a  wiki page for the OXP as well. Because reasons.

Initiating a jump from interstellar space:

Code: Select all

Exception: TypeError: targetPosVector is undefined
    Active script: Deep_Horizon_Adv_Nav_Comp 1.0.4
    Deep_Horizon_Adv_Nav_Comp_World.js, line 354:
    	var v = targetPosVector.subtract(player.ship.position).direction();

I realize this isn't that OXP, but since you're overriding parts of it, maybe you can also patch this one?

[phkb]

I can certainly patch it, but at the moment I can't reproduce it. What were the conditions at the time? Where were you, and what was your target system?

[Milo]

I think I was between Esbeus and Xexedi jumping to Xexedi. However, after reporting this I jumped out of interstellar space again and didn’t get this error, so it seems to be more subtle than I originally thought. I think the first time I chained a couple of misjumps, if that makes a difference.

Finally gave this a try and I think it's great. Well done!

However, what with my being the tinkering sort that I am, I did find one minor annoyance and have a suggestion...

The 'directions' for aligning with the target are a little clunky IMHO and I thought that an obvious alternative might be to use the compass (a "H" target perhaps?). If the compass requires an actual target then you could 'fake' a tiny beacon at some inordinate distance for it to 'lock on' to.

As it is, I find it like a slightly annoying 'mini-game' before one gets to a really well made and immersive piece of presentation.

Maybe others will disagree with my opinion on that but in any case it's a great idea, well made.
Thanks.

Yes, on the root URL but not http://deephorizonindustries.com/default.html or the others.

Thanks, young'un! Got what I wanted - if it's still playing up tomorrow, I'll email him.

Thanks, young'un!

Sorry for the digression, phkb, but it seemed like an appropriate thread, as it reminded me of Cheyd's Emergency Witchspace Initiator.

All good. I don’t mind the occasional digression!

You get that experience after you purchase the ASC. Before that, and always in Interstellar space, you get the messages instructing alignment.

Fair enough

Hi, I got this error in Trunk and it's never appeared before and I've played a lot lately.

Code: Select all

20:09:03.320 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (ManualWitchspaceAlignment 2.6): TypeError: targetPosVector is undefined

Just the one line, that's it.
