The only change made is to the displayName at line 4008, which reads:-

Code: Select all

if(ship.hasRole("planetFall_mainSurface_FSRoyalCourt")) ship.displayName = ""+expandDescription("[named_stations_planetFall_mainSurface_FSRoyalCourt_name]"); 
This shouldn't break the script as the test is for role rather than displayName name. Does Feudal States run properly at the orbital hunting lodges?

To test it, could you comment out line 4008 so it now reads:

Code: Select all

//if(ship.hasRole("planetFall_mainSurface_FSRoyalCourt")) ship.displayName = ""+expandDescription("[named_stations_planetFall_mainSurface_FSRoyalCourt_name]");


Does the Royal Court now appear with this change?

Can't reproduce the bug myself as landed on the main planet, the script appears to run normally and I am landed at the royal court:

The Royal Hunting Lodges work just fine.

On landing on the planets I was not finding the Royal Palace - either renamed or not - just all those other bizarre locations.

From v.1.4 (I'm now using your up-to-date version):

Code: Select all

// Keys to Generate names for PlanetFall Landing Sites.
// As Planet Fall generates Landing Sites at Random, they are not peristant and so as with the Ship Names above,
// These are generated on the fly with an expandDescription.
// A different style is used for each type of landing site.

// General Opening Words used for different types of Landing Site.

NB:

The Palace of Daring at Digebiti? I see that I never came up with a decent name for the palace.

I'll have to have a ponder. Unless Cody beats me to it. The Cocktail Throne was one of his...

Planetfall generates random landing sites each time you land from its own 'deck' of different types of landing site (shipyards, military bases, dumps etc). The Almanac gives them names appropriate to the type of landing site, but it is planetfall's code that generates the landing sites. If you have the feudal states, black monks, oo-haul or random hits planetfall extensions installed then these cards are added to the deck (if conditions on tech level or government are met). However, they are just one card added to planetfall's pack of random landing sites. So you won't persistently land at a royal lodge or black monk monastery each time you land on the same planet. The Almanac adds names to the planetfall landing sites, but its intended behaviour of planetfall that you are dealt a random location each time you land.

So how does one ensure that one visits the Royal Court on landing at a Feudal State? Is there some sort of built-in mechanism which allows this?

Eg: I end up landing at the Shipyard/Leisure Complex/Shenony customs control etc. - how do I get from these to the commodity markets? Or from customs control to the Shipyards? Or from any of them to the Royal Courts?

LitF?

Maybe Stranger addressed this in his PlanetLand?
Instructions:

To lock PLC homing system onto PlanetLand port just lock Advanced Astro Compass onto planet/moon of destination.
Locking Advanced Astro Compass onto any other target will override PlanetLand port with external OXP port (Royal Court in The Feudal Systems for example) or with fields by default.
Excess landing speed > 0.25 of max speed (beyond green sector) will cause missed approach and landing in fields too.
Precise landing is result of joint effort of ship avionics and ground service. Sometimes missed approach may be result of malfunction of ship avionics (risk increased with PLC tear and wear) or ground service failure (risk increased in low tech systems with unstable governments).

After landing on surface port you may call pictures (just for fun!):

F3 -> F7 Port view
F4 -> F7 Port terminal view
F5 -> F7 Planet/moon landscape
F8 -> F7 City/station view

To view system data screen call F7 screen from F6 screen as usual.

Невидимый геймеру Оониверсум
Локации, о которых пойдет речь ниже, теперь недоступны для непосредственного посещения. Тем не менее я решил остатить информацию о них, чтобы дать представление о скрытых механизмах, формирующих видимый геймеру рынок столичного порта или планетной/лунной колонии.
Mine Complex — горно-обогатительный комплекс
Горно-обогатительные комплексы (шахты) — основание техно- логической пирамиды Оониверсума. Несмотря на то, что большая часть сырья добывается на астероидных приисках, лунные и планетные шахты сохраняют свое стратегическое значение как альтернативные источники сырья для обеспечения независимости систем в случае военной блокады или экономических санкций.
В низкоразвитых мирах с сырьевой экономикой шахты — основной источник пополнения бюджета. В мирах с развитой аграрной или сбалансированной экономикой деятельность горнодобывающих компаний подпадает под жесткие нормы охраны окружающей среды, добыча сырья ведется только на лунах и внешних планетах. Высокоразвитые системы с постиндустриальной экономикой также предпочитают выносить грязные производства за пределы главной планеты, чтобы снизить давление техносферы на окружающую среду.
Изначально шахты на главных планетах специализировались на добыче сырья для промышленности, на лунах — обеспечивали добычу гелия-3 для термоядерной энергетики. С переходом энергетики на квирий лунные шахты также перепрофилировались на добычу минералов, радиоизотопов и драгоценных металлов.
Большим спросом на шахтах пользуются продукты питания и особенно алкоголь. Шахты также нуждаются в большом количестве механизмов, однако в развитых индустриальных мирах налажено
снабжение шахт механизмами, произведенными на местных заводах.
Шахты — основной потребитель неквалифицированной рабочей силы из низкоразвитых миров. В нестабильных системах существует развитая сеть работорговли, поставляющая рабочие руки владельцам шахт в обход центрального рынка.
Спрос на электронику, предметы роскоши, меха на шахтах отсутствует.
Горно-обогатительный комплекс на луне Орерве (Orerve). Старый комбайн для сбора гелия-3 из грунта, переоборудованный под цех рудного процессинга.

Factory Complex — завод
В индустриальных мирах заводы — это стержень экономики системы и градообразующие предприятия. Колонизация мало- пригодных для жизни пустынных планет обычно начиналась со временных лагерей вокруг рудников и металлургических заводов, где персонал работал вахтовым методом. Со временем временные лагеря обустраивались и дали начало постоянным поселениям.
В индустриальных среднеразвитых и развитых системах основная продукция заводов — машины, механизмы и инструменты. Индус- триальные зоны в этих системах представляют собой экологически неблагополучные регионы с высокой смертностью и хроническими заболеваниями. Роботизированные заводские комплексы в высокоразвитых постиндустриальных системах, производящие электронику, изолированы от окружающей среды под герметич- ными куполами дня снижения нагрузки на окружающую среду.
Как и шахты, заводы испытывают потребность в продуктах питания. Большим спросом пользуется алкоголь.
Потребность в рабочей силе, особенно неквалифицированной, на современных заводах практически отсутствует вследствие высокой автоматизации производства.
Значительную долю продукции заводов составляет оружие. Нелегальный рынок оружия — существенная составляющая поступ- лений в бюджет нестабильных систем. Емкость нелегального рынка оружия по оценкам экспертов более чем достаточна не только для оснащения незаконных вооруженных формирований, но и для ведения активных военных действий регионального масштаба.
Индустриальный район на Куатор II (Quator II) держит мрачный рекорд минимальной продолжительности жизни в Первом секторе. Оранжереи на башнях атмосферного процес- синга — единственное место, где заводской персонал может находиться без дыхательных аппаратов замкнутого цикла.

Farm — ферма
Виноградные плантации Дисо (Diso), питомники древесного червя Лэйв (Lave), плантации ксенокоралла Анарлаку (Anarlaqu) — продукция этих фермерских хозяйств пользуется популярностью в самых изысканных ресторанах восьми секторов Галактики, а пасторальные пейзажи аграрных планет привлекают нескончаемые потоки туристов. Истина, однако, такова, что массовое производство продуктов питания в плотно населенных мирах производится интенсивным способом на аквапонных фермах. Аквапоника в традиционном понимании — высокотехнологичный способ ведения сельского хозяйства, сочетающий аквакультуру (выращивание водных животных) и гидропонику (выращивание растений без грунта). Успехи биоинженерии привели к тому, что текстиль не производится на ткацких станках, а тоже выращивается.
Ассортимент сельскохозяйственной продукции зависит от технологического уровня системы.
В аграрных мирах низкого технологического уровня преобладает производство продуктов питания и очищенной питьевой воды, которое не требует больших инвестиций в дорогостоящее высокотехнологичное оборудование и квалифицированного труда высокоооплачиваемого персонала. Повышенным спросом в низкоразвитых аграрных системах пользуются сельскохозяйст- венные механизмы, а также стрелковое оружие. Фермеры исполь- зуют оружие для защиты от хищной фауны и бандитов, а также для охоты на зверя и на человека. По докладу экспертов организации “Межгалактическая амнистия”, нищие низкоразвитые аграрные миры поставляют основную часть человеческого материала работорговцам.
В среднеразвитых аграрных мирах основная доля экспорта приходится на продукцию с высокой добавленной стоимостью — алкоголь и меха, а в развитых аграрных системах — на биофармацевтику, использующую ресурсы местных экосистем.
В таких системах пользуется большим спросом электроника, которая используется для контроля производственного процесса в биоинженерии и биофармацевтике.
На рынках внешних планет и лун меха отсутствуют, а производи- мый там алкоголь яваляется очищенным и купажированным спиртом из растительной биомассы (да, мой юный Джеймсон, знаменитый листианский “дьявольский сок” — это то самое).

Research Complex — научная станция
Научная станция — первый объект, который появляется на неосвоенных небесных телах, и зачастую он остается единственным объектом в недружественной для жизни среде. В густозаселенных колонизированных мирах научная станция сохраняет свое значение исследовательского центра. Темы исследований много- образны, как многообразна окружающая среда: от изучения автохтонных биотопов до масштабных проектов терраформинга, от этнолингвистических исследований до разработки уникальных технологий, от изучения вирусных инфекций до картирования Галактики. Вакцина против смертоносного вируса красной гнили, наноботы, навигация и связь через гиперпространство, Q-энергетика — новая реальность Оониверсума родилась в стенах научных станций.
Научные станции имеют статус представительства Галактического Содружества, их многорасовый персонал находится под защитой Галкопа и неподконтролен местным властям. Обратная сторона ситуации — персоналу научных станции запрещено заниматься коммерческой деятельностью и заключать какие-либо контракты на исследования в интересах властей и частных компаний без согласования с Научным советом Галкопа. Руководство научных станций, однако, имеет право закупать необходимые припасы, снаряжение и оборудование у частных поставщиков.
Научная станция на внешней планете или луне, где может не быть постоянной колонии — изолированное автономное поселение. На рынке научной станции пользуются большим спросом продукты питания и в особенности алкоголь. Повышенным спросом также пользуются механизмы и электроника.
Ходят неподтвержденные слухи, что значительная доля исследований приходится на “черные” проекты в интересах Галкопа и Галактического флота. По частным сообщениям премиальные выплаты за подобранных в открытом пространстве таргонов
значительно выше, чем на рынках прочих объектов.
В мастерских научной станции производится лишь жизненно важный ремонт и дооснащение корабля. Вы можете отремонтиро- вать поврежденный в бою корпус корабля и дозаправиться топливом. На внешних планетах вам также предложат подвесные топливный бак для возвращения к главной планете, если система
имеет соответствующий минимальный технологический уровень. Сервисные услуги на научной станции обходятся дороже, чем в
главном порту.
Научно-исследовательский комплекс в составе колонии на луне Тионислы (Tionisla) - ведущий центр астрофизических исследований. Именно в этом центре были созданы карты дальней навигации.


Aerostatic Research Complex — атмосферная научная станция
Научная станция в атмосфере планеты-гиганта играет роль, аналогичную роли научных станций на внешних планетах и лунах системы. Вследствие своего расположения, однако, эти дрейфую- щие в атмосфере комплексы имеют дело со специфической средой. В свое время активно обсуждались проекты сбора квирия из верхней атмосферы планет-гигантов (проект Gas Giant Skimming корпорации Deep Horizon), однако успешное внедрение технологии сбора звездного ветра радикально изменило экономическую коньюктуру и персонал атмосферных станций в наше время занят в основном фундаментальными исследованиями в астрофизике и планетологии. Ходят слухи, однако, что изолированное положение этих объектов и их неподконтрольный правительствам системы статус как нельзя лучше подходит для работы над “черными” проектами наивысшей степени секретности.
Как и прочие научные станции на внешних планетах, атмосферные научные комплексы нуждаются в продуктах питания, алкоголе, механизмах и электронике. Сервис ограниченный, как и на всех научных станциях доступны лишь неотложные ремонтные работы и дозаправка корабля топливом.
Посадка на атмосферный комплекс имеет свои особенности. Так как это единственный порт на планете-гиганте, посадка вне его исключена. Учитывая специфику внешней среды, к надежности системы привода предъявляются чрезвычайно жесткие требования и вероятность срыва захвата практически равна нулю. Неисправ- ность теплозащиты корабля, может, однако, привести к его разрушении при вхождении в плотные слои атмосферы, поэтому при сообщении о неисправности PLC незамедлительно переходите в набор высоты.
Научная станция в атмосфере газового гиганта Онрира III (Onrira III) — признанный центр исследований атмосфер планет- гигантов. По слухам, именно эта станция была избрана как полигон для первого испытания каскадной бомбы.

Leisure Complex — центр досуга
Индустрия туризма и развлечений составляет значительную долю бюджета многих систем, а порой и его основную. Коммунистические историки уверяют, что идея культурно-развлекательного центра — подражание старой идее парка культуры и отдыха (ПКО). Их демократические оппоненты оспаривают это мнение, ссылаясь на легендарный Диснейлэнд старой Гайи (теперь уже невозможно сказать с уверенностью, была ли это страна или остров). Во всяком случае, даже самые захудалые малоразвитые миры не скупятся на средства для привлечения туристов, строя курортные зоны, куда нет доступа простым неимущим гражданам. Ярким примером курорта планетарного масштаба является главная планета системы Заонце (Zaonce), превращенная местными властями в огромный центр досуга (смотрите соответствующую главу “Путевых набросок по Оониверсуму” — Rough Guide to the Ooniverse by Disembodied).
Взыскательный искатель приключений, гурман и сибарит найдут в центрах досуга все для того, чтобы время отпуска утекло приятно и незаметно. Во многочисленных гипермаркетах, бутиках, салонах и сувенирных лавочках заезжий турист так же приятно и незаметно расстанется с карманной наличностью.
Не столь давно местные власти систем зачастую игнорировали нелегальную частную торговлю в зонах отдыха - она гласно не поощрялась, но в общем и не преследовалась. Лишь недавно в этой области совместными усилиями администрации Галкопа и местных властей наведен относительный порядок и теперь центры досуга доступны для посещения лишь по туристической визе, а вывоз товара из них декларируется как приобретение для личного пользования.
В богемной обстановке центров отдыха еда, текстиль, алкоголь, меха, предметы роскоши ценятся дорого — с точки зрения рядового потребителя, непомерно дорого — и пользуются большим спросом.
индустрия секс-услуг. Молодые привлекательные рабыни в центрах досуга ценятся значительно выше, чем здоровые мускулистые рабы на рудниках.
На лунах и внешних планетах центры досуга выполняют функцию психологической разгрузки персонала. Приток туристов в эти заведения немногочислен, но если вам придется заглянуть в такое заведение, это лучшее место для уютного отдыха и пересыпа между утомительными перелетами.

Re: Galactic Almanac OXZ - Full Version 0.92 - Now on the Expansion Pack Manager (Updated 12.08.23)

Post by LittleBear »

The entry in the Feudal States OXZ's shipdata sets the planetfall override property to true when in a feudal system, but only (I think) at the main planet. If you land on any other planet or moon even in a feudal system then it's random chance which landing site you get. I think its only at the main planet that you are guaranteed to land at a royal lodge. The Almanac only names the port if it has been generated by another OXZ. If Feudal States hasn't spawned one then the Almanac won't have executed any script in relation to it. The Almanac script won't stop them appearing, since it only adds a name to the display name of a port that has already been spawned. The Stranger's world planetfall script isn't doing anything in relation to the Royal Courts. These are added by Feudal States. Its the planetfall script that is adding Shipyard/Leisure Complex/Shenony customs control etc that you are landing at. The landing site is random each time you land as all the landing sites have a common role. You can't choose the landing site or travel between them as each landing site is in game terms a separate station and a random type of station is spawned each time you land.

Would it be possible to change the way Planets and Moons get numbered? Currently they get numbered in order from the Main Planet and its Moon(s) on out through the system. We currently have Planet I, Moon II, Moon III, etc. all of which are located within the Main Planetary System. My suggestion would be to number the Planets and Moons separately. The Main Planet would be Planet I, the next Planet would be Planet II, etc. The Moons would start with the Main Planetary System and then move through the remaining Planetary Systems. The Main Planet's Moon(s) would be Moon I, Moon II, etc. while the next Planetary System would then pick up the numbering where the Main Planetary System left off. Probably a nightmare to code so if this is not a possibility that is fully understandable as the current numbering system, while not as intuitive, can be figured out and reinterpreted by carefully reading distances.

It would be fairly easy to do in code, the difficulty is more in keeping the Almanac's classifications and numbering consistent with the native game and the other OXPs that name and number planets and moons (particularly planetary compass, in-system distances, Stanger's world, planetary systems, moons, extra planets, orbits and system redux). IRL a moon orbits a planet but in Oolite a moon is anything that does not have an atmosphere. Extra Planets adds planets and moons, but IRL all the moons would be classed as planets as they all orbit the star. Strangers world on the other hand adds planets in orbit round the sun and then (if the moons oxz is also installed) adds moons near those planets. Moons added by strangers world also be moons IRL, but moons added by other OXZs would not. In code if you added your object with addMoon then its a moon (even if its actually a pulsar, black hole or other object in terms of story). If you add with addPlanet then likewise its a planet in code. Also, in native Oolite, the main planet is always numbered as the [name of the system] I, regardless of where it actually is in terms of orbital position. I didn't want the Almanac to use different numberings and classifications to the other OXPS as that would get really confusing in terms of gameplay!

The numbering is done by the this.nameplanetsandmoons function. It numbers all oxp added objects in terms of their distance from the sun with a:-

var oxps = system.filteredEntities(this, oxps, system.sun);
where: function oxps(entity) {return (entity.isPlanet && !entity.isMainPlanet)};

As a moon is a subset of the isPlanet entity, this returns a list of all the objects added that are not the main planet in order of how far they are from the sun. I could change this to distance from the mainplanet but then the numbering conflicts with planetary compass (and as some OXZs depend on this being installed I need to accommodate it) as planetary compass and in-system distances both number by distance from the sun.

Then a loop like this names and numbers the list of oxz objects:

Code: Select all

if (oxps.length !== 0) {
for (i = 0; i < oxps.length; i++) {
var roman = objectnumbers[oxpCount];
if (oxpCount  > 200) var roman = ""+displayCount;
var type = "(Moon)"; // Default for an object with no atmosphere and not flagged as a planet, gas giant, star or main planet. If it's none of the above then it's a moon!

}  
As I use different naming pools for moons and planets, the loop is keeping a separate count of moons and planets, so they could have different numbering systems but then the way of numbering contradicts the base game and other OXZ. The way it actually numbers is therefore a bit of a compromise in that:-

The Main Planet is always I
All other objects and numbered from II onwards based on how far they are from the sun.

In terms of gameplay (particularly for new players) it is always handy to know which planet is the Main Planet on the compass. If you are playing the basic game then its Lave I. If you install the Almanac it becomes Lave I (Capital Planet) so you still know where you are. If you then install planet or moon adding OXZ these new objects in your game become II onwards. Some OXZs can send the player on missions to particular planets and moons using the numbering from Planetary Compass, so I needed to stay consistent its numbering system. Setting up the ASC in this way also means that the Stations in a system appear first and then the moons and planets, which is also quite handy when you are flipping through the ASC in flight looking for a particular station, planet or moon and the oxp objects cycle through on the compass in number order and how far out from the sun they are in terms of distance and in numerical order as the ASC will list the beacons in order from the sun even if they are numbered in a different way..

Did not realize the conflicts involved. My thoughts on it did not go into that amount of detail and depth. Thank You for the thorough explanation. As stated previously the current Galactic Almanac Planet and Moon numbering system works in my Ooniverse if an eye is kept towards the distances involved. Please keep up the great work you are doing with this OXZ.

Small issue: I think the MFD is including the Witchpoint beacon when compiling the count of "Orbitals".
As an example, here's the content of the MFD in my current system:
Image
and here's a list of beacons:

Code: Select all

[Ship "Navigation Buoy" position: (2496.53, -85281.4, 717091) scanClass: CLASS_BUOY status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT]
[Ship "Witchpoint Beacon" position: (0, 0, 0) scanClass: CLASS_BUOY status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT]
[Station "Kiota Habitat" "Kiota Habitat" position: (-23673, -813342, 896769) scanClass: CLASS_STATION status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT]
[Station "Kiota Relay" "Kiota Relay" position: (-96489.5, -2.28156e+006, 649450) scanClass: CLASS_STATION status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT]
[Station "Kiota Biosphere" "Kiota Biosphere" position: (-132064, -3.83473e+006, 1.45079e+006) scanClass: CLASS_STATION status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT]
The first beacon is for the main station, and the last three are fine (all WildShip stations). But the only way to get to "5" is to include the Witchpoint beacon, which isn't linked to a station.

Considerations for future releases:

1) F4 Screen settings menu: Background (BGS/Better Screens/Xenon/Classic) The ability to select "off" to allow other options (eg: Xenon Amber/SW Economy AddOn/KW's various HUDs etc. to show).

2) The ability to "opt-out" of being presented with the mission. (Possibly via Library.oxp's "Config for AddOns" as doing so is "anti-immersive")



This is a superb OXP. Very impressive. And the names are a delight!

Thank you for going to all the effort.

There's a kind of significant bug in the "shipSpawned" function, which is preventing the station/entity renaming process to function.

The current code looks like this:

Code: Select all

this.shipSpawned = function (ship) {
    // If an OXZ has set the Almanac Naming to Off with a Script Info Key, then the whole naming code is skipped for this Station or Ship.
    if (ship.scriptInfo.hasOwnProperty("almanac_object_naming") && ship.scriptInfo.almanac_object_naming !== "Off") {
The problem with the "if" statement is, most ships will not have the "almanac_object_naming" property set in the script_info section. However, both criteria in the "if" statement have to be true for it to trigger (because of the "&&" between them). What this means is, the first element (ship.scriptInfo.hasOwnProperty("almanac_object_naming")) is almost always going to be false, so the rest of the criteria are ignored and nothing will end up happening.

What you need to change this to is this:

Code: Select all

    if (!ship.scriptInfo.hasOwnProperty("almanac_object_naming") || ship.scriptInfo.almanac_object_naming !== "Off") {
What the if statement is saying now, is: if the ship doesn't have the alamanc_object_naming property, *OR* it does and it's not "Off", then do the renaming process that follows.

Added that fix for the next release. I've been kinda waiting for Commander Arquebus to complete the mission to correct all my typos and spelling errors in the mission screens. :wink: Including the Witchpoint beacon in the number of orbitals was deliberate, so the list of orbitals should be all the stations in the system which have a beacon plus the witchpoint beacon. The code gets a list of all the objects with beacons, but then excludes station buoys where the station also has a beacon (so stations such as Sothis and Griff's Trading outpost don't get counted twice) and also excludes mission stations, and things like tournament buoys. The reason for this is that the Witchpoint buoy is included on the list of orbitals on the F4 screen and I needed to do a count up of the total number of objects shown on the F4 screen to do the page breaks every ten objects. So the same count is used for both the F4 screen and MFD.

I've mainly worked on improving the name pools but also fixed for the next version are: 1) Removed the script entry from the Galactic Almanac MFD in equipment.plist so that it is no longer listed as primable equipment (as the MFD works automatically and does not need priming). 2) Adds a check to stop script timers which are already running before they are restarted.3) Adds a check for OXZ such as Here Be Dragons or ZeroMap, If installed, the names of unvisited planets and the stars they orbit are now hidden on the F7 screen.4) Further improves the naming pools for HoOpy Casinos, Penal Colonies, Pirate Coves, Extra Stations for Extra Planets, Stranger’s World Orbitals and the automatic naming pool. Adds a naming pool for the Isis Interstellar Station.5) Improves the optimisation under this.ship.spawned checking for whether auto-naming is off (solution by PHKB).

I'll add an option to have no background on the almanac screens for the next release.

Another bug. Current code:

Code: Select all

    // Other OXZs can set custom Descriptions in ShipData.
    // If any of the three Text Strings has been set by Script Info, this will be used by the Almanac MFD.
    if (player.ship.compassTarget || player.ship.target) {
        if (player.ship.compassTarget) var currenttarget = player.ship.compassTarget;
        if (player.ship.target) var currenttarget = player.ship.target;
        if (!currenttarget.isMainPlanet && !currenttarget.isSun) {
            if (currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_type) missionVariables.random_station_names_mfd_objectType = currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_type;
            if (currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_data_name) missionVariables.random_station_names_mfd_objectDataName = currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_data_name;
            if (currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_details) missionVariables.random_station_names_mfd_objectDetails = currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_details;
            // Closing Bracket to exclude the Sun and Main Planet.
        }
        // Closing Bracket for Valid Target Check.
    }
After checking if the currenttarget is not the main planet or the sun, the IF statement then checks the content of a property inside the currenttargets scriptInfo object. However, many compass targets will not have a scriptInfo object, and so any attempt to access it will generate an error.

I would suggest this fix:

Code: Select all

    // Other OXZs can set custom Descriptions in ShipData.
    // If any of the three Text Strings has been set by Script Info, this will be used by the Almanac MFD.
    if (player.ship.compassTarget || player.ship.target) {
        if (player.ship.compassTarget) var currenttarget = player.ship.compassTarget;
        if (player.ship.target) var currenttarget = player.ship.target;
        if (!currenttarget.isMainPlanet && !currenttarget.isSun && currenttarget.scriptInfo) {
            if (currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_type) missionVariables.random_station_names_mfd_objectType = currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_type;
            if (currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_data_name) missionVariables.random_station_names_mfd_objectDataName = currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_data_name;
            if (currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_details) missionVariables.random_station_names_mfd_objectDetails = currenttarget.scriptInfo.almanac_mfd_object_details;
            // Closing Bracket to exclude the Sun and Main Planet.
        }
        // Closing Bracket for Valid Target Check.
    }
