Oolite Bulletins

From what I've seen, it's possible to install modules up to the ship's standard "magic" generator level, have you considered the possibility of installing more?

recharge itself seems a bit intermittent.

setting calculated value to energyRechargeRate

why you save and restore the contents of the cargo hold?

if you don't buy all possible modules - you have some more Cargospace....

if you increase the bay even at a ton through the console, after save and load CBE will be added.

What if instead of setting a total capacity on load, add space for modules?

And one more thing, if buy a generator base on Cobra Mk3, saveload, buy Adder, saveload again, you get Adder with 34TC cargo capacity.

==>> Cargo Bay Expansion
- not every ship is able to install this
- it is no oxp / its in the core game

if you increase the bay even at a ton through the console, after save and load CBE will be added.

this must be a bug (hack) / installing that equipment from "nowhere" ..... should not be not possible

hey -- more simple "set cargosize for modules to 0"
but that was not my intension
The idea was: "less modules" -- more space for cargo

// ###  event startup
// sets cargospace as defined in savegame
this.startUp = function()
{
    this.qveCargoSpaceForModules = missionVariables.qve_generator_CargoSpaceForModules || 0; // if there is no saved value, then 0
    player.ship.cargoSpaceCapacity += this.qveCargoSpaceForModules; // increase, so it will work with capacity changes made from other sources
};

// ### event savegame   ###
// saves cargospace and cargo to savegame
this.playerWillSaveGame = function(message)
{
    missionVariables.qve_generator_addictionalSpace = this.qveCargoSpaceForModules;
};

this.playerBoughtEquipment = function(equipmentKey, paid)
{
	if (equipmentKey == "EQ_QVED_BASE_SYSTEM")
	{
		var rc_multiplier = this.check_e_unit();
		var ship_rc_rate = player.ship.energyRechargeRate;
		var max_number_of_qveg = Math.round( ship_rc_rate / rc_multiplier / this.qvegEnergyFactor * this.qvegTimeFactor + this.qvegSytemRiscBonus);
		
		var cargoSpaceForModules = 0; // new variable here
		for (let i = 0; i < max_number_of_qveg; i++)
		{
			player.ship.awardEquipment("EQ_QVEGRACKSPACE");
			cargoSpaceForModules += this.qvegAddSpaceCap; // sum up how much space to give
			
			player.credits += this.qvegShipRcRefund;
		}
		this.qveCargoSpaceForModules = cargoSpaceForModules;
		player.ship.cargoSpaceCapacity += cargoSpaceForModules;
	}
	// rest of the function....

-> o.k. --- i have to check if the base system is installed before loading cargo-size-data from savegame
the Base system should not be installed on a new bought ship ( defined in eq.plist )

nevertheless i have to restore the cargo

Code: Select all

13:00:55.798 [setCommanderDataFromDictionary.inconsistency.cargo]: ----- WARNING: player ship Imperial Trader C-01 had more cargo (98) than it can hold (82). Removing extra cargo.

The "core" game removes the cargo before the additional cargo-space from the oxp is installed.
So i have to restore the cargo later. ( also done this way by other oxp's )
