There is probably a "delete"-option on the upload page? Or you could replace it using the same name for your next upload?

But I don't know. Never have done it. Or even tried it.

I couldn't find a delete-button/option, hence the question. :lol:

I should have replaced the v1.2-file with the new version.
You know how in computing these details always come to you when you already did things the wrong way.

And the saying that states that 'a donkey does not trip over the same rock twice' doesn't apply either!
(Does that proverb translate into other countries?)

Call it DejaBodge: "I did this wrong the same way before".

If you upload the new version to Box and then edit the Wiki page entry to use the box link instead then peeps can grab the new version from the OXP page. Or if you upload the new file to the wiki, changing the link on the OXP page will have the same effect.

Think you have to put in a "request for deletion" to get rid of the orginal file.

There is, in the sort-by-category part at the bottom of the page.

Anyway, I've changed the link in the OXP-table as well. So now the correct version 1.3 will download from there as well.

didn't I change it correctly? I edited the OXP-table. even added a new category for miscelaneous things, like cargopods.

The location of v1.3 cargoteaser on the wiki:
http://wiki.alioth.net/images/7/70/Carg ... r_v1.3.zip

I will shortly update this again, because I want the Treasuroids to work as well as all scripted cargo.

problem: why do ships added by script not have cargo?
if they do, why does my like_rock thing not have any exept for alloys.
do I need to include the role trader(0.001)?
currently:

Code: Select all

<key>treasure</key>
	<dict>
		<key>like_ship</key>
		<string>asteroid</string>
		<key>cargo_type</key>
		<string>CARGO_NOT_CARGO</string>
		<key>likely_cargo</key>
		<integer>64</integer>
		<key>max_cargo</key>
		<integer>128</integer>
		<key>model</key>
		<string>asteroid1.dat</string>
		<key>name</key>
		<string>Treasuroid</string>
		<key>roles</key>
		<string>piratestash asteroid(0.01)</string>
		<key>death_actions</key>
		<array>
			<string>commsMessage: [stash-message]</string>
			<string>spawn: pirate 1</string>
		</array>
		<key>scanClass</key>
		<string>CLASS_CARGO</string>
	</dict>
