New page

==Overview==

A little OXP which enables the advanced space compass to also detect planets (sub-planets) and moons. The planets appear as "P" and the moons as "M". No purchases or installation (other than the OXP) is needed, it just fills in the odd gap that has always existed in the ASC.

The planets are named in order from the sun outward, using roman numeral designations after the systems name. The main planet is referred to as Prime. Moons are assigned random names, although these should be repeatable for a given system across multiple visits.
==Name Packs==

At least one of the below name packs must also be installed for the OXP to work. Multiple packs can be installed, and will give a wider pool of names for the OXP to pick from.

*[https://www.box.com/s/lbnjt5sjpfad14zs54f6 Name Pack C].
*[https://www.box.com/s/81ifhryjgakt9y50bub2 Name Pack D].

==Notes for OXP writers==
The .displayName parameter will be the full name as displayed (including the planetary body type), and the .name parameter will be just the planet/moons name without any other designation.

Lastly it is possible for other OXPs to introduce their own custom names to added planets or moons by setting its displayName or .name parameter (system.planets[x].displayName = "yournamehere" or equivalent .name). If both are set then displayName will be used. Built-in it will correctly name the Tianve pulsar from the Tianve OXP - if any other OXPs need such naming please let me know.

==Requirements==
This OXP requires at least trunk version 1.77 of Oolite.

 Each pack has to some degree a theme to it (I'll leave spotting them as an exercise to the Commander), but with more or less packs you can have a greater or lesser variety of name choices. Also for the future, if someone wanted to create a more specific universe with a defined name set (to go along with a fanfic, or some other established source for example) then it would be simple to do.
