Equipment 'Sell Item' Color

Overview

A number of equipment OXP's include a "Remove" option, purchasable through the F3 Ship Outfitting screen. But, because they are the same color as other purchasable items it can be hard to quickly scan the list to find the item you want to purchase. This OXP simply recolors all items whose description starts with "Remove", "Sell" or "Unmount" to make it clear that these purchases will remove something from your ship. The recoloring will not be done on any item that already has a "display_color" defined in their equipment.plist file.

Note: Version 1.85/86 of Oolite is required.

Tweaks

The easiest way to add missing items into the Equipment "Sell Item" Color OXP is to change line 9 of its script file from this:

this._inclusions = ["EQ_MANIF_SCANNERX"];

To this:

this._inclusions = ["EQ_MANIF_SCANNERX","EQ_MISSING_ITEM1","EQ_MISSING_ITEM2"];

Important things to watch:

1. Make sure each equipment item is enclosed in double-quote marks (ie "EQ_MISSING_ITEM1")

2. Make sure there is a comma (ie ,) between each item. eg "EQ_MANIF_SCANNERX","EQ_MISSING_ITEM1","EQ_MISSING_ITEM2"

3. Don't accidentally remove the end backet (ie ]).

4. Make sure your double-quotes are the standard ones (ie ""), not the fancy ones (eg “”)
