This feature uses the Oolite JS function takeSnapShot(). This is technically a debug tool and as such is not optimised in the core gamecode. Players on older computers, or with a high OXP count, or with limited hard-disk space, or with larger screen resolutions may encounter [script.javaScript.timeLimit] errors in their log file when the screenshot is taken. If these errors only relate to [explorer_club_snapshot.js] this should not cause any problems. If these errors relate to other scripts please report and consider disabling the feature or editing the script to increase the values of this.explorerClub_snapshotDelay = 0.25; and this.explorerClub_releasePlayer = 1.25; both of which can be found in explorer_club.js.

(Note - takeSnapShot() has been excluded from the JS time limiter with Trunk revision 4794 - trunk users using this revision or later should not experience any timeouts)

During testing on a 7 year old Win XP laptop timeouts were quite frequent until I repaired some hard disk errors via windows chkdsk. After that the default values worked well and did not cause any timeouts so most users should not have any problems.

List of visited systems

Explorer's Club records the systems which you have visited.

Overview

Useful for explorers (and used by other OXPs which make more of the exploration side of Oolite).

Description

Once installed this OXP keeps track of unique systems visited and reports on the manifest screen (F5, F5) the total systems visited out of 256 in the current chart and the total systems visited out of 2048 in the whole Ooniverse. It also displays an Explorer ‘rank’. You need to visit all 2048 systems to be ranked an Elite Explorer.

In addition this OXP adds some functionality to the Long Range Chart (F6, F6) in that it can be set to different modes. To access the options go to the Interfaces screen (F4) when docked. The available options are:

1) Default - standard long range chart behaviour.
2) Long range chart shows animation of systems visited to date, in order of first visit (marked with green X's)
3) Long range chart marks unvisited systems (marked with orange lozenges)

The options screen also allows you to choose when a system is recorded as visited. The options are.

1) Default – when docked at the main station.
2) Immediately on arrival from witch-space.
3) When reaching the planet's surface.

Options are persistent between sessions with the same saved game.

The options screen also gives access to two further sets of mission screens.

1) Displays a list of the system names that have been visited so far in the current Galaxy, followed by a list of the system names that are yet to be visited in the current galaxy.
2) Displays a list of mile-stones that the player has completed, or not completed, so far. Defined mile-stones are:
  • Visited all of the ‘Old Worlds’ in galaxy 1.
  • Visited all of the ‘Famous Planets’ in galaxy 1 (as per OXP of same name).
  • Visited all of the ‘Famous Planets’ in galaxy 2 (as per OXP of same name).
  • Visited the ‘Prodigal Suns’ in galaxy 3.
  • Visited the ‘Lost Worlds’ in galaxy 6.
  • Visited the systems beyond the ‘Great Rift’ in galaxy 7.
  • Visited Oresrati in galaxy 8.
  • Visited all 8 galaxies at least once.

The experimental feature to keep a photographic record of systems visited, only usable with development versions of Oolite, has been removed from this version of the OXP.

ChangeLog & Downloads

Download 1.4.6 in OXZ format here for Oolite 1.80 or later.

Version 1.4.6 (3/2/2024) Removed Ranking from F5-F5 Manifest Screen

Version 1.4.5 (3/2/2024) Did something else (or didn't do it, because of typo.)

Version 1.4.4 (19/8/2014) Can now leave mission screens at any time, and fixed harmless bug introduced in 1.4.3.

Version 1.4.3 (5/8/2014) Counter now displayed on interface summary, jumping into a nova system is now always logged immediately, and fine-tuned the change made in 1.4.2.

Version 1.4.2 (27/7/2014) Code updated for Oolite 1.80: bug-fix for loading games saved at stations other than GalCop main.

Version 1.4.1 (21/10/2013) System data screen tweaked, micro-tweak to API functions, last text string moved to missiontext.plist file.
