Ship_Storage_Helper contains helper functions for OXP writers that wish to use the new Trunk JS method player.replaceShip(dataKey[,entityPerosnality]). It facilitates storing information about the current player ship in a variable or missionVariable, and reinstating a stored player ship as the players current ship, taking into account known OXP variables that also need to be stored/reinstated.

Latest revision as of 03:25, 29 February 2024

Allows "storing" one's ship to replace it with another. Mostly used by other OXPs.

Overview

Ship_Storage_Helper contains helper functions for OXP writers that wish to use the new Trunk JS method player.replaceShip(dataKey[,entityPerosnality]). It facilitates storing information about the current player ship in a variable or missionVariable, and reinstating a stored player ship as the players current ship, taking into account known OXP variables that also need to be stored/reinstated.

As development and testing is ongoing it is anticipated that additional OXP compatibility code will need to included. I would be grateful if testers and OXP authors could alert me to any bugs using the current release. In the long term I hope this OXP to become a community maintained OXP as it will require regular updating in light of new OXP releases.

Current OXP Compatibility

Ship_Storage_Helper contains code to explicitly overcome compatibility issues for the following OXPs:

New Cargoes, HyperCargo, Vortex, APRIL, Iron Hide, Missiles and Bombs, Railgun, Target Autolock Plus, Target Reticle Sensitive, Armoury, Aquatics, Battle Damage, 'Breakables', TCAT, Respray for Griffs.

Functions

 var myShipData = worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].storeCurrentShip()

This function can be called from other worldScripts immediately before changing the player's ship with player.replaceShip(dataKey), and returns a string including the stored ships essential attributes.

 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].restoreStoredShip(storedShipString)

This function takes the output of storeCurrentShip as an argument and uses it to reinstate the player ship from the stored information. Returns true if successful or one of the following error strings if it fails.

 "Error-Invalid Parameter, expected String" - indicates that storedShipString is in wrong format
 "Error-Invalid Parameter, array incorrect length" - indicates that storedShipString was created by a newer version of Ship_Storage_Helper.
 "Error-Invalid dataKey" - indicates that the OXP that defined that dataKey has been removed since storedShipString was created.

The output of storeCurrentShip is a JSON stringified array of ship attributes, containing the following indices as of v0.16.

0: Place and time of storage - Array

34: Thargoids RepairBots missionVariable.

Individual elements can be accessed from your own script. For example-

 var myStoredShip = worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].storeCurrentShip()
 var dataKey = JSON.parse(myStoredShip[1])
 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].disableVortexPBNSFunc(context)
 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].disableMaelstromPBNSFunc(context)

Context must be a string – valid values are “delete” & “retainName”.

Used to temporarily modify the behaviour of the playerBoughtNewShip function in Thargoid's Vortex.oxp, to either prevent it running, or to prevent it renaming a Vortex or Maelstrom that has previously been stored.

 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].enableVortexPBNSFunc()
 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].enableMaelstromPBNSFunc()

Reverses the changes made by the above functions.

 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].disableTCATPBNSFunc()
 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].enableTCATPBNSFunc()

Used to temporarily disable the playerBoughtNewShip function in Thargoid's TCAT.oxp. Buying a new ship is a trigger for mission failure in this OXP, but this may not always be appropriate behaviour using the new methods.

All of these functions are called from Extended_Shipyards.OXP if you need examples of how they can be used.

Variables

 worldScripts["Ship_Storage_Helper.js"].dataKeyArray

This is an array of valid player ship dataKeys from the users currently installed OXPs. It is built at startUp. It is not necessarily comprehensive, and is less likely to be comprehensive the more unique player-flyable ships are installed. It can generally capture up to 60 to 70 unique dataKeys.

v0.21 16/12/13 - Use keysForRole in Oolite 1.79 and a slightly improved buildDataKeyArray function in 1.77 (from Gallery OXP) to avoid memory problems if many OXP ships installed in machines with 4GB or less RAM.
