Sometime ago I posted some images on the Screenshots thread of the Oolite BB, of what is possible with Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III OXP. I mentioned that I have a lioness on the back of my Cobbie 3 hunters. El Viejo suggested that jaguars might be better. This formed an idea in my head and Jaguar Company was born.

Overview

Adds in an Elite group of pilots to patrol the space lanes in Anarchy, Feudal and Multi-Government systems. Jaguar Company can also be found sometimes in interstellar space.

The members of Jaguar Company are part-time reservists so there is a chance that they will appear if there is a major Galactic Naval convoy in the system.

This OXP adds new equipment, a new missile and a black box locator.

Requirements

• Oolite 1.75+
• Cabal Common Library

Optional OXPs

• OXPConfig - For log control of this OXP.
• Snoopers OXP - For news alerts from various sources including Jaguar Company pilots.
• Galactic Navy - Jaguar Company sometimes patrol with the Galactic Navy.

This is highly recommended.

• Talkative_Space_Compass - Easy identification of Jaguar Company beacon codes. (Or a HUD that does similar reporting.)

Version History

v2.5r29 (2013-11-10)

• This OXP now requires Cabal Common Library.
• Proper integration for Oolite v1.77 and newer with the interface screen for base locations.
• Added check for blackbox + software patch for base locations in the $addInterface() function.
• Renamed the vertex and fragment shaders.
• Rewritten $listNames() to use Cabal Common Library for truncating, padding and creating columns.
  • Oolite v1.76.1 and older use the original method of padding rows. Spaces.
  • Oolite v1.77 and newer use Cabal Common Library v1.7 strAdd2Columns() and strAddIndentedText() to create the rows.
• Removed some dead/unused code.
• Fixed ghost messages appearing on the player's console. I forgot player.consoleMessage() isn't distance dependant. It obviously isn't, however these minor bugettes happen from time to time. ;)

• Changed key combination to show list of base locations to F7, F5.
  • Oolite v1.77 and newer use the interface API when docked.

• Changed the operation of the black box tracker.
  • 'n' toggles the ASC tracker on or off.
