equipment-overrides.plist is added with Oolite 1.89.
It loads after all the equipment.plist data is read in. Whenever it finds a match with a key that also exists in equipment.plist of any oxp, it overwrites the entries defined in equipment-overrides.plist but leaves the others as they were.
The structure of the file is slightly different to the equipment.plist file, which is an array of arrays. This is a dictionary of dictionary objects. Each element of an equipment definition is specified with its own unique property name. A sample file is shown below.
{
"EQ_WEAPON_PULSE_LASER" = {
techlevel = 7;
price = 50000;
short_description = "Laser Pointer";
long_description = "A simple, all purpose (but weak) laser. Only useful for irritating pirates.";
available_to_all = YES;
weapon_info = {
color = "whiteColor";
};
};
}
Special note: Unlike the shipdata-overrides.plist file, any information in the "script_info" section will be added to the equipment entry. It will not replace data in an existing "script_info" section unless explicitly updated. For instance, if the original equipment.plist entry has "script_info = { equipment_space = 4; };", and the override file has "script_info = { extra_space = 5; };", the end result will be "script_info = { equipment_space = 4; extra_space = 5; };".
