Custom Populator OXP

A utility: Creates a customised population for Lave, used for testing

Overview

• You will need to use the Debug Console - available with the TR & Nightly versions of the Oolite game.

• This OXP is currently set to spawn these ships between the witchpoint beacon and the planet.

   pirates: 50,
   police: 50,
   traders: 100,
   thargoids: 20,
   asteroids: 50,

To alter these settings, use the debug console.

To count how many are actually spawned (which will vary slightly from the settings) try these commands in the Debug console:

system.countShipsWithRole("trader")
system.countShipsWithRole("police")
system.countShipsWithRole("pirate")
system.countShipsWithRole("thargoid")

For more details see Phkb's explanations in Hiran's BB thread (use in measuring Frame rate, how to remove limits on spawning asteroids, et cetera)
