Requires Oolite 1.75.3
Description
Once installed this OXP keeps track of unique systems visited and reports on the manifest screen (F5) the total systems visited in the current galaxy out of 256 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 screen press F2, then F6 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. 3) Player can manually mark systems on long range chart as a destination (highlight a system with the cursor and press F7) 4) Player can manually unmark systems on long range chart as a destination (highlight a system with the cursor and press F7)
Players should exercise caution when using the 2nd option as it will clear any currently marked systems (e.g mission or contract destinations), although the 3rd option can be used to manually reinstate them.
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) On arrival from witchspace.
Options are persistent between sessions with the same save game.
Change Log
Version 1.0: 23/11/11 – Initial release.
Version 1.1: 24/11/11 – Fixed dodgy condition checks for the ‘rank’ string. Incorporated a number of code tweaks for efficiency suggested by Svengali.
To Do
Look to code a display of (if systems visited in current galaxy <= 128, systems visited) or (if systems visited > 128, systems left to visit).
Make options configurable via OXPconfig rather than in-house screen.
