This tool gives you the ability to configure several OXPs.

* '''logging''': en/disables the extended logging in OXPConfig. This is quite verbose and slows down the whole processing and it's primary goal is to give developers insight in the internal ongoings and to locate problems.
 
−
* '''logEarly''': en/disables the logging of OXPs which have set the EarlyCall flag. If OXPConfig calls the startUp it will log this event. Additionally this switch is for measuring the time OXPConfig needs for it's own startUp, including collecting data from all OXPs, calling the startUp's, building it's search trees and applying settings. The time is quantised in units of maybe 50/60ms or 16 ms or 10ms or ..., depending on system.
 
−
* '''displayAll''': en/disables collecting data from all OXPs which are declaring oxpcSettings. If false OXPConfig will only check OXPs which are in it's internal database and removes entries which are not declaring the necessary settings.
 
−
* '''collectAll''': en/disables collecting of data from all worldScripts. This can be pretty slow if hundreds of OXPs are installed and in combination with logging enabled it can lead to aborting by Oolites timelimiter in trunk (though if I haven't seen it yet).
 
  
−
Changes to OXPConfigs displayAll and collectAll require a restart to take effect. All switches are false by default. The integer settings are only there as examples and have no real function for OXPConfig itself.

 +
Faffing about with OXP configuration is anti-immersive (but see [[Station Options]]). This configuration OXP pops up only outside the game (right at the start before you select your game persona or if you have paused gameplay and have selected Game Options). The Library configuration is available while docked, and is utterly unrealistic, even if it is more adaptable.

Overview

Please note:   This AddOn is deprecated. Please use Library for new AddOns. It is, however, more immersive than that Library OXP.

This tool gives you the ability to configure several OXPs. It changes settings to enable (or disable) logging or audio functions, and special settings to recognize errors or to avoid clashes, or to adjust numbers of planets/moons, etc. OXPs can use it in a lot of ways and in most cases it only needs a few additional lines of code.

OXPConfig runs without the debug-console and is primarily meant for non-scripters (and lazy scripters), but if you really need debug-options it is highly recommended to install the Basic-debug.oxp (written by Ahruman) and if necessary the console (written by Ahruman and ported to Windows by Kaks).

Note: This does not clash with Library.oxp's OXP configuration

Handling

  • Dock at a station,
  • open the Options Menu Screen (2/F2),
  • then step to the Game Options (where you can change Oolite's options),
  • wait until you get a message that OXPConfig is activated (bottom left corner of screen),
  • and step directly to the SYSTEM DATA SCREEN (F7).
  • Modify settings and step to the main menu.

The changes have been applied to the OXPs, but nothing is stored yet. To do it:

  • Choose Store configuration.
  • Then exit OXPConfig and save the game as usual. If these two steps are skipped the changes remain temporary.

Features

  • Loading, storing and resetting to defaults of configurations.
  • 4 booleans.
  • 4 short unsigned integers (0xff).
  • 1 unsigned 24Bit integer (0xffffff) that is used as bitmask e.g. to en/disable appearance of entities.
  • Minimum version checks.
  • Early calls of OXPs startUp function if flag is set.
  • Early settings if OXPConfig has collected the data and flag is set.
  • Notification for OXPs about changed settings if flag is set. Calls oxpcNotifyOnChange().
  • User Definable Colors - for supporting OXPs.
  • Dump declared sounds - logs them to Latest.log.
  • Dump missionVariables - logs them to Latest.log.
  • Dump worldScript properties - logs them to Latest.log.

For Oolite v1.76.1:


More information is available in the OXPConfig Documentation.

Warning

XenonUI may interfere with the Search via Keyboard option

Immersion

Faffing about with OXP configuration is anti-immersive (but see Station Options). This configuration OXP pops up only outside the game (right at the start before you select your game persona or if you have paused gameplay and have selected Game Options). The Library configuration is available while docked, and is utterly unrealistic, even if it is more adaptable.

To tweak Library.oxp so that the more immersive OXPConfig is used instead see here (NiteOwl, 2022).

If you go back, OXP Config eventually configured the following:
