Library.OXP

Disambiguation:

Oolite abounds with libraries!
Are you looking for

• A Library in the programmer's sense: reusable code that people writing OXPs can use. That is to say instead of everyone writing a javascript method to land on a planet, one person does so and everyone else uses that:

• Library.oxp - see below on this page
• Cabal Common Library.oxp

• A library of books or of ship/station descriptions:

• Ship Library on the starting game screen - descriptions of ships, stations, asteroids and missiles mostly from the Vanilla game
• View Ship Specifications - as above, but on the F4/4 Ship-Station Interface screen when docked
• Gallery OXP does something similar to the above but with all encountered items
• Technical Reference Library OXP - similar to Gallery but includes non-encountered ships.
• Ship's Library OXP: by Cim (with the Ship's Manual; a half-dozen library books are addable)

The last four are accessed through the F4/4 Ship-Station Interface screen when docked - all under Ship Systems

Overview

Reinventing the wheel is not everybody's taste, so here comes a collection of useful snippets and helpers. Its main purpose is to simplify or unify some common tasks used by OXPers. Library is the successor to CCL, Hyperradio and OXPConfig. The library does not alter any native JS objects (like Array or String) to avoid clashes and does not clutter the global namespace.

This oxp also adds the following items to the F4 ship-station interface page:

• Config for AddOns (AddOns category) - for tweaking OXPs
• PAD (Captain's Log category) - a personal assistance device with details of naval career, people met, etc.
