About this OXP

This OXP provides a way to quickly switch the style of your ship, using whatever OXP player templates you have installed of the same class type. That is, if you are flying a Cobra Mark III, and you have Z_Groovy's Variety Packs installed, you can quickly and easily give your ship a new paint job, without having to mess about in the save game file.

For this OXP to do anything useful you need to have some extra ship OXP's installed. For instance:

You can get a lot of additional shipsets from the download manager inside Oolite.

Once this OXP is installed a menu will appear on the ship outfitting screen, labelled "Ship Respray". When you select this, a new screen will appear, listing all the available resprays for your ship. Select one of these, and you can then see what the respray will look like on your ship. Some ship models use the "entityPersonality" to adjust the look of the ship. You can select a random personality by selecting "Change personality".

Once you have selected a model, and found a personality look-and-feel you like, to go ahead with the paint job, select "Purchase this respray" from the menu. The amount of time it will take to do the respray is showing on the menu item, and can be anywhere from 24 to 60 hours, depending on the size of the vessel.

This OXP uses the Ship Storage Helper to update the players ship to the selected model.

This OXP is slightly different to the "Respray for Griffs" OXP by Capt Murphy, as this will work with OXP's other than Griffs, and in no-shader mode.

Version History

1.0.1

  • For Oolite 1.82 and later, added an "installation_time" of 1 second to the equipment item, so opening the respray screen doesn't take any time.
  • For Oolite 1.80, changed the cost of the equipment item to zero, so only 10 minutes of time is taken up when opening the initial page.
  • Added a mass-based installation time calculation to the end of the process. So, respraying a Boa takes longer than respraying an Adder.
  • The "Purchase this respray" option now also includes the installation time.
  • Fixed a bug where doing a respray, buying a new ship and doing another respray could end up with a confused menu.
  • Code cleanup

1.0.0

  • Initial release
