There are quite a few small examples in the README. Also, you can define new functions for future use by adding them to the init.py file (see the file for a few examples).

Other than that, yes, copy/paste is the best way. I wanted something simple for the non-programmer and that wasn't too hard for me to code. If there is enough interest, I can add a second interface where you can just run code directly from a file.

I've found a "bug" when generating "zigzag's" that cross 180 longitude, it will generate positions that go around the world vice crossing the dateline correctly

Yes, that makes sense (I actually sort of considered it would happen, but didn't think it serious). I'll check where the boundary is (in coordinates) and add the appropiate safeguards for 0.4.

Thanks,

having a problem with "cargoExt & cargoInt". When I use/change them get "error" saying that these item are read only. Was using them in contection with editing / creating merchants.

also

is there code to "randomly" selecting "crewratings" ?

^^^ wow, that would be an amazing set of functionality. The ability to pick a number of objects (which it does now) then repopulate some fields with values from a list of possible values randomly.

You can do this after a fashion now by having a few ships of the same type with a % chance of appearing, each with a different crew rating, the only problem being you might very well see ALL of them at once. Sometimes you might want only 1 ship, but of variable skill (or internal/external cargo, etc)

Here some test code that I'm working on, it's for Japanese Convoys ( 41a / 42a /42b /43a / 44a / 44b.

I've play test this and some other code for Merchants / TF / SubHunters, and let be the one to tell you, "patrols" are no longer boring

Damn.

I wish I knew half of what that was doing, looks pretty interesting, though.

Wow, those are pretty extensive changes. I have created a monster!

Seeing the kind of things people are doing, next version will definitely have a "run script from file" option. Let's see if I have time to put it together tomorrow.

Not per se, but it's really easy to create your own:

Code:

unit.crewRating=choice((CrewRating.POOR, CrewRating.NOVICE, CrewRating.COMPETENT))

That will select a random element from that list. Add or remove elements at will. You can also edit init.py to add a function that does that as shorthand.

Can you create a list with the same entry twice?

For example:

Code:

unit.crewRating=choice((CrewRating.COMPETENT, CrewRating.COMPETENT, CrewRating.COMPETENT, CrewRating.COMPETENT, CrewRating.COMPETENT, CrewRating.COMPETENT, CrewRating.VETERAN, CrewRating.VETERAN, CrewRating.VETERAN, CrewRating.ELITE))

The idea would be that without other coding it would quickly give a 10% chance of Elite, 30% vet, 60% Competant.
