1. Reset selected system after hyperspace jump After a hyperspace jump, very typically I want to open the current system map (either to check info, or set a target, etc). The current game does not reset the "selected system" after a jump which, to me at least, is somewhat confusing. My co...

No, as you've no doubt noticed there's plenty of obsolete code examples on the wiki, because we've changed how things are done, how modules are imported, etc. Yes, well, I'm updating it now. This time it became obsolete a bit faster because I erroneously relied on onShipDocked to work in a certain ...

Why, what? You mean the move to markdown?

I would consider splitting onGameStart into two different events. In my mind when I see onGameStart I think of game time 0, when the clock start ticking away. Maybe split it into onGameLoad , for when a game is loaded, and onGameStart , which would be akin to a default timer set to go off at time 0?...

Great idea!

We have onGameStart, ... onGameStart doesn't quite work. From the beginning of this topic: https://forum.pioneerspacesim.net/viewtopic.php?p=6836#p6836 I see that sturnclaw already recommended creating a timer and I'll look into that method but I would like to try and find a simpler method for some...

git bisect pointed to this PR but maybe that's where it happened. Any idea what other event could act as a substitute?

I'm looking over the tutorial again and it's seeing issues since last time. After #5619 / Implement manual docking with orbital , some of the script examples has stopped working. We use onShipDocked to connect the simpler test scripts to the game. and this seem to no longer work. Just save this in d...

In Pioneer the atmosphere is selected for one metric only, m_atmosOxidizing. The problem with this is that you end up with small bodies having atmospheres of predominantly light elements like H2 and He while in reality they are the first to be lost to atmospheric escape if the mass is too low and/or...
