This looks absolutely brilliant! I'm trying to build your master branch but it's failing. Is it something I need to do on my side? Some additional dependency I'm missing? I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 /home/zonkmachine/builds/pioneer/src/editor/system/GalaxyEditAPI.cpp: In static member function ‘static void ...

I added a passage on Format, the Pioneer string manipulation utility. https://wiki.pioneerspacesim.net/wiki/Strings_and_translation#PiGUI_-_String_formatting It's not clear to me what parts of Format are C++ and what is Lua. It seem to me that the C++ side is represented on codedoc while the Lua stu...

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 ...
