AddEquip()

New page

Equipment seem to have evolved a bit too much to be handled via the Lua Console. Old example:

*Add the specified amount of equipment or cargo to the players ship

require "Game".player:AddEquip("equip", amount)

Amount can be omitted, and cargo capacity applies. [http://eatenbyagrue.org/f/pioneer/codedoc/files/LuaConstants-cpp.html#Constants.EquipType Available equipment and cargo.]

 All text in Pioneer is translatable, and the game ships with several translations. Here's everything you need to know.
 == For translators ==
-All our translations are managed through [http://transifex.com Transifex], a free web-based translation service. To start writing translations, sign up there, using [https://app.transifex.com/signup/open-source/ this link], and then take a look at the [https://app.transifex.com/pioneer/pioneer/dashboard/ Pioneer project]. You can either use the web-interface, or download the full file, and edit off line, and then re-upload.

 Changes to translations are automatically pulled into the master git repo, from Transifex, twice per day, and from there to the builds when they're next run.

 If you want to translate Pioneer to an entirely new language, please [https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/issues open an issue] on the tracker and someone will create the translation for you.
-English is the canonical language for Pioneer. As such, you can't directly modify the english strings through Transifex. If you want to change those, you'll need to make the change in the source code hosted on GitHub and submit a pull request like for a normal code change. However, do note that changes to the english text will trigger re-translation of that string in all other languages, thus there should be a good motivation why a string is changed (e.g. spelling/grammar).

 Lua console allows you to manipulate the game universe by injecting lua code directly into the game engine. You can open the console in-game by pressing '`' (default key, you can change it in the keybinding options).

 Due to the evolving code of pioneer, we still sometimes need to change the save format, making all previous saves useless. In this case, you can give your player character back what he had, by manually cheating:
