Houston. This is Atlantis. We're ready to change name to Pink Anaconda. Thomas will put new stickers during EVA-1

Negative Atlantis, the designated name has now been changed to fluffy brick.

really handy add-on!! thanks!

Very shiny! :thumbup:

Awsome idea very useful Thanks.

Interesting video. How on earth do you code with that colour scheme? It hurt my eyes

Just a Question, Would it be hard/time consuming to compile for O06? I don't mind doing it myself, but i don't know what would have to be done. Preferably before 9 pm EDT(-5 hours)

The default black on white color scheme is horrible if you work in dim lights, at least for me. Besides, this scheme looks epic

Give me roughly ten minutes (downloading the 06 base package)

Very handy addon. :thumbup:

Does this help with Spacecraft 3 naming troubles? (I'm guessing no, as even if the name were changed it would CTD upon reloading.)

You are right, you would CTD upon reloading a saved scenario with modified spacecraftx.dll vessel names. However from the testing I have done you should have no trouble in modifying the vessel name while in simulation.

EDIT:

06 version attached.

I agree with that, though I use a custom yellow/white on dark blue (with other colors for numbers or symbols), like it was in Borland C++ or Pascal for DOS.

Thanks, should make preparing launches for my stations more realistic.

Neat!

Would anyone be able to add notes to the namechange MFD saying line by line what this code is doing? It seems relatively simple, but I still can't decipher the code yet.

Is it assured that the buffer pointed to by the GetName()-pointer is big enough to hold the new name?

When I experimented with SC3-based vessels in O2K6P1, I used a similar approach to rename the vessels, but found it to be unreliable due to buffer over-runs and subsequent CTDs.

It doesn't matter in an OHM thread. :thumbup:
