Oolite Bulletins

First thing: Active script: PlanetFall2 2.5 Version 2.6 is in the download manager. Probably won't make a difference, but worth updating. Can you add this line of code to "planetFall2_worldScript.js" at around line 984 : log(this.name, "checking condition script for " + pfKeys[i]...

Thanks for the report. I’ll get onto this shortly.

I would guess the other way round: Oolite is too old to properly support the XBox controllers. The XBox One controller worked without a hitch - plug in and away I went. The firmware of the 360 controller *might* need updating, but that’s all I can suggest at the moment without a controller to test ...

Features added in 1.91 mean I can do things differently to how I do them for 1.90. The difference exists in the plist files, rather than in JS, so I can’t simply do an internal version check to work out which plist file to use. I also can’t override all the equipment items to add a condition script,...

I’ve now added this to the expansion manager in two versions, one with a minimum Oolite version of 1.91, and one with a maximum Oolite version of 1.90, so, fingers crossed, you should only be able to install one version of it.

If you do wish to go ahead and transmogrify it into a scenario, I'd be happy to come up with a list of permissible oxps (SniperLock, etc.).

That one's at the bottom of a long list I'm afraid! I've far bigger fish to fry.

I'd expected the Astrofarms to be virtually identical to the Astrofactories in terms of location...

I put the Astrofarms between the sun and the main planet, rather than the WP and main planet. You know, mixing it up a bit.

1) should this OXP be classified as a "cheat" for the moment? Good question. Vanila Oolite has the ASC; this just makes it more legible. I don't think providing the distances is a cheat by itself; more info but not really actionable. However, if you opt for the extended option, which give...

Wired/USB (apologies for delayed response).

When I direct connect my XBox One controller, it immediately shows up in Oolite as the current joystick. Does that not happen for you?

OK, thanks to MrFlibble and cag, I've got a fix in place that should eliminate the Telescope visual targets from showing up in the list of beacons. I'm planning on a big update day tomorrow, so I'll get it in the DM then.

Is it really worth rejigging the entire OXP suite as a scenario just for that? Remember, a scenario excludes every single jolly OXP not listed as "allowed"! Thus you can't add in Aaron Aarts' Amazing Adventures, SniperLock (vital for crummy combatists such as myself) or even an Email Syst...

Does the “Save in flight” mod not work for you?

But what if we configure one dedicated support forum to allow uploads and expire the posts and messages after one month? That should allow users to more easily show what they've got while at the same time limiting the growth. We could as well give it a try and see where it goes, revisiting this dec...

I am wondering why the ship gets a fighter, then looses one while in the screenshot it should have gotten more and more... Because that's what it does in the code: this.playerBoughtEquipment = function(equipmentKey) { if(equipmentKey === "EQ_TIE_F" || equipmentKey === "EQ_TIE_I"...

I'd need to refresh my memory on how the scenario system works.
