Oolite Bulletins

And yet another: Robert Triflinger (Captain Beatnik) produced 4 different Coluber Racers, each with its own HUD. https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11206 Sorry to say so but the first download I tried is still valid, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be added to the manager, I will add to...

When the subject of AI, fly-by-wire, and automation, comes up, you'll often hear an old saying thrown into the conversation. It's origins are lost in the mists of time, as is its meaning. But for some reason it lingers on: If it's Boeing, I ain't going! It sounds so-o-o-o much better when pronounce...

And yet another: Robert Triflinger (Captain Beatnik) produced 4 different Coluber Racers , each with its own HUD! https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11206 And another: M-pack (Rusties) http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Second-hand_ships And another: Registration ID http://wiki.alioth.net...

AI in the Oolite universe is massively dangerous, and viewed with some horror. Hence the almost complete absence of automation, and what there is - docking computers, homing missiles - is very simplistic. Hence, also, the lack of robots and the presence of slaves. I could credit that if limited to ...

Can anybody explain - in English - what this OXP is supposed to do?

And is it still relevant for Oolite v.1.90?

Just been working through Stranger's Hard Way wiki page and came across this: Turn rate in yaw/pitch channels One can use both max_flight_pitch and max_flight_yaw parameters in the shipdata.plist, but usually the last is omitted and by default is equal to max_flight_pitch. It seems that the NPCs nev...

If you read the thread, it supposedly worked for AppleMacs too.

Just discovered that if one searches our wiki: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Special:UnusedFiles - choose to view 500

You unearth a massive treasure trove of some 1000 or so unused (ie unlinked) files which include a horde of old versions of oxp's/oxz's.

I found this: Aha! Shutting the computer off the 'hard way' would also prevent oolite from cleaning up after itself, same as a crash. Good to know you got your system sorted out! If you're ever in the same situation again you can always press f12 to switch to windowed mode, where you'd be able to se...

Soooo it seems quiet in here of late but no matter. I'm JD. I first played Elite in an old BBC micro then an Archimedes (Acorn all the way). Played Oolite up until about 6 years ago. Switched my Mac out and lost everything. Time went by, got married, had a child and a new career but something deep ...

Tried that one, but got the error:- 16:35:39.852 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (RandomStationNames 1.00): TypeError: this.ship is undefined Tried it as:- this.shipSpawned = function(ship) { this.$renameMonkStations(); if(ship.hasRole("blackmonk_monast...

Apropos, who in the Randomius-forsaken Ooniverse ever needs to roll their ship?? We're not playing WW2 here - these jalopies are 40th Century state-of-the-art: compensators and thrusters out the earholes and fully fly-by-wire; press [right] and head right, press [left] and head left... IMO, The Ool...

I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate How to become Elite? 1550 Kills. I'm dangerous. How long until you become Elite? How can I speed up the process? Are there not several missions which award you multiple kills on completion? By the way, Do you happen to have a keyconfig.plist adapted for ...

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Commandant STyx!

Posting on wiki NOW!

And I hope you had a Joyeux Noël (or as much as possible under the current circumstances!) - and all the best for a bonne année!!

Regarding ships shapes, it is very obvious the internal views (2/F2 to 4/F4 keys) are not cockpit based but upon digital cameras instead. I deserve right to 1/F1 to be a true windshield (spaceshield? :wink:), though it will be wise to add it to the modifications as well. So, by making these as part...
