Oolite Bulletins

OK, so I shot it a couple of times, I hoped there might be some cargo, but No, Nothing ! Except 1 single piece of Alloy, that's all, from a ship which retails for I-have-no-idea-how-much ! 50 grand ? 100 thou ? 200 K ?

I spose I should learn how to code OXPs ?

Maybe, but don't hold yer breath. . .

I just picked up a few cargo pods and a couple of escape caps, what do I do with a loose ship ?

It has forward-back, left-right and up-down, (6 degrees of freedom) and 12 mappable buttons. Plugs into the old 9-pin serial port. http://reviews.cnet.com/sc/9687116-2-200-0.gif The driver cd has files from 2000, including win32 and unix folders ; I'm running XP Pro. A demo is included, seems to wor...

Couldn't resist running from Start-Programs. Immediately a HUGE huge improvement, thank you all so much ! Now I really gotta sleep. In a minute...

Thanks again.

Thanks for your responses, it's really encouraging that I can probably fix my gear here to get the game to work...

I guess I assumed the welly of a couple of Xeons would handle something that used to run on my old BBC model B ! Yes it's a business PC, I thought it if it handles Autocad and stuff, surely that's enough ? I have a Radeon x800 card here, would that improve things ? Sorry, I'm really not up on gaming...

D/l from oolite.org. I first tried the earlier version, got prob-prob-problems. So I tried the beta version (1.75 or something ?), same probs, so I persevered, and finally posted the problems as listed

The batch file contains this - "@echo off set GNUSTEP_PATH_HANDLING=windows set GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Oolite\oolite.app set GNUSTEP_NETWORK_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Oolite\oolite.app set GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Oolite\oolite.app set HOMEPATH=C:\Program Files\Oolite\oolit...

Wow ! Thanks for the quick response ! I followed install instructions, there is an MS-Dos batch file RunOolite, in Program Files\Oolite folder which runs Oolite. Is that not how it goes ?

A newbie, obviously, so I'm starting a new thread, I hope the moderator can find an appropriate place for this - I played Elite for years, it's the only computer game that caught my interest. So I came across Oolite last week, and that's just great ! But I have a number of problems. First, congratul...
