Oolite Bulletins

Вот ещё нашёл, дополнение Combat_Simulator v1.1 каким то образом блокирует вывод приветствия внизу экрана. I've just released an update for Combat Simulator, which now hides the HUD if the HUD doesn't support big GUI's. Hiding the HUD does not, however, explain why other OXPs are interfering with a...

We need EQ_VIDEOPHONE, EQ_CALENDAR, any other excuse to add pictures of pretty girls to Oolite. I thought you'd already done it ! More excuses? Yes, more excuses. I did have a calendar script that rotated the background image on a mission screen after x dayChanged events. I never finished it becaus...

...Human in-system passengers can just ride in the cockpit. But what if they haven't washed, and smell? Or if they're lobstoids and have not hermetically sealed their exo-skeletal joints? Vagrants can't afford the fare. Lobstoids =/= human. Why, seriously why do you people insist on over-complicati...

I've noticed a common cause of savefile bloat for myself is that I like to try out OXPs for a while and then remove them if I decide I didn't like them after all. Is it safe to manually delete keys associated with OXPs that aren't there any more, or is there a risk of ruining the save or causing un...

Mein Gott! Your penchant for over-complicating things shines like a beacon of turbulent bifurcation in a stream of previously laminar flow. Hello. The fully self-contained passenger cabins (a variation of the escape pod) are for interstellar travellers, and non-human passengers who have specific, in...

... Perhaps we should add some more bogus equipment? A salvaged reversible Galactic Hyperdrive? A salvaged coffee-maker? A salvaged bubble-bath? Salvaged Naval Shields? Salvaged Naval Lasers?

We need EQ_VIDEOPHONE, EQ_CALENDAR, any other excuse to add pictures of pretty girls to Oolite.

More playing around and doing some testing. I have gotten a base construction to render windows. They support blending with the background, as you can see. Using this technique, it might even be possible to create movable, fully interactive windows that can have... well, anything, really. Have a lo...

Just stumbled across this: The text display area is 512 units wide, regardless of window size.

Presumably there are height constraints as well.

480 units high, lines of 16 units each. I always thought the display area was a square, 480 wide, too.

I don't suppose the system allows showing destinations in an abbreviated form?

Be specific, please? What is "the system"? What is "destinations"?

Hmm, I just docked in a Proto-Coriolis at Beenri and the market lists slaves at 2576980475.5 cr/t. Did a value wrap around?

Does it look like a station from a very old OXP? In any case, try to identify exactly what station from which OXP, and Cholly will fix its market definition.

There were a number of massive changes in Oolite which transpired with v.1.80 & v.1.82. A number of our more distinguished OXP authors allegedly threw up their hands in disgust and fled into the waiting mandibles of the Witchspace Lobster, to be engulfed. One or two managed to escape torment af...

Do you mean something like this? Noisy_Passengers_0.1.oxz Bryon Arn took yours and transmogrified it into Passenger Comms (3 years after you left?). I re-read that 2014 thread this morning; that was a pleasant trip down memory lane. Thankyou, Cholly, I had wondered why that Noisy Passengers script ...

Incidentally, is there an OXP and/or plans for making passengers more active during the trip? Some ideas that come to mind: Making random comments during flight. Making panicked or encouraging comments during dogfights. Grumbling when the ship has been stuck in docking queue for more than 5 minutes...
