Oolite Bulletins

We were small but perfectly formed - great to see Giles in person again after so many years. Here's to another 20yrs of Oolite!

If you're at the pub and see someone wearing a yellow red and black Star Wars themed shirt shout out/wave when I arrive as I don't know what anybody looks like as my normally travelling companions @selezen and @drewwagar will be absent.

Well, I've just remembered to book my train ticket, so I'll see you guys tomorrow!

It would be nice to expand Bloomberg to cover the newer OXP commodities. SW Economy adds Water, Oxygen & Medicine, Solar Harvest OXP adds Coronal Plasma ("raw") & Quirium Plasma ("processed"), Fuel Tweaks adds Quirium Fuel, Montanas Resource Pack 01 adds Quirium Crystal ...

Ah, the only "upgrade or die" level of Support. Or, with spoilers made unpolitically visible, "

Indeed. Sadly.

I'll keep my eye out for a cheap 360 controller in the meantime. They show up occasionally on FB Marketplace.

Thank-you. Don't put yourself out, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

Wow. I created that ad (for YAH) and the background for it 15yrs ago! That's a blast from the past.

I think this is where the idea for the Bloomberg OXP came from some time later (based on the various Oolite News channels I created via YAH)

The firmware of the 360 controller *might* need updating, but that’s all I can suggest at the moment without a controller to test with. There's no way to update/check the XBox 360 controller firmware without an XBox 360 - even the XBox Accessories App for Windows does not support this controller an...

Maybe he chopped his wires in half with that sword of his.... ?

With that hood over his beak he might well have problems seeing where he is going...

Ironically, I currently have an eye infection (off to hospital tomorrow)!

When I direct connect my XBox One controller, it immediately shows up in Oolite as the current joystick. Does that not happen for you? Nope - the XBox 360 Controller shows up as HIDI2C inside Oolite and none of the buttons or axes are recognised. If I unplug the 360 controller and plug in my Extrem...

Wired/USB (apologies for delayed response).

It should be possible. I’ve got some XBox one controllers lying around so I might have a go at setting one of them up and report what I find. The process should be similar for an XBox 360 controller. Thank you. I was surprised it didn't so I figured I was just being a numpty. So if you do work out ...

Apologies if this has been discussed before - I promise I did search the whole site for XBox first and then narrowed the search further... Is it possible to use an XBox 360 controller in Oolite? I went to Joystick mapping in-game and it doesn't recognise any of my stick waggles or button presses so ...

Hi Guys, it's been a really long time since I posted here - the story is long and not for this thread - that aside, thanks to @selezen for the heads up - I've put it in my diary and I fully attend to be there (life notwithstanding). It will be amazing to catch up - haven't seen so many of you since ...

All sorted, thanks Cool! Although the OXP follows the tale fairly well, this is Hollywood, and the screenplay does differ somewhat, here and there. Perhaps a kindly Mod could add a warning to the OP: if you use Griff's shipset, do not install the Coyote's Run for Griff OXP contained within the .zip...
