Re: Joysticks

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 ...

XBox 360 Controller?

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 ...

Re: 1pm 7th July 2024 - Oolite Anniversary Party (London)

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 ...

Re: Coyote's Run mission

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...

Re: Fantastic Books Kickstarter

So how many other Ooliters are in on the new Kickstarter? I'm going to have to let Dan sort out my Veteran uplift - since I've pledged for boxed set of four hardbacks but already pledged for paperbacks of Drew's and Allen Stroud's books (and I have two versions of Fusion already (Kindle and a Smashw...

She was a great writer, and the only winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature to have written sci-fi (I think) - Canopus in Argos: Archives was strangely excellent.

Re: Another KickStarter - 8-bit oldtimers - Hewson Games

I played Paradroid, Uridium and AlleyKat* to completion and then when I got my Amiga I played Pinball Dreams a lot, really, really, a lot.

(Andrew Braybrook was my programming hero - what he managed to get the C64 to do was quite astonishing)

Another KickStarter - 8-bit oldtimers - Hewson Games

This KS has already reached its funding level - but I wouldn't want anybody to miss out!
