Oolite Bulletins

Thank-You for the criticism Yah-Ta-Hey :D I agree with you on the two points that I can derive from your post. - I neglected to say that these House Rools are entirely optional and are in no way intended to dictate how you should play the game. They are rules variations which may or may not allow yo...

House Rools :?: Introduction Long ago in a galaxy far, far away, I used to play table-top RPGs :oops: . The group I played with used a large variety of different rules systems. We often created rules ourselves to cover situations not defined by the official books, or modified rules to suit our need...

Well, they way things work right now, I get a slight 1-5 second stutter from the game when I jump to a new system. Sometimes it will pause momentarily if there are a large number of ships coming into view. I think this is the result of textures loading up all at once, although I cannot say for sure....

Thanks for the answer, I noticed some of the effects you are talking about. The pilot usually accompanies the loss with a "Damn! There goes my Pulse Laser!" its pretty nice, great OXP

Gonna check these out sounds interesting.

Hi MAWL and welcome... you should try this version of the Griff Krait... it's much better.

Does this OXP replace Griff's Krait OXP?

Nice work sdrubble! I like the disclaimer, someone needs to make a ship called the "Hyper-Uber" :twisted: I've always thought that the Caduceus resembled a male genitive organ (I mean a penis) and with the ball turrets it really takes on a uniquely comical aspect. I'll spare y'all my furth...

MAWL- I am using some very large textures in that OXP. Maybe even the original authoring dimensions... Not sure if I ever reduced them now that I think about it. I can probably make you a version that would utilize far less memory... If you're interested? I would be very interested :D I'm sure that...

Frankly, I'm surprised the Deep Horizons buoy is too complex: I'm running it on a 1GHz p3-m with 1.25G RAM . . . does Oolite itself even run on lower spec machines? I, too was mystified when suddenly my smoothly running Oolite became laggy. I thought I had messed it up somehow. It would hang on a b...

Are there any other Nav Buoys available other than Smiv's and the Deep Horizon one? The former is too simple and the latter too complex(for my system). Thanks and sorry for the Ninja but the topic-title suits the question here

Nice work Smiv! I like the cell-shaded look; kinda matte, kinda not. Can't wait to see the results

I've only had experience on the Cobby I & III so I can't really give a well rounded opinion. Looking at the reference sheet, I see that larger ships are more sluggish while smaller ships are more maneuverable, and this makes sense to me. Obviously, the physics of Oolite are designed to service g...

I would try to run the game clean without any OXPs and see if you still encounter the sound problem. If not an addon, then I would suggest looking at your sound drivers to ensure they are up to date. I have had to switch from ALSA to other mediums with other games I have played, so there may be a co...

I am running on Ubuntu 11.04, I made the same mistakes when I first tried to get Oolite working. It is definitely an inconvenience the way the software center contains V1.65 of Oolite, but I have discovered it is an unreliable application in general not just with regards to Oolite. I am not sure if ...

Thanks much for the welcome! I am finding these boards a delight to read, there are so many intelligent and well-informed players. I've chewed through many games in my day, and I must say I am impressed with the amount of community involvement that Oolite seems to enjoy. I will add my accolades, and...
