Oolite Bulletins

layer has been the first parameter in this method since its entry into the codebase in October 2014. It looks like the wiki had it wrong for a while.

Edit: Also, key is named property in the code.

Could someone please check whether Windows artifacts are ok as well? Confirmed, the correct PDFs are now packaged with the Windows installer too. In case it can be of help in the future, the Windows installer executables are accessible as LZMA archives by 7-zip. At least on Windows, I can open them...

Maybe after the PDFs are created the installer script that runs to do the final packaging overwrites them with the wrong ones by just doing a blind copy of the Doc folder? Seems like a logical explanation, maybe worth checking it out.

Why not just revert to using the actual PDFs in the source tree instead of outdated dummy ones? Here is some justification: 1. If the PDFs are needed to complete local installer builds, might as well use the actual correct ones there. I note that release builds of the game should always be manually ...

No, I downloaded from GitHub.

Plus the odt document is bundled into future releases - if there are any.

Actually, just checked and this is not the case. The current pre-release installers contain the outdated PDFs instead of the current ones.

You wrote this almost 20 years ago. A lot has changed since then. What do you think now?

I think that both games are great and I still prefer Oolite.

Only the PDF Reference Sheet is outdated. The .odt (LibreOffice) source Reference Sheet file found in the same Doc folder on github is fully up to date.

So one downloads it manually via the wiki page and then bungs it (manually) inside your ManagedAddOns folder (since as an OXZ it has a manifest.plist). Please do not place anything inside ManagedAddOns, this folder is designed to be used by the Expansion Manager. If you do throw OXZs in there manua...

Indeed it is.

Just remembered, you also need to have the FPS thingy enabled with Shift+F when you use the arrow keys. That must be the missing detail.

Oh, that one should have the feature enabled too.

Right / left arrow keys while in pause. But you need the Test Release version of the game, this feature is disabled in the standard deployment one.
