Oolite Bulletins

I am out of ideas. I am sorry, I don't know what is happening there. Oolite just can't receive the pixel format it's asking for, even though it is present in the driver. Maybe it's an issue with the OpenGL part of the driver, but I have no idea what to do to get it fixed at this point.

OK, one last try, then I think I will have to give up. Let's see if another app that tries to enable specifically scRGB hdr works. The test app is SKIV, a superb image viewer and format converter created by the author of SpecialK. Download from here: https://we.tl/t-lCg9lFSiJF (just one 5.4MB exe fi...

That last log and the visualinfo output were really helpful I think. Here is the rundown of what I believe happens: The AMD driver cannot get Oolite to render in the pixel format it requests on startup. While Oolite wants a 16-bit float RGBA output buffer, it only gets an 8-bit integer one, which is...

I am sensing a driver problem. This here is an anomaly: 23:17:34.380 [display.initGL]: Trying 16-bpcc, 24-bit depth buffer 23:17:34.976 [display.initGL]: Achieved color / depth buffer sizes (bits): 23:17:34.977 [display.initGL]: Red: 8 23:17:34.977 [display.initGL]: Green: 8 23:17:34.977 [display.in...

Could one craft an oxp which would detect the monitor used and tweak the laser appearance accordingly?

No, the data of the monitor used is not exposed to scripting.

I'm avoiding reinstalling the driver for now, because so far everything points to the fact that the problem can be solved programmatically. Actually, it really can be solved - just need to understand what reshade does differently than it is implemented in Oolite. We know exactly what reshade does d...

Due to source code changes that make use of the incoming Windows 11 24H2 APIs, there is a new version of the development environment up. You will need this in order to be able to compile the game post commit a7af91f. Link in first post updated, you can download the new environment from https://drive...

The file you are modifying is cached, that's why you don't see your changes applied.

To force a cache rebuild, hold Shift down while the game is starting up. Your changes will be applied then.

I am thinking of letting go of this or maybe get it in the code in a disabled state in case anyone would want to revisit it in the future. The problem I have is admittedly an unexpected one: lasers do not look the same between sdr and HDR game modes. They look distinctly different, with the sdr vers...

I am now starting to wonder if you happen to have one of those wide color gamut monitors that have a hardware or firmware switch to change modes from wcg (sdr) to HDR and vice versa. Would you mind sharing your monitor specs? Just to be sure that I understand, can you please confirm the following: -...

I think it should be part of one of the flavors.

If you intend to include it in a flavor, remember that in tis latest published form this OXP doubles the game difficulty. It gives shields to NPCs.

This is a failure to allocate memory for a texture. Are you low on RAM? We will need to see the full log, it may contain critical information not present in the last few lines.

Check out this link, do you get access? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByCxD7Tzau-cfld6Q3BhTWcwY2hQbmIzUzV2N0tqN2p1dmlqMEZaeWYtMTZZeUdGY3FseXM?resourcekey=0-3WjIb3GNGLDp-twrSyDxWg It contains versions back to 1.62 alpha. Not all versions come with source code though. However, the screen you...
