Interesting code architecture. But the way you describe sounds applicable to one cpu/one process. If rendering and game logic are decoupled, can't they take advantage running on multiple cores? Draw calls on the CPU will always be a lot, lot slower than on GPU no matter how well you might implement...

Do I understand correctly the FPS rate is not only used to render the graphics but resembles the speed of the game loop and therefore the rate for polling the input devices? Render fps and game logic ticks are decoupled, the game can tick up to a minimum of 0.25 sec (which is why you will never see...

13 - 15 FPS Looks like you are running on software 3D acceleration; this framerate is extremely low and carries tremendous input lag, which probably explains why keys need to be presses more than once sometimes. Oolite should easily be able to hit 60+ fps at the very least on any OS (assuming prude...

You should now have an invitation for the oolite-debug-console repo in your mailbox.

By the way, if somebody knows how to have a texture on a model be 100% lit, regardless of it's alignment to the sun, could you drop me a hint or two? The dark tunnel on one section of the video is due to the alignment of the player on launch causing it to be in shadow. You need to override the shad...

Do users really have to touch the settings apart from the expansion manager download URL?

No they don't. And with 1.91, they don't have to do anything about the download url either.

Not on the Windows port, because we are distributing just the gnustep-base dll with the game and nothing else from the gnustep framework. BTW, we do have the defaults.exe program in the Development Environment for Windows under https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-windows-build-env/tree/main/gcc/...

Version 0.2 is now in the Expansion Manager. The wiki page has also been updated (Cholly, thanks for setting it up).
Unpiloted entities no longer generate red alert.

For clarity's sake and to be consistent in terminology in the above line change unlocked to online . Confused me for a bit until the OXZ was actually used and the context became clear. Weapons unlocked can either be the same as weapons online or can be easily confused with not having a weapons lock...

Intentions to have it on the Expansion Manager?

Eventually yes. Just needs a bit of testing in the field before that.

Have you noticed what happens sometimes when you encounter other ships in the Ooniverse? Initially the encounter may appear friendly or neutral, minding its own business, then all of a sudden its blip goes red on the scanner, your red alert goes off and you are now under attack. But the ship has not...
