Oolite Bulletins

i had the same problem with the rock hermit locator... I added 5 seconds of wait before a bouy for the rockhermit would be spawned... which solved the problem that spawned multiple instances of other objects.. look here for discussion... https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=3735&highlight=roc...

It seems that the racing rings in Zaonce and Lave are the culprit for an odd overpopulation to the system the rings are present. In my first jump from Lave to Zaonce i encountered at least 6 con-stores (instead of one) from Dr Nil's PutYourAdHere.oxp 2-3 leviathans and space dredgers and numerous m...

Ahh! So that is what is wrong with them! duh! The inverted colour of the flamekrait-bottom has been bugging me for years. (finding the filetype in XP can be difficult if the file has been renamed incorrectly, probably going outside win to the DOS-shell would make extensions visible on short names. ...

I now have Windows installed, and Oolite runs fine under Parallels (especially with full shader mode, which improves performance noticeably). I haven’t tried to build it yet.

XP or Vista ?

I stated I game from scratch in order to test ver 1.70. Is it normal that in some shipyards in galaxy one I can buy ships from Assassins oxp ? (vintage adders ect). I was under the impression that only if you finish all the missions of this oxp those ships can be unlocked. Afaik Assasins was design...

Need to get (urgh) Windows, since Parallels supports hardware acceleration of OpenGL with Windows. Don't do it! Noooooo! Seriously, I'm surprised at the 13fps on a new computer. I used to get 50 on a Celeron 2.67. Can I help? Well i´m not that surprised, the current drivers outthere has serious Iss...

sounds like getting Vista ;-(.. i know you have mac though..

which means the Rock Hermit Locator also do not work in 1.7

havent gotten around to test it...

i think Ahruman was optimizing the clouds in 1.69, could you try 1.69.1 or 1.69 first an tell if it is the same result ?

btw im running a FX5200 LV128... wiht 128 mb of ram...

also have you set shaders to simple or full.. you can do that in the game options within the game

Had the same problem with square stars and nebulas all messed up. Took out all OXPs and no problem. I suspect somthing is rotten in the states of an OXP somwhere. Putting OXPs back in one at a time. Let you know if I find the culprit.

yes yes blame it on us...

I think he’s threatening to take over and do all the work for me. Oh, how terrible that would be. (BTW, it’s entirely possible to do Oolite dev work on a PC.) i have a tendency to get mixed up in coding in the projects i´m interrested in... however... my time scheduele dont allow for this..

Yeah, what’s up with that, anyway? *shakes fist at lazy developers*

luckly i´m on PC...

but anything wider than say 65 meters would have hard time docking with an Anaconda Could you have an invisible docking bay outside but touching the Anaconda, thereby effectively providing external docking? Not sure how to go about this... since i cant make anything invisible, i could make a very s...

Maybe it could be possible to dock with a derelict Anaconda? You could find yourself at a "trading screen" where everything's free, free, free! Quite possible. However, it would depend on your ship... for example the cobra is 130 meters wide, while the Anaconda is only 70 meters wide... i...
