Oolite Bulletins

ok Thanks i´ll take a look at those OXps and see what is happening. Bug Confirmed, and fixed.... It was not a bug i could have taken into account... appearently script.plist and AI methods can get mixed up... Since The new Rock Hermit AI was running at the same time as the script.plist that spawns t...

It seems to give me this weird bug where it causes about 4 Pi-Cons or Tescoos to appear instead of just one. Can anyone crack this ? o I assume you mean Beacons with Pi-cons..., but Tescoos, i need you to write plain english or else i cant use your error report for much... I´ll also need informatio...

I know this might be a long shot, but it is available on IRIX after all. Will this be ported to these platforms, as a friend has a Archimidies and has been dying to play on it! I´m assuming you mean Archimedes... The Archimedes is near aincent in Computer Terms As far as i can tell the latest model...

So what's everyone's personal proudest combat moment, then? When i got Ambushed by 2 Imperial Couries v 1.0, and two Griff Kraits + 1 standard ship i dont recall anymore, while i was flying my Boa Class Cruiser the "Merx Serendipitous" And killed them all, with only about a single Energy ...

ohh i recall that... that was... yeah...

Before The Internet...

And of course they're named 'Rock Hermit' instead of 'Asteroid' if you lock onto them. True, but when there are 30+ objects in your scope it's kind of hard to pick them out.:) What I've tried to do is blast all asteroids, either eliminating them from the viewscreen or rendering them into boulders, ...

Edit #2 I just uploaded a new version of the Rock Hermit Locator of Fame: http://wiki.alioth.net/images/4/48/Rock_Hermit_Locator1.2.zip I included the original version 1.1 of Fame and a new version 1.2 that only works on oolite 1.70 upwards. Completely written in JS. With the JS version it is also p...

Nice Another mystery ship... Lets see Cougar, Salamandar, and This... I cant beleive these ships made it to implementation into the game, and never got anything attached to it like a mission... That said, i never played Elite A, only The commodore 64 version, where i did encounter What might have be...

The E-bomb inflicts 1,000 points of damage (or there abouts) to everything in range. A Cobra III has 350 points. Even the fearsome tiger or Imperial Courier only have 500! Some ships can survive an e-bomb i´m pretty sure the Commodore 64 version E bomb didn´t have that kind of power, A Thargoid War...

I think I met him a few times here. :) One of those things that make me real tired: I used a coworker's growth medium and i inadvertantly contaminated it. Being the good guy that is me, I set out to replace the medium and make some for myself as well. All is well, it is a simple medium, but still I...

Not tested:

• GUI_SCREEN_MAIN

As far as I remember GUI_STRING_MAIN works (at least as of 1.65). But it's only used when not docked (it's the view out of the cockpit).

Commander Mclane.. i hate to be nitpicking but did you mean

GUI_SCREEN_MAIN

and not

GUI_STRING_MAIN

I have a suspicion that Oolite will crash if the number of polygons in a model is less than the limit, but they subdivide into more than 512/800 triangles. I can’t say for sure, because I don’t entirely understand Giles’s model-loading code… it’s one of the many things I want to give a good going-o...

very nice looking! reminds me of a star trek episode slightly... ^^ too bad there aren't spinal mounted capitol ship weapons in oolite! ;D what about borrowing the rock hermit's set up a bit and make a dockable area up front, under the cockpit? it doesn't need to be deep, just recognizable. even co...

Update: I've been using the Python for a while now. Despite being very slow, it's a good ship. What next? I'd like to go to the Boa, but it seems you can't fit shield boosters or military shields on it. I'd have to change tactics for fighting as I typically just run right for the pirates.:lol: dont...

rest assured, unless you are a rat comprised mainly of variously charged photons, you have nothing to worry about. yet another question: does every version of oolite play the same, as in same planets and galaxies, or is each on randomly generated at game start, or what? and another: assuming the sa...
