Oolite Bulletins

Lestradae: just bumped into you in Bemeara! I'd gone back to Oolite v.1.77 so that I can run Vector and Cataclysm. So I added in some other currently broken oxp's including this one! Despite warning messages from this one in the Latest.Log, it seems to work well enough... Cool! Keep up the good wor...

Question: you were working on making some of the star systems more unique . Did you complete any of this? Yes, as far as it went. My changes to eight star systems (one in each "Galaxy") were to give them Tech Levels from 16 to 18 (methinks 4 or 5 TL16, 2 or 3 TL17 and one TL18), give them...

Hi Cholmondely! I just now managed to login again after years - my old login email fell to the ravages of time ... but Aegidian has come to the rescue and helped me to get back into my account. Sadly, nowadays I do not foresee being able to take up Oolite Extended again - even if I wanted to, my pri...

Very cool!

Happy for you and looking forwards to your book

Hey Redspear! Hmmm... The only change between 0.5.5 and 0.5.6 was that I chaged the locations of the textures folder. If you find the name of that other oxp then I'd be happy to investigate (could it be Norby's 'Far Planets' :?: ...) It should work in 1.79 although I haven't tested it in the very la...

I just noticed that since 0.5.6., my "Additional Planets" seem to be gone. Hadn't visited one yet, but with 0.5.5. they showed up via another oxp that shows the in-system planets via the F4 screen in stations (forgot the name). They were recognizable due to the crazy distances they had to ...

So, any chance of this making its way into trunk in the foreseeable future then?

May I suggests a Cosmic Snooker OXP, where you can play billard with planets?

Might use the sun as a hole.

Just a suggestion.

but for any sort of release to the community, the licensing issue is in the way here too. As I have no intention of upsetting people who have greatly contributed to this game and its oxps, this means that this option, for example, won't happen, as I am not wading into some gigantic debate with 300+...

Licensing is one of those thorny issues which we are still, to some extent, getting to grips with when it comes to OXPs.. witness the recent discussion over "dead-man" clauses , for instance.. To my knowledge, nobody has yet compiled such a list, as the uses for same would appear to be ra...

This is a very small OXP which overrides the roles defined by a replacement shipset to bring them back to the Oolite 1.79 default roles. So you can now use your favourite replacement shipset from an older version and get to try out the full effects of the new NPC ecosystem at the same time. It does...

Just one question, are these two (?) shipsets (I found the first download post a tad confusing) compatible with other shipsets, or are these exclusively replacement shipsets? I saw in the folders that they have the original shipkeys, no idea how this plays with like_shipped stuff of other ship packs...

... load up your .GNUstepDefaults file and add "display-status-model" = YES; to enable the model on the status screen. Actually, it is "show-ship-model-in-status-screen" = YES; . Should have probably mentioned it somewhere earlier, but better late than never. ;-) Thanks guys :lol:

So ... I am testing the trunk of 30-01 now ... how do I switch the status screen ship on?

And, trunk generally seems to be very slow when loading the game and at all inbetween stages - such as leaving station, hyperjumping - but quite stable. Is that slowness to be expected for some reason?

Is this going into the future standard game?

Please say it does ...
