Oolite Bulletins

i have a saitek p2600 gamepad and that works. You just have to go into the controls (F2) and assign the joystick controls there to the gamepad. As far as i can tell, as long as windows recognises the gamepad, then Oolite will too.

urk. run into a show stopper right away. i won't be able to use it anyway :( My webserver doesn't support ASP ;) I'm a php monkey. However, you've given me an idea on what to do now and how to get it working. Maybe we could have a competition ;) See who can come up with the best "OoGSE" (O...

well, obviously subSilver would still be here. But people would have the option of choice then

Sorry if this is in the wrong area. Wasn't sure where to post it tbh. Has anyone thought about reskinning these forums with an Oolite template? If not, then i might work on one for you before i upgrade my own phpbb to phpbb3 RC2. No promises though. As i'll admit, i hate making phpbb templates. But ...

Searchable database of GalCop member worlds. As noted, it's very basic at the moment. It will grow though, both in functionality and prettiness... VERY NICE. I love it. Any chance of getting a dump? If it's not possible, i understand. I don't wish to make you feel like i am trying to steal, etc. At...

aah full screen mode.
i play in windowed mode so i can read this forum while i'm playing lol

Sorry to double post. Job done though. [had to remove link to be able to post] Searchable database of GalCop member worlds. As noted, it's very basic at the moment.

That's odd. In my experience, ships often thank me for helping out. Probably purely coincidental.

Maybe i'm shooting the wrong ship Could be the problem. As i'm never sure which ship sent the mayday to be honest (is there a way to tell?)

Question:

The comm log. Is this purely for show? I see the occasional "help me" style message pop up there and when i assist the ship under fire, they never seem to be thankful or anything. Is there a way to assist and acknowledge the mayday message?

Mouse? I never saw any option for using a mouse (in the pc version). How do i select the mouse for use? I'd use a joystick but you lose out on control. The keyboard seems to move you faster in dives and climbs than a gamepad/joystick does. Like a sort of accelerated move. Where as with the stick, it...

not sure if the sun skimming "how to cook a trumble" was a part of the original game There was no hint - at least in the boxed Spectrum game - of how to get rid of Trumbles. However lots of people were upset and one of the magazines gave out a hint. Sounds like something Crash magazine wo...

I believe that navigation buoys were in the Spectrum version. In my day, we didn't have them on the BBC version, and we used to look down our collective nose at the Speccy users who couldn't dock without them. (Yes, I'm from a strange alien race that has a collective nose. Don't visit our world whe...

i just say a little thread (well quite a large one as it goes), about my bane of my old Speccy days. Trumbles Never again will i buy these blasted things. Although the fond memory of my ever expanding cargo still makes me laugh. So nice to see so much of the original game in Oolite. Then you might ...

Lots of information to digest. Looks like there's a whole lot more to this game than i first imagined. And you just saved me a whole heap of work on the galaxy mapping. Thank you. (although it looks like it's missing the type of world (Agr. / Ind.)) Now i wish i could code, and i'd volunteer as much...
