Oolite Bulletins

What other options do we have? If I understand correctly you need the contents of the resources folder as created upon first install ? If so, would the Resources folder of a linux compile be useful ? Maybe the workflow for the appimage or the flatpak could be adjusted to output their Resources fold...

Is the expansion catalog also what is used for https://oolite.space/#oxp ?

The approach of winboat is very similar to that of setting up a virtual machine. Keep in mind that you need a valid windows license to legally be allowed to run a windows instance (possibly a separate one for every instance). Depending on the applications you want to run (and whether you don't mind ...

Maintainers tend to prefer tarballs/*.zip archive , but it's may not be possible to combine that with git submodules . (atleast i haven't been able to figure out how to do that). The command listed git clone --filter=blob:none --recurse-submodules https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite.git will dow...

I've started updating the archlinux AUR oolite stable package and noticed https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/archive/refs/tags/1.92.tar.gz doesn't include files from submodules . This causes build failure for the (linux) release target src/Core/Debug/OOJSConsole.h:33:10: fatal error: jsapi.h: N...

We probably don't need to over-complicate it. What say, turn on the beacon within 3x scanner range?

That should be enough to allow getting back to it after battles, yes.

I'd like to see linux distro packages being mentioned in the readme.md . Installing Oolite > Linux seems to be the correct location for that. The text could be something like this : On some distros it is possible to install oolite systemwide using packages provided by users/maintainers of that distr...

Rock_Hermit_Beacons_OXP has such beacons. Does it? I saw nothing obvious in either the javascripts or the shipdata.plist. But if you nose around inside Rock Hermit Beacons OXP then you will come across this: rockHermitBeacons.js this.$verifyBeaconsRange = function _switchBeaconsOn() { seems to take...

I've been using IGT for some gametime now and like it. Recently I got the slaver base mission and encountered an issue : after finding the base I moved away while fighting the bad guys and couldn't find it anymore. I have added "beacon" = "X"; to shipdata.config , but that makes ...

So now you can just do $>oolite c:/path/to/savegame/savegame.oolite-save and Oolite will go ahead and load up the specified game and start with it.

oolite-git.sh ~/oolite-saves/Lone_Wolf016.oolite-save also works on linux.

The odt looks good in both 25.2.7 and 25.8.4 on my archlinux system.

When building oolite on linux against libpng 1.6.x one issue arises at runtime: The submodule oolite-linux-dependencies has png.h & pngconf.h in its include folder . Some parts of oolite use this file and request libpng 1.4.7 at runtime, making the menus unreadable. Note that the linker correctl...

Is this an intended change for 1.92 or for 1.93+ ?

As for HDR :
Are there parts of oolite or extensions that benefit from the larger color space provided by HDR monitors ?

I have been building trunk builds for several projects for years and also bisected them to help with troubleshooting. Over time I have noticed a pattern : some projects squash PRs into 1 commit, others merge the commits that make up the PR to master as individual commits . The 2nd method makes troub...

Looking closer I think it is missing the bottom part, but you can find it at https://app.box.com/s/ranhfim6rbq0wuxaav603d9z0jxs0smo

Hope it helps.
