Oolite Bulletins

I downloaded hOopy casino, extracted it, and placed the .oxp file in Home/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/Addons folder. However, I'm not seeing anything different in game This is what it looks like with .OXPs in both places - I installed hOopyCasino a second time into ~/.Oolite/Addons : Dumdum dumdum ...

You can also lose your hud and/or your shields with the relevant oxps, though (a good addition, IMHO). Still I understand your point that basically losing cargo items (which is frequently the case) is irrelevant to the battle outcome, at least as far as the ability to overcome the threat is concern...

Sounds like a lease or rental agreement issue that should be resolved by your landlord. If, in the agreement you signed to live there, specifies that you are to be given access to a parking spot to go with your boarding, then the landlord has two options, make the guy learn to park, or potentially f...

Well after picking up an Asp Mk II to try my hand at hunting, I think I'll stick to the regular trading side of the game. I tried a dozen times to jump from planet to planet and every time there were at minimum three pirate vessel waiting. At one point, I had four nearby, so I poked the witchdrive i...

Ah, thanks. I love the Wiki, but it's tough finding a lot of information there. The search feature seems to be nearly handcuffed. I'm learning.

I've been kicking this idea around on my own, and since my 'talents' don't exist I have decided to pass it on to the community. Who knows, maybe it's an idea someone else could use? My idea is a vessel specifically designed specifically with a bounty hunter in mind. The theoretical name for it would...

It was a simple run from planet to planet. I've made so many in the last few days that it's tough to keep track of where I am and where I've been. All I knew was, I had jumped into the wrong planet. Less than five seconds out of the hole I had a ship in my aft blindspot, origin unspecified. As a rul...

Fixed. Note to those using Ubuntu, Ctrl-H and you'll have to create a folder inside .Oolite named AddOns (case sensitive)

Thanks guys, sorry to have been the dumb bunny of the day. I'm learning slowly but surely.

I managed to dig up a little factoid about the .Oolite meaning the folder was hidden, then discovering how to unhide hidden items (Ctrl-h) and have moved the file over.

Ah, thanks cim, I'll keep my eyes peeled for 'em, might just go back and make a new commander as you suggested. Thanks to all.

Heh... scrub that idea then. I can't help with AddOns placement on Linux as I'm a Windows man.

Days like this, makes me wish I'd stuck with Windows!

I just popped over to Biceenon, still no good. Biceenon is ranked at tl 14. I scanned pretty thoroughly through the compass multiple times and never saw C pop.

Good way to preface my problem right off the bat, lol. I downloaded hOopy casino, extracted it, and placed the .oxp file in Home/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/Addons folder. however, I'm not seeing anything different in game, I scroll through the compass bearings using the \ key, and I never see it po...

The updated Wiki looks Great, although the links on this page; http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_howto_model to the Brickship and Oogie ship seem to be dead. I'm not sure who to submit the report to on that though. Still plugging away at this, though I fear that trying to build a whole ship right...

Thanks! I've got plenty to study, but I intend to get started. I've already got my mind wrapped around a basic shape for a vessel, it might never get beyond that, but I'll share pictures when I have some. :D Thanks so much for the help. Lots to learn, but I figure by the time I'm 80 years old, I sho...

I must confess I like the 'must use eyes' feature... :) <Nods knowingly> On some planets I have to get closer to see the station but usually I can see it when I pop out of the hole. The first run I ever made, I didn't know what I was doing, so I cruised up and then followed the compass to get to th...
