Oolite Bulletins

Thank you for this! Well, I've downloaded it onto my AppleMac (I went for the "OoliteGalaxyGenerator_v1.0.1.zip" option rather than the Source code (zip)/Source code (tar.gz) options). Expanding it shows one of those .exe things which I'm pretty sure won't work on my marvellous & magn...

So, my question: if you compose a new page for the initial game choices screen allowing a galaxy creation option, and composed it in Objective-C, could it not just override the vanilla game coding Objective-C in a similar way, without needing to rewrite the game code and create a new version of the...

One can reduce it by changing the default shader/planet fragments

Code: Select all

#define MULTIPLIER_LIGHTSRCRADIANCE	1.0
#define MULITPLIER_EXPOSURE			1.0

Ah excellent, thank you for that!

Looking great! Actually Oolite in general seems a big bright and shiny nowadays so it might be that?

Haha nice taxi

Gentlemen: I'd like to put up a map on our wiki showing how the jump range affects the geography - showing the contours of Galaxy 1 when the jump range is, say 5ly. Can I presume from your dialogue that this is currently impossible? Reference : http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Geography So the imag...

So I've been working on something that, admittedly, I originally built a long time ago but lost the code for it and then forgot all about it until I was recently reminded about this by Cholmondely. At present it is pretty basic, but what this tool essentially does is generate up to 8 galaxies worth ...

It was something I was very interested in but there was IIRC one rather vague wiki page and a 'poke under the hood' invite at a time when my coding was even worse that it is now. For me, it was rather like breaking into an old BASIC programme if you didn't know BASIC - you'd probably get there but ...

If the map is huge, then 7ly is probably not quite so crucial. Yeah exceeding the 7 light years isn't critical and will probably be fine to be honest, I was thinking more about whether the game updates the hyperlanes based on how much fuel the ship can carry or whether its always drawn as being 7 l...

Redspear came out with a Hyperdrives OXP which features different jump ranges (and I'm sure that Phkb's Ship Configuration OXP does so too). But one starts with a 5.5ly jump and then works up. What is interesting is the effect on galaxial geography (Sorry - "geo"-graphy has to be the wron...

So larger galaxies, yes! More systems - more than the octant, I presume. Customisable jump distances - please explain. So by customisable jump distances I mean hyperdrives that can have different jump ranges, a bit like in Frontier or E:D. This would of course break the base game in Oolite, because...

I can't see why our three remaining developers (a_c_, Getafix & Phkb) would be against it, and the two people I've noticed who have been active on the developmental end of things (Redspear & Tsoj) ditto. Redspear actually seems to be in favour... The only outright "no" I've seen i...

But could it not be included in the main game? All it does it provide more options for oxp's, no? Just imagine! You could rise to the dizzy ranks of Commodore ! Or maybe even the Admiralty ! Grand Admiral of the Fleet Pleb !! How does that grab you? ( desperation on seeing the glorious Admiralty sh...

In my point of view, preserving Elite is certainly an honorable task, but Oolite should focus on progress as well. Some new ships or a new frontier galaxy in the core game are making sense. Cim had a vision, but unfortunately in later releases a lot of his improvements were ignored. I think it's sa...

I understand that there is an openness to "opening out" the source code, if the would-be changers are willing to do the coding themselves. So this could be included in v.1.91/1.92 (or later if it took longer). I'm not averse to creating a new fork and working on that to provide a framewor...
