Oolite Bulletins

Still fumbling my way through the Linux maze... locate jscal returned the following: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/jscalibrator.desktop /var/cache/apt/archives/jscalibrator_1%3a1.5.6-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Now deleted. I can't see anything in the startup scripts that refers to the joystick (but I really...

Not directly related to the Oolite problem but this solves one of the earliest issues I encountered when trying to calibrate the joystick. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=404149 ...some applications look for "/dev/js0" but ubuntu puts the game controller at "/dev/input/js0&qu...

Funny, I noticed the same thing just yesterday but it never even occurred to me it was a bug.

With the length of time docking computers take to successfully land my ship, I figured they were just caught in a queue. There's probably even a 'Traffic Cones' OXP somewhere.

It's okay. The same grease-monkeys that stole all my missiles a couple of days ago, last night paid me 450 MILLION CREDITS for a second-hand pulse laser. I think that balances out.

I have, as far as I can tell, removed jscalibrator and everything associated with it. The only joystick related package remaining on the system appears to be xserver-xorg-input-joystick . Very limited success. Oolite joystick calibration now consistently responds to Axis 3 (rudder) and Axis 4 (throt...

Does jscalibrator use SDL? Okay, with nobody leaping forward with the magic solution, I've done some additional digging following your SDL question and come up with this... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/17245 Currently there is no default way to configure a joystick in Ubuntu or Gnome. ......

In Oolite 1.70 (on Ubuntu 7.10) when I unmount and sell missiles, it charges me $20 but pays me nothing for the removed missiles.

I've tried this with new Commanders, getting the same result.

Don't have a mouse, only a trackball and it's a complete non-starter for flight controls.

I have no idea about SDL. The homepage for jscalibrator seems to be quite well documented if you understand this type of thing (which I do not) and can be found at: http://wolfpack.twu.net/libjsw/

Using jscalibrator in Logical mode gives the following deflections: Axis 0: 79 - 173 (Left - Right) Axis 1: 73 - 174 (Forward/Dive - Back/Climb) Axis 2: 5 - 209 (Rudder: Anti-clockwise - Clockwise) Axis 3: 34 - 180 (Throttle Max - Minimum) Axis 4: n/a Axis 5: n/a I think this is the relevant info bu...

I'm not having any luck getting the joystick to work with Oolite under Ubuntu 7.10 The Joystick Configurator - jsconfigurator - software appears to work correctly. Everything responds and the on screen results are consistent with how I would expect the joystick to configure, although I cannot tell w...
