Oolite Bulletins

I'm currently doing the Diso-Leesti run. I was trying to get to Zaonce-Isinor by going to Lave. I can't seem to find any other (less dangerous) way over to Zaonce. Every time I get to Lave I get vaped by some Asp.

Guess I'll just save for better shields or something.

Every key on a keyboard has a scancode. This scancode is generated by the hardware and is readable by the software. Isn't Ahruman the author for the Mac version? I thought he was using some type of C for the compiler. If so, that should easily get any scancode for any key on the keyboard. Now whethe...

Very nice! Can these be put on the wiki with links to the zip files?

I'm not looking for the file, thanks. I'm looking for the scan codes. keyconfig does not use pgdn by default, so it is currently not in there, IIRC.

I have Oolite 1.65 Windows/PC.

I would like a program or table which shows the key scancodes. For example, I would like to change my jump key from "j" to "pagedown" so I don't have to move my fingers off the cursor keys to jump.

Does such a beast exist for Windows?

Thank you. Is this documented in the WIKI page where they list all the keys?

EDIT: This does not appear to be documented in http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite ... d_Controls . 'i' currently says "inject fuel". So do I use capital "I" when I'm in the short range (F6) map?

I have edited the HUD.PNG to add a ranging reticule, which helps me deal with the parallax compensation. At ranges less than 900m, on a Cobra III, the laser hits a fair way below the crosshair. I saw that too. And I thought that was a "bug". I thought the end of my lasers were too heavy a...

Hi,
I have a suggestion for the Oolite wiki or any web page. I would like to see all the OXPs that change the HUD, along with an image of the HUD. I think I've seen 2-3 custom HUDs on this board but don't have a clue which OXP they belong to.

Thanks for all your help people!

another neat touch is that the exhaust plume starts to flicker when a ship is close to being destroyed!

I have noticed that! Nice touch! The engines flicker at first, then seem to turn off for 1-2 seconds before I finish him.

I guess I should clarify. When I spray my lasers, they hit every time. Then the laser overheats, but I still haven't destroyed the ship. They must have good shields or something. Actually, the lasers often (but not always) destroy Cobra MK3 pirates, but I'm using the same strategy with the Asps. The...

When you fire a hardened missle, does it have just a chance to survive an ECM, or will it survive all ECMs?

Is there extra equipment I can buy to cool down my lasers more quickly. I know to conserve my shots, but if I'm in the kill position, I shoot. Many times my lasers (beam) have over heated and I miss the kill.

I have: Oolite 1.65 Windows/PC version

When fighting pirates I have seen them drop glowing balls of light. Is this flares or chaff? If not, what is it?

I have: Oolite 1.65 for Windows/PC.

I've seen a screenshot where in the short range map there were 3 symbols per planet. Is this a feature in the 1.65 PC version? If so, how do I activate it?

Well, here are my Windows PC specs:
- Gateway GT5056 specs
Geforce 8600 (don't recall which one) video card, 256 video ram
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 3800+, 2GHZ speed
1GB system ram

But I'll check frame rate this weekend.
