Oolite Bulletins

Would you be comfortable building your own version of Oolite and debugging it? It’s fiddly, but it’s basically following a list of instructions and e-mailing a screen shot. If you can, the procedure would be as follows: Follow the instructions on the wiki . However, instead of: svn checkout svn://s...

Sorry to spam the board! Ok, I removed everything I could find related to Oolite (find / -name "*olite*" -print") except my save games. Downloaded a new copy of Oolite version 1.71.2 plus, for good measure, tiger.oxp and System_Redux.oxp. Installed them and tried a mis-jump with my no...

I had a very quick look at the issue. With only Tiger and SR installed, I loaded up Scoopy's game, launched from Sodionbe, set course to Araron and executed a misjump. Entered witchspace, no problem at all. I'm afraid I can't see anything wrong with it. Unless Scoopy has a very specific, precise wa...

Thanks for looking at this and for me at least, there´s no hurry. Out of interest, I decided to see if changing ships makes a difference. I traded in my trusty Tiger for a Fer-de-Lance and I still got the same problem. However, as I have the debug OXP installed (I presume this is the reason), I also...

Thanks Commander McLane, glad I was in the right place.

I have also downloaded the Debug OXP too. Thanks for the heads up.

It's a known issue, actually it was changed on purpose. Strange that it was on purpose. What is than the function of "fast save??". Presumably to stop you having to select a file to save to. Actually, I like anything that makes it take longer to recover from an embarrassing death. In the ...

Ok, think I found the log, can´t beat "find". I have found "/Users/myname/Library/Logs/Oolite/Latest.log" which I presume is the correct one. Lots of errors in it so it looks likely :) I presume this bit tells you what add ons are installed ( "/Applications/Oolite/Oolite.app...

My best guess is that a different OXP is to blame here. Or something is wrong with your savefile. A list of the OXPs you are using would be really helpful at this point. Also, if you send me your savefile (nikbar2004 at yahoo point com), I would be glad to have a look at it and try to get it to cra...

Thanks for the reply! I have removed all my OXPs and currently only run with Tiger and System_Redux. I can re-produce the error at will. I have tried a new commander with just these two oxp´s loaded and it works fine. It just breaks with my save game which, has me flying in a Tiger. I´ve looked all ...

Well, the only other variable I could think off was something else in my save game. Well that and my customized keyboard config. I first experienced the problem, removed all my OXP´s and, as I play in a Tiger, I had to start a completely new game as Jameson to try and reproduce the problem. I starte...

Having just downloaded 1.71.2 it seemed to be my turn to have a failed witchdrive and thus go to meet the Thargoids. The game entered witchspace and the screen froze. Sounds still work though as I can hear my laser if I press fire. Non of the other buttons appear to do much. Played with OXP´s until ...

Remember how you got the cloaking device in the first place? You shot and destroyed a cloaked ship. To me, is seems logical that your enemies should be able to do the same to you now you are using the cloak. You were still able to see the cloaked ship on the scanner when you were chasing it and you ...

Please excuse a newbie to the forum. I love the work that has been done with this game. I am in awe of the quality of design and the implementation of this re-implementation of the classic Elite. It would be very easy to just have made an Elite clone but Oolite, with its extensibility is a remarkabl...
