Oolite Bulletins

then maneuver as required, in order to keep your target always closer than 6 km, and also always at about half-an-inch from either of the top corners of your screen... A-ha, I wondered where the best "viewpoint" was - last time(*) I played, I used to keep the innocent victims villainous p...

8) 8) :D May I congratulate the joint efforts of Capt Murphy and sdrubble for solving my problem! :D 8) 8) My once-albino DR now revolves resplendant in her normal dark-as-night black-and-green textures, and (having finally found somewhere with a normal Caddy Omega for sale) I can confirm it is the ...

and then copied the renamed file :oops: That would be the 'Dark_Rainbow.OXP' file ... the one that has an icon that looks like a folder :oops: I wanted to have both the Neo and Rainbow variants so chose option 1 - the exact process I followed was: 1) Make sure I had installed the neoCaddy OXP prope...

Tomorrow? What am I on about? How about '...sort it out later .' Well, I edited the js file as recommended and Oolite hasn't fallen over laughing at me (yet) so I obviously got it mostly right, but the spinning image on the 'Buy ship' screen is all white except for the turrets. I used Notepad++ to e...

Ta muchly, I have downloaded the ZIP and will sort it out tomorrow...

For now, the lure of my bed is overwhelming my desire to carry on playing, and I've got to get up again in, oh, just under three hours.

Yikes!

Get my Misjump Inducer OXP.

That worked! Thank you.
(Also, thank you El Viejo but I 'cheated' and got the Misjump Inducer)

Now all I gotta do is remember not to try to dock with a Generation Ship to see if they have any spare fuel...

I've searched the foruu for instructions on how to induce deliberate misjumps and found the suggestion "pull back hard on the stick as the counter reaches 0" but it doesn't seem to be working. Can someone tell me how to do this please? I'm using 1.76 and I've tried about a dozen times, and...

I've just tried downloading the ZIP from the location on the first post but the file is no longer publically available - does that mean it's available privately somehow, or is the link now completely useless? If this link is now dead, can the Warty Popsicle be downloaded from anywhere else (if all e...

Thanking y'all for your quick and helpful responses - I knew someone would have it somewhere (I still had the installer files on my -now boogered and overwritten- hard disk... that'll each me to back my PC up properly! :oops: ). And Erich was right - I meant 'source to download from' not source code...

Go easy on me - I've just spent most of the day rebuilding my PC after some weasly virus got into it and trumbled some file or other; when my AV clobbered it, I got the infamous Blue Screen of Death (so yes, another reason to take pity on me - I'm using Windoze!) Anyhoow, as mentioned above, I'm loo...

And don't forget the Fuel Collector as well - comes from an OXP called, not surprisingly, the Fuel Collector OXP.

It may not be the fastest way to stretch your legs (and you need working fuel scoops too) but it still saves the odd few credits if you are feeling really, really tight-fisted.

Yeah, putting big immobile blobs right in the designated witchspace exit zone strikes me as less of a marketing strategy and more of an area denial weapon. If I'm completely honest, I think we maybe misunderstood the whole concept of "impact marketing": but we'd all had a lot of coffee an...

or an OXP added that possibility

Can anyone point me at such an OXP? Please?

I was thinking that if you activated it you would automatically change status to offender, because guiding enemy ships to human space would be illegal, potentially treasonous. I would have thought that deliberately inviting a species bent on completely wiping out all other (intelligent?) lifeforms ...

Have you got another HUD OXP in your AddOns directory? As I understand it, the last OXP found in the directory "ladder" is the one that gets used - so I had to rename TREKHUD.OXP so Oolite could use MilHUD-v3 as my HUD of choice. Works fine with NeoCaduceus - I'm currently swanning around ...
