Oolite Bulletins

Oh, that wouldn't work at all, because toFixed turns the number into a string. It could be used to help the display, but wouldn't solve that weird banking issue, I guess. Hmm. Well, the contractbaseprice (line 187) was not using Math.round, whereas contractactualprice and killsbonus were, so maybe t...

Hmm. I'm guessing then that {silly nonsense deleted} would at least solve the problem with it erasing your bank account because of the weird decimals. I don't think that would solve the weird amount display to begin with, though. Would it work to edit Escort_Contracts.js line 80 to be something like...

OK here's a crazy idea... food! Not food as a commodity, but food you as a commander need to eat. I don't think it's possible to implement a "starve to death if you don't eat" feature to Oolite, though... ...at least, not for your commander. But there's always Ship's Cat! Gotta get to a Co...

Hmm. I've never seen this. Do you see this happen in 1.5.9?

...or, if you're like me and prefer manually installing add-ons, http://addons.oolite.org/oxps/ has links to each OXZ directly. I have my system set up to open an OXZ with 7-Zip, so I just create a new .oxp folder in my Oolite's AddOns folder then unzip the OXZ there. It's a couple extra steps compa...

I wouldn't mind synthesized voices. I figure there are a lot of different languages in the systems, so the voice giving you clearance is not the being at the station; it's your computer relaying the clearance to you. Here's an idea: Add queue position sounds. "(boopboop) Hold for clearance.&quo...

I grabbed your modified shader from the 1.2 version of Staer9's Shipset. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well on the hardware I use to test stuff on. It may be the GPU, an Intel HD chipset. Your shader rendered specular intensity and normal mapping, but the engine and laser glowing effects were a...

Laying an egg? Naw... looks like it's a representation of people who will come across you. The closer you are to Elite, the browner their trousers.

http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Behemoth for those wondering... But I'm wondering: The readme suggests that this also has had behemoth_3-4_1.1.1.oxp and behemoth_ncc_1.0.3.oxp included into it. Is that correct? we should remove those from our installations? The file names in the Models folders don'...

Ah, so now there are names to put in the requires line for the manifest of my OXP Haulers, then...? If we're going to make a new "release" of YAH, perhaps the line to make store brands persistent (covered in the OXP Tweaking thread) should be added. And of course I suggest the GalaxyMart t...

Now making shady DeepSpace Ships... diffuse, specular, normal and effects maps, using the fragment shader provided by Jens for Griff's Adder. Lovely, metallic shininess! I had used that shader originally in the Staer9 updates, but then I noticed that it doesn't react to sun colour, so the ships loo...

Thanks for the heads-up, Thargoid! Being outside the UK, I tend not to hear about such wonderful things... I was able to stream it this morning. It'll be available for anyone to hear until the end of next week.

It was great!

No reason you can't update it now. It won't break anything to have the code in there ahead of time; users of 1.77 simply won't see the new elements.

I'll better start testing mfds and see how they work. By the look of it, they'll be well suited for linking with the asc and showing the distances, but for comparing markets they might not do the job as there is a lot of information to be shown.

I suspect scrolling would be in order, yeah.

Since the use of mission screens in-flight is not desired, I took another approach with this one. I have a new version under development that will be quite different. For in-flight distances, use updating tsc. I suspect in-flight distances is a great candidate for using the new multi-function displ...
