Re: [Release] marketObserver 1.0

This looks very interesting, a bit like Vega strike but there it also records the place you saw the max and min prices, never the less I will be giving it a try. @psuamier As in Oolite there is no differentiation between a player and his/her ship It would be reasonable to assume the data transfers t...

Re: HowTo publish self-made oxp-modifcations?

As was said the first thing to do is contact the oxp author, do not assume an oxp is an orphan if you do not get a reply the same day, some people do other things. There is another thread about orphan oxp's which you may find useful. As for the wiki, there is a wiki fairy guru you can contact here. ...

Re: How many people have made it to 'ELITE'?

After some time, about 6 years I think, with the same commander, I am about to get get to 120 kills. This is due mainly due to me finding the combat part of the game the most boring. I tend to avoid any combat if I can, which at times takes a lot of skill, I turn up afterwards and scoop the spoils a...

Re: SIRF - update Released

Version 2.4 now released, using a different traffic spawn routine from Svengali. Direct link here. Added to the todo list for this oxp is build a new model, based on the original design concept but properly centred, with fewer sub-entities, consistently named models and textures. I may well remove t...

Re: SIRF - update Released

This is a known problem, I have never seen it happen but it has been reported to me.

It is caused by a galcop ship spawning to close to the station and hitting it, this is interpreted as an attack by the station.

I am testing some options for spawning the traffic cloud, update will follow soon.

Re: [Release] Troomp OXP 0.8

I have come across a problem using ver. 0.8. Every time I press F8 the keyboard becomes sluggish, almost unresponsive, it can take 20 or 30 attempts to press F8 twice more to get to the new cargoes page, selling any ordinary cargo is almost impossible. Changing to any other F key solves the keyboard...

Re: SIRF - updating

Yes it might be nice but this one you have to enter through one that looks like it should be the dock, then fly through the wall into the real one, this would not work even if you are allowed multiple docks, as both would try to use the same entrance. I'll look at the code though and see about addin...

Re: SIRF - updating

Yes docking confused me at first when I saw the oxp some years ago, I fly around the first bay for several minutes before I acidentally passed through the wall and found the real docking bay.. The model is not mine, it and the oxp were abandoned by milinks shortly after release. Part of the current ...

Re: SIRF - updating

Currently the prices are rather high as the station does emulate tech level 14 in lower tech systems, and while they use slaves as labour which should make it cheap the slaves do suffer a lot of damage meaning there is always a shortage and the station has to pay over the odds for replacement worker...

Re: AI Trading Assistant OXP ver 1.9

Is it safe to assume this is no longer available? Latest version and older versions seem to be no longer available from box.com.

Probably entered a regression loop and disappeared up their own hud.
