Oolite Bulletins

I can't get the mission to trigger -- I think I'm in the right system, according to the hint, I've seen tons of asteroids on the way to the station including a huge one, I get to the station, but no mission starts.....? I'm "competent", which should be enough for the mission, according to ...

Judt got hit with a witchspace malfunction, the ONE time I did not have a spare gas can handy (I *always* keep one handy....no more long jumps without one or two!). I suppose that means game over, since there are no fuel sources in deep space....?

WD CmdrLUke, sounds like a really good mod. Without trying to draw you in to the web further, would it be possible OXP it so that us non techies could try it? My pleasure! I've packaged the hybrid hud as Mil-KleptoComboHud. Here it is: http://www.box.net/shared/45fs8k9zao all credit for content goe...

That would be great to get that in. What I decided to do (since launching and reentering may lose the contract) is just alt-TAB out to windows and launch another version of oolite and use its galactic chart, then alt-TAB back to the main one after deciding yes/no. That's very efficient. I've been ha...

LIGHT SPOILER ALERT. Stop reading if you don't want to read musings about the particulars of early game strategy. Well, it took me the better part of another 2 days (not quite, since I was drawn into the wonderful world of oolite hacking), but I've clawed my way back to a fairly solid if not totally...

But please make it optional! I don't like constant background noise.... But on the subject of sound, I really like the C64 military laser sound. It really sounded powerful, the laser sounds in oolite are all little "thweep"s. I think the fire rate was faster for the miiltary laser in c64 e...

Is it possible to get back on to the board without leaving the bar? I like to check system locations before accepting a contract, and I'd like to do it in the game if at all possible. Maybe the contract screen could include the (distance, min # of jumps) info on the offer screen?

Is there ever a reason to choose a fer-de-lance over a cobra mkIII other than bragging rights? The Cobra's faster and can hold more cargo, holds more missiles and has twice the energy banks. About the only thing I can see about the FDL is that it rolls about 1.5 times faster. Are smaller ships harde...

Here http://www.box.net/shared/521dpz7e9o is oolite.zip, containing oolite.exe that can be dropped in to your oolite.app directory. Contains oolite.exe built from the 1.71.2 source tarball with targetting hud enhancement patch (described in this thread: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=57914#...

FYI: the short range scanner performance is drastically improved with the flight performance witchdrive AI fix. Before the fix was applied I was getting 12fps in the F6 screen. After the fix is applied I get between 30 and 60 fps. With RandomHits installed I get betwenn 20 and 30fps. Waaaaaay better...

I have built oolite-pc using the 1.71.2 source tarball with the following 1.72 fixes/enhancements, because I'm impatient :) + Periodic slowdown fix (hyperspace ai performance bug). Turns this also *really* helps the short range view framerate as well + Targetting reticle color change when target's i...

It's in. It works. It's AWESOME

Thank you very much! I'd be happy to offer my oolite.exe to anybody who wants to try it out, I also have the "no slowdowns" fix applied. I'll post a message in the oolist-pc forum about this.

Well, I fixed this problem, not sure how it got in there, but the problem was in the y coordinates of the crosshairs, I change it to 0 and the reticle/crosshairs went back to the right place.

Believe me, you don't know the half of it ;) :lol: Well I went ahead and did it. I took the kleptohud crosshairs and put it into the milhud hud, replacing the milhud crosshairs. I decided that I liked the kleptohud crosshairs better, since there's no "background" color to hide the already...

Implemented for v1.72. Not as equipment for now, though. To use the feature, you must set the reticle_target_sensitive key in hud.plist to true. If this key does not exist, the default value is false. <key>reticle_target_sensitive</key> <true/> Now, every time your selected target goes through the ...
