Oolite Bulletins

Any thoughts on stripping out the Star Trek, Star Wars, and Eve (Kestrel) 'tribute' ships? I find they kind of dillute the OOexperience... (and they may have 'other' issues.) I was on the verge of installing RS to try it out for the pricing model, but I really don't want Star Wars/Trek ships, so fo...

I'm not even sure this is about the same thing (tough to tell when one cannot check any changes in code), but in PlayerEntityControls.m, there is the - (void) pollFlightArrowKeyControls:(double)delta_t method. This method contains this code at the beginning: - (void) pollFlightArrowKeyControls:(dou...

Yes, that's true, but I didn't know about it, so for *me* it's new . I thought firing upon a clean meant instant Offender or Fugitive status, period, even in the middle of space with nobody watching (you get credited with the kill, after all, so *somebody*'s counting).

How do you get offered a UPS-Courier contract exactly? UPS first offer is always a document transport. You only get it at any democratic system with a 20% change. And you must be clean or close to clean. When you build a transport reputation, more missions start to be offered. (But when I remember ...

Well, I seem to have plenty of "N" buoys now, I'm not sure what was the problem before.

I am still waiting for my initial Oo-Haul offer, I've been in and out of convenience stores for dozens of jumps now...

Well I'm still not quite sure I understand. But I checked and I am getting "N" buoys, it's just not guaranteed that I see one, and that was new after installing the slew of OXPs yesterday. So is it the case that: 1) YourAdHere eliminates "N" buoys? and that 2) BuoyRepair adds the...

I'm noticing way more GalCop activity (fights with pirates at the witchpoint beacon in particular ) after installing: GalacticNavy YourAdHere BuoyRepair OoHaul UPS Courier Behemoth imp courier tiger Is it GalacticNavy that provides these GalCop/pirate battles, or is it native oolite and I just haven...

OK, I dug deeper and found that my oolite.exe is dependent upon the presence of these two folders (at least to start up correctly, I hope there are no further mid-game dependencies that are hidden): C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Library C:\GNUstep\GNUstep\System\Tools so I've created a skeleton of the G...

When I enable the mouse and have to use roll I feel like I'm gonna barf all over my cockpit. http://www.xandrah.com/images/SpinningIllusion.gif Sort of like that. I should see if there is a way to reduce the sensitivity or something. For now give me keyboard + yaw. Speaking of barfing, after a long...

You could try adding the hardworking folks from the Galactic Repair Service, in the BuoyRepair OXP ... I'm not sure what you mean -- I have the BuoyRepair OXP loaded now, but the repair stations are only in very particular systems. Does adding this OXP bring back the "N" on my advanced sp...

Here's the full oolite.app directory (minus the Resources directory since that should be identical to a 1.71.2 vanilla install) http://www.box.net/shared/0qqt0t6ihy This was built from the 1.71.2 tarball with the application of two 1.72 pending fixes and one fix of mine: + performance boost in short...

I'll post a zip of the full oolite.app directory later on today, you could swapping that (or just all the .dll files) out for the version you have in your 1.71.2 directory. The newer version will have my crappy-joystick-"autocentering" fix that I made this morning.

Heh this opens up a whole new world of play....I guess that's why less structured systems have more pirating, pirating is "safer" there.

I've noticed that attacking clean ships without the cops around doesn't change the displayed legal status. Is the status reallly totally clean or does it start to edge towards Offender but it's just not displayed?
