Oolite Bulletins

Do you have accidentally two versions installed? I had already checked this (as I am also getting some other weird things happening) and the answer is no. However, I recently added somebody else's code to my Oolite startup script and guess what it does - cd's into the users' Oolite directory before...

Cheers - had some funkyness going on when I cut'n'pasted and obviously didn't triple-check Glad you finally got it going though.

Therefor I just uploaded version 2.47 with this error removed .... Not to be picky.. but the OXP folder is called "transports 1.47.oxp" and the readme starts off with 2.46 :D Oh, and a couple of systems ago there were no fewer than 5 (!!) Woma Fuel transports on their way to the station. ...

This sounds like you've butchered your Hardy Heron install... :) Just FYI, I compile and run Oolite fine on freshly-installed Hardy Heron and Intrepid Ibex using only distribution-supplied versions of libsdl and libgnustep in 5 steps. (Although it took me a while to get to this stage as well..) Buil...

Having constant-time for a jump would make the wormhole-scanner MUCH simpler to code. Personally I would prefer it anyway - original Elite never had a ship clock for one thing and for another, to me it makes more sense that a wormhole is literally a folding of space so irrespective of how much 'real...

*hebt die Hand* Allerdings hab' ich's nicht so mit Ausdrücken (zulange im Ausland gewohnt). Auch schon den Kopf darüber zerbrochen wie man "Iron Ass" übersetzen könnte aber bisher nix eingefallen.

Perhaps a better solution would be to place the YAH beacons at least 5km away from the witchspace entry point area? After all, that's the point of having an entry-point - a safe place in a system to jump to with a pretty good chance of it being empty.

Eject earlier! No seriously - in Elite/Oolite (if it was "real") - you're supposed to climb from your cockpit to the pod itself - grabbing your Remlok on the way past ! I -could- be barking up the wrong tree here, but I seem to remember that buying an Escape Pod -replaces- the cockpit sec...

Heya SJ, greetings and welcome from a fellow BrisVegian (although exiled at present).

Commiserations on your loss of life.. it's happened to us all!

Feel free to improve the Wiki - everybody chips in as to their interest and capability to improve this great remake.

Cheers,

Ubuntu build scripts are in the trunk now.

Do you have your screen in wide-screen mode? I noticed that this only occurs as the aspect ration tends towards widescreen.

Very nice! Finally made it to Tianve. Although I think you might want to consider putting up a warning for epilepsy sufferers and those susceptible to motion sickness

If you want to compile yourself you don't need to compile GNUstep - just install the Ubuntu dev packages (can't remember all the ones you need off the top of my head atm). The only 'tricky' bit is to remember to compile the external Spidermonkey javascript library dependency (included in the source ...

What OS? There's various 'pdf printers' out there so just write in whatever app you've got then 'print to pdf'.

I'm working on getting Ubuntu binary packages together, but will still be a couple of days for 64-bit I'm afraid.
