Oolite Bulletins

There is a crash reporter in the logs folder (in the Library folder) It gives a lengthy report, including the following: OS Version: 10.3.9 (Build 7W98) Report Version: 2 Command: Oolite Path: /Applications/Oolite/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS/Oolite Version: Oolite version 1.73.0.1 (1.73.0.1) PID: 426...

Logs in a mac are located in the LIBRARY folder I looked there This is a bit lengthy so I'll delete as much as possible latest log last game was 1.65 which worked OK reads: ===== Display starts at offset 85976 within file of length 217048. ==== ===== Use File->Reload (Cmd-R) to display more. ==== o...

I spend the next couple of hours finding out how far away I could get from the sun in order to make it look like one of the background stars inadvertently I set the speed of a ship to 8350 instead of 350 the vessel exploded on launch: it took a while to work out why!! but eventually I removed the &...

well, I'm not sure where to look to see why message appeared, but if any pointers offered I'll certainly look there to see. however all versions post 1.65 I've attempted to load have done the same thing (seen 1 or 2 other comments re. game crashes to desktop @ launch elsewhere) but this is the 1st e...

there are some good 4gig graphics cards for mac, but they prefer the just very recently superceded models, according to my graphics consultants, and are not specified for current models.

Leadtek PCIe Quadro FX5800 4GB

oh, yes -- it's a ppc & similar probs with earlier versions (of Oolite) Not bothered, coz prbly just need upgraded hardware. OS X, 10.3.9 (10.5 better, but reverted to 10.3 for iLife '06) will get 10.6 soon, anyway, this just was just a quick report. (this particular 10.3.9 = non standard, anywa...

Pelamis not loading ExtraFuelTank?

Delete this

<key>roles</key>
<string>trader(1.5) pirate(0.25) hunter(0.125) shuttle(1.25) pelamis</string>

from shipdata.plist for the player ship and ExtraFuelTank will load (from pylon to main fuel tank) normally.

Thanks for that. In fact when I wrote There are two options 1. use the original unmodified file + the stripped down file (which has the altered texture) 2. use only the .oxp file with both player ships in it. When I use option 2., BOTH player ships have the altered texture. I meant when I use option...

Trying to create a 2nd version of a ship, as a way to see how the plist works. I read the thing (Terrapin), compared how the Kestrel&Falcon OXP -- which has two player ships (Kestrel, Falcon) in the shipdata.plist as well as two versions of the Falcon (Falcon-player and Falcon-S-player), togethe...

0800 UT sunday approx BB (link from oolite page) not working but no trouble getting www.oolite.org , after it recovered (about 12 hours earlier) access possible by linking through an e-mail topic notification page: that worked OK Moderator: linkified oolite.org because the auto-link confusingly incl...

touch off the e-bomb I don't have this mission available, but if you Q-mine instead of e-bomb, you score double killcount (or something -- I haven't actually done the maths, but it's more) and it's much more picturesque, a bit like pouring petrol into an anthill to get rid of it (and then igniting ...

BoaCC better for fighting -- i complete all missions in that

BUT the PCC has VERY COOL external view through scoop underneath, superb for any cloaked activities, best of any ship I think.

Still prefer the boa for handling though, and for earning.

Good morning is that to run on a mac (not pc)(or both?) local graphics joint offering "EVGA PCIe gtx285 1024mb for Mac" deal (on octo-core) or "Leadtek PCIe Quadro FX4800 1.5GB MAC" -- no 5800 but I read (?review) both have 4GB local graphics joint probably not crooks, of course..

Postmen? You have postmen? what a luxury

does anyone have any experience of GTX285 graphics card vs Nvidia FX4800/5800 workstation(s)?
