Oolite Bulletins

ere is an example; I did this for Oolite. Every possible function that can be assigned in-game has been assigned to just the joystick... I am not running a joystick profile: Why not a profile? That way I can now also switch the cargo to dump, switch between scanner resolutions (works better than wi...

Besides, I don’t see any particular advantage to stripping out “traces” of OXPs.

Yes...however I do wonder why all the trumbles have to be kept in the savegame after the infestion has been dealt with - those really do blow up the size. Can I sell that portion as furs?

Made a witchspace jump... DURING the jump the alarm (warning sound) sounded. In the new system nothing was wrong. All equipment was fine. I DID need a maintenance overhaul upon docking, but not really any sooner than expected. I don't know whether a warning sound is played, but if your ship had a f...

Otherwise, I like the idea of this piece of equipment. I also think the pricing is adequate (as long as your Credits aren't multiplied by refilling). Uhh...sounds like trouble with an older version of oolite delivering a wrong value - I wrote code to check for a proper oolite version in order to ap...

Yes, just like in elite you need to pitch up (or down, I forget which) when entering the wormhole.

Wasn't that the ctrl key on the C64?

Everyone can download free software that can unpack rar under windumb - and it's also better than windumbs builtin zip:

EDIT: and its been said a million times before, please dont use trunk to play, just for testing and development. I know, I know. But since I'm going to record it, crashes can be cut out easily. So if it's not too crashy, I'll use the trunk despite repeated warnings. You shouldn't worry too much. Fo...

unfortunately I have Vista Home Premium 64 bit. If you can also install a 32bit OS on that machine or have some old computer with 32bit XP/Vista or such, you could build there... About running Oolite: If you use Vista, be sure NOT to install to a folder like Program Files with UAC on - the newer oo...

Okay... pressing SHIFT as Oolite starts. I have a vague notion in principle as to what this does. Apparantly you are supposed to do this whenever you put in a new OXP... and I guess when making certain changes. It's not required to use shift when you add oxps - if the paths change, oolite will rebu...

From reading that other post you referenced, it doesn't SOUND like there should be (serious) Vista issues. Getting into it would take a bit of "psyching up" first. Perhaps an overdose of good, select gourmet coffee some night. Vista issues? No. 64 bit issues? Yes. You do need a 32bit OS t...

There's nothing in Pods that specifically awards Narcotics. There are one or two which award random cargo, but most of those are the larger pods which award multiple tons/kg/grammes. I would wonder if this is actually something in trunk rather than an OXP? If something is being spawned which for so...

You should post that into the "Suggestions" section, perhaps inviting a vote for what colors mean what, and to start establishing guidelines for OXP laser colors (if thats possible). Unless I dreamt that, I already did suggest that quite a time ago and none did go for it...however, in the...

I must admit that I would prefer laser colors based on laser models to the current situation...it would be much more logical!

One single ship black because of the graphics drivers? Yes, that's possible. Anyway, using a mac, I didn't fiddle with the drivers... and I won't. If this problem stays a single case, it's no problem :) Oh woops, Intel GMA 950, by the way. Forgot to include that in the last post. Maybe you should l...

With simple shaders, most of the ship look boring after a while (no colooors :( ), but the Fer-de-Lance is completely black on my system. Is that intentional? It's a bit hard to shoot it to pieces when I have to estimate its position with the targeting scanner extension. Sounds like a bug in your g...
