Oolite Bulletins

I went out to get the cloaking device. Jumped four galaxies in a matter of 10 minutes RT just for this cloak. I witchspace 7 times and come against my foes, one with the cargo. I scoop the cargo and it reads, picked up strange device etc. I press 0 and ....... nothing. No confirmation or error, not ...

AARYAARBARTY - can't these darned systems make up their minds!

HI, I have been trying to install the random hits OXP for a few days now. I'll give a run down of everything I have done or flopped at so far: Downloaded and installed V 1.72 Oolite (oolite-1.72.x86.package) Downloaded the package for V1.72 (the RHV1.3BETA.zip) Unzipped the RHV.... and put the folde...

i definitely have the right one, I re-installed it to be sure.

When it opens though, this comes up just prior:



MIght that have an effect?[/img]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH It is in it's place. i do as the wiki says by holding shift whilst opening Oolite. Guess what - sweet didly squat is what. I go to an anarchy system and instead of finding space bars, i find even less asteroids than usual! What have i done wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Found out how to sort this little problem out. Apparently, must go in as root, rather than administrative user. Unlike windows, there are precautions to slow down your system s#!@ing. I found this site which told me how to access root through the terminal, whilst being user, to temporarily be allowe...

Some may have been the cascade but i am SURE that at least one was a wormhole. Still, pretty stupid of me.

I am trying to put the .oxp file in the AddOns folder as the wiki says to, but i am being told i do not have the permissions. Odd when I am the administartor ad all that. It has not once asked for a password of any kind, i am definitely the admin and the game is installed systemwide (so i believe). ...

excuse me for being a newbie to computers and all that, but what exactly do you mean to put the file in the terminal? (By which i mean, what EXACTLY do i type in the terminal to get v1.72?).

Please help, as I am somewhat confuddled.

yay. Thanks guys, helped me out there. I got the device too. This time without cascading everything by accident - see another thread.

How do you activate it if at all?

EDIT: got it. Number 0

What happens when you mix and inquisitive young jameson with a aid all in distress personality, this might be useful weapon collection, asteroid field with 12 ships and a cop and the failure to read the HUD? The result is whence the young jameson - me - locks onto and fires a missile at the nearby f...

found out now. thanks. traded in ship, managed to somehow get this new big fella - boa cruiser! Darned cheap too somehow :? Done a nice happy 38 ly trade and all well and good. To you new kids following after me, here is the latest tip. DO NOT DRIVE A CRUISER INTO A POLICE SHIP. ELSE, YOU'RE STUFFED...

What about The more you use your ship, the more it gets run into the dirt and their is absolutely nothing anyone in the whole world of wiki, google, links or whatever knows even to type about it so you will end up with a ship somehow worth zero credits for no known reason and no visible way to get i...

A must have for some

Meat shielding is useful for going into the sun for fuel i must admit. Especially with 10t of slaves going riot with 10t of firearms!

I have just today met the thargoids, and thank goodness i was making a 2 ly jump not the next 6.9! Bounty hunting was nice, but too many cleanies. Reidquat anarchy proved to be useful in just picking off the good guys, saving their life pods and refuelling in the sun before going safely back to diso...
