Oolite Bulletins

Hopefully I'm not confusing the issue... but 64 bit Lucid is having some problems with Nvidia drivers and the xserver. I had to disable them on my wife's desktop for now because they would crash the xserver whenever the display settings would be changed, like during login. I would imagine this would...

I'll have to try that. My saved game just started doing that too after several days of no problems. Thanks for the heads up!

I've been trying for months to track down a trojan on my computer that was harvesting data from my contacts list and sending out fake emails in my name to the people on that list. Today I uninstalled Panda Antivirus and switched over to Avira, then ran a complete scan. It found a trojan that it call...

I'm still safe then... I've got 20 Japanese power-eaters and a whole @%#$load of chopsticks! That should slow them down until I can sell them wholesale to Captain Hesperous(hope that's not misspelled) . Word has it that he's always looking for new stock. Lol

So... How many trumbles will that sucker hold???? Lol

Commodore 128 in C64 mode. I wore out two of them playing Elite day and night in my office while I manned the phones. One of the perks of being 'The Boss' lol. Been addicted to computing ever since.

Using WinXP and version 1.72.2 and only Your Ad Here with Oo-haul (no RS oxp) , I find this behavior in any galaxy and planet with a store. They all disappear when you reload from a saved game until you jump away from the system and return. I just assumed that the stores would only repopulate when y...

Ahhh... That explains why I've run into that problem on so many player ships then. Thanks! I'll be waiting eagerly.

As I haven't studied the core code and done a line by line debug myself, it's possible that I'm way offbase here. However, I've found at the very least that that status changes of variables in the midst of calculations(ie; changing integers into real numbers and then not changing back) can also some...

Yeah, I forgot about that one. Haven't used Google in years because of it. Thanks

Windows Vista and XP users who have kept up with their patches and downloads will find that a new item called Windows Search or Windows Desktop Search was downloaded into their startup folder. The problem is that this a a very buggy program that seeks to catalog where everything is on your hard driv...

We could always have nekkid celebrities on Your Ad Here billboards. Sex always sells and the lawsuits would be free publicity. LoL

The problem could also be rooted in how the programming language accesses and calls the math functions from the main/co-processor as anyone whose ever saved/loaded arrays across different platforms quickly finds out when one array begins with zero and the other starts at one. What I've learned to do...

To continue... I've learned that these errors don't seem to appear when doing simple addition and subtraction, but that multiplication can sometimes pick up the extra 'noise' when the process takes it over the 8-bit layer and that division gets corrupted much more easily, let alone square roots and ...

I'm a noob to this forum and the Oolite game code but I've been a programmer since the mid 80s, having worked with many of the BASIC languages over the years and porting the games over many different machines and OSs from Radio Shack and Commodore through most of the line of IBM compatible systems. ...
