Oolite Bulletins

You can fix the 'Ati Borg Bug' in 1.73 or a trunk self build by opening
\oolite.app\gnustep\defaults\.GNUstepDefaults
and adding
"use-texture-lod-bias" = NO;
this works well but is less graphically attractive than the standard code.

non-player ships seem to have this problem with Nav Buoys, Stations and YAH ads ships launch from station and fly into the Nav Buoy http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=15378&group_id=3577 Cmdr James "I do see quite a few ships crash into the station" https://bb....

The stations could be finished at Vetitice and a temporary hyperspace/jump drive fitted in the docking bay.
after self-powered escorted flight to their destination the temporary drive could simply be removed.

while playing or testing a trunk build you may find bugs in the core game or with OXPs. these may be looked up or reported at ..

If a Windows patch and dll are available more players can check it out.

I hadn't realised that it was so difficult or time consuming to integrate drop-tank functionality into the core.
If I presented tested code to properly integrate the fuel tank OXP into the core would it then be considered ?

What is the advantage of this being part of oolite, rather than an OXP? Generally, very few not-elite ships and equipment are in the core game, and I think thats a good thing. It gives people choice. And it gives people elite, almost as they remember it. Some feature, like the wormhole scanner, mus...

If you installed to .. C:\Games\Oolite\
on your original machine then those save files should be in
C:\Games\Oolite\oolite.app\oolite-saves\
you can have many save files ( *.oolite-save ) but each is a different 'story-line'.
hope this helps

Hi Ramirez, thanks for your observations and of course the Fuel Tank OXP
I wouldn't regard it as a bodge job .. an external pylon is the normal place for a drop tank.
I look forward to it's possible integration after informed consensus regarding managing player-triggered equipment.

it can have a detrimental effect on at least one built-in mission (Nova).

I'm sure that could be overcome .. maybe no Nova until no fuel reserves.

My meaning was that it should be a wider discussion generally.

I wouldn't dream of arguing with that

All players building from trunk will encounter the rescaling problem if it is not disabled.
Those not aware of the reason will waste time simply tracking down the problem.
Those aware of the rescaling problem will know how to re-enable rescaling.
