Oolite Bulletins

Wow, never thought this would actually happen - but here it is I was the one who created that old Space Monster thread over there. And now I'm really glad I still check the boards from time to time! Amazing work, keep it up! Highest possible rating from me

Hello fellow Elite fans :) While playing Oolite recently I thought just how much fun this game is compared to Frontier Elite 2 or First Encounters. I do not know why but this Newton physics thing is just getting on my nerves these days. I want arcade style gameplay and controls in a deep and interes...

@Killer Wolf: Well, actually I was secretly hoping you would write something like "no, there's some Elite in it, you just have to do this and that to get there, enter code here, find secret mode there..." something like that ;) But still, it's a nice finding :D @all: I'd really like to see...

And here are some more: http://hol.abime.net/2905/screenshot Looks interesting - however, there's nothing "Elite" in it, or is there? No trading, no stations and no... space? Edit: Ah but it's from Rebellion :D I absolutely love Rebellion since http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/rogue-t...

Nice, I really like your ideas But remember it should be implementable in a reasonable amount of time. I'd say a basic first version with only the most necessary features would be a worthy goal to achieve And I'm not even fit enough at scripting in Oolite I am afraid

sounds great!! I think it's something not every space sim has - but definitely should! I really wonder how this would look ingame!

Why not? Eight spheres with those textures stuck together and a few subentities, again with those textures, and the space monster is in! :shock: Hm, you're right, why not - as long as no additional fancy stuff is added, the picture should make a nice reference, still implementable in reasonable tim...

... *speechless* You call this QUICK? I'd call it amazing! It even has that weird mystical fantastic feel some scifi/space paintings of the eighties/nineties had - and of course that Amiga game. It's something you definitely won't get from any other game. Mmh, actually I like your monster better tha...

Nice!! Sounds perfect to me :D I'll add that to the backstory right now... Regarding the food chain, I guess Trumbles are in luck, as the creature reacts to anorganic and organic stuff hidden in really large objects (asteroids) and also any space vessels. No guarantees can be given for any Trumbles ...

Wow - no you didn't, that's a really nice addition :D And it prooves that I am still sane! Posting all this and stuff :oops: (edit: the worm with the strange head is of course just an example of how the creature looked like in the other game) So, I really like it but it sounds a bit more complicated...

A detailed proposal: ( Motivation: ) Ok, so I thought I finally give this a shot - if anyone can help me get this into a space sim, you can. Ok, now don't laugh, it's not as silly as it may sound. There was a game by Psygnosis called Awesome , (only) a few years ago. I even created a SOTB "shr...

Hehe, I am 28 and obviously didn't actually play Elite when it came out (...) but that was mainly due to me being born in Eastern Germany - nice thread about the prehistoric computers from that region of the world btw, I actually had one of those, a KC85 :roll: Anyway here's a probably quite amusing...

Ok, thanks for the explanatation I still enjoy the oxp, looping or not!

Nice! I recently encountered this mod0 and it's a clear must have (in my opinion). By the way, is there any way to make the music loop or play a song automatically after one song has ended? Currently I have to retrigger the music by pressing F7 and then going back with F1 each time ;) Other than tha...

Mh, I also recognized that the escort missions do not appear in any of the screens. However, I definitely signed the contract and escorted the ship etc. Is that normal?
