Hmm. (My) Javascript sucks, and I've only taken a quick look at the docs, but it seems that you might be able to get 90% there with an OXP. Have a look at http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_JavaScript_object_model. You could probably make a stab at logging when you were attacked or when you att...

It's a fit up guv!

So there I am on final approach at Isinor station, when I get "Due to an emergency your docking clearance has been revoked" And, suddenly, I'm a fugitive! "Marauder, you are not welcome in this system", and out come the vipers, sirens and lasers flashing! I F5, and sure enough, I...

Too stupid to play with UPS-Courier

...To be delivered to a nearby democratic station... Um, I guess it's just me. What the hell does that mean? Another space station in the system I'm currently in? Or am I supposed to just pick a democratic system at random and go there? (There are none within a single jump, BTW.) I was sort of expe...

It's cool. Thank you. It's brilliant to be playing Elite again after a gap of -- oh my -- twenty-five years?! (Although I miss my BBC analogue joystick.) I know a bit about Linux. Pardon me if you already know this: 1) You'll find the log in your .Oolite directory which is underneath your home direc...

quick mod to put the fuel scoop icon into Compact HUD

I know it's hardly witchspace physics, but I got annoyed that that nice compact HUD didn't have a fuel scoop indicator. So in complete ingorance I had a fiddle and added the following to /usr/lib/Oolite/Addons/hud.plist: <dict><!-- fuel scoop status --> <key>alpha</key> <real>0.75</real> <key>select...

Thanks for that, but there doesn't appear to be anything useful in either of these. For the record, standard output: $ oolite .:3: validity error : Validation failed: no DTD found ! <plist version="1.0"> ^ Killed Erk. It looks like Oolite died with an error. When making an error report, pl...

Crashing on Exit

1.72.2; Ubuntu Linux 8.04; Some sort of ATI graphics card (!) Does anyone else get a complete hang when they click to exit Oolite? I have to terminate the process to end the program. (For Linux-heads: I actually have to use the dreaded kill -9!) The logs show nothing. Obviously not a massive bug, bu...
