hi.
haven't received any trunk updates in quite some time. is something wrong?

You should really boost the RAM to 2GB minimum. 4GB preffered. you can't have too much RAM. when my mac mini had 1 GB, it was always full. without virtual memory i would have been lost. now it has 2 GB, and i still have to use virtual memory (like right now my swapfile is 2 GB (940MB used)), but oc...

i'm building now using those settings. let's see what happens and how big the files are gonna be...

looks like they're gonna be big. would it hurt to turn off the debug symbols? gonna try that...

ok, that eliminated that error, but here's the next one:

file not found: ../build/TestRelease/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS/Oolite

ok, now it seems to be installed properly. and the plug-in dependency error doesn't appear anymore. but now i get this error instead: /Users/Shared/projects/Oolite/trunk/DebugOXP/../deps/Cross-platform-deps/SpiderMonkey/js/src/jsotypes.h:77:0 /Users/Shared/projects/Oolite/trunk/DebugOXP/../deps/Cros...

trying to build the build all target keeps giving me this error: Unable to resolve plug-in dependency for "OODebugController.xib". i know i need the rbsplitview plugin, but how do i install that properly? http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Running_Oolite-Mac only says that it must be install...

Try using the debug console and activate the "debug AI" check-box for the player. It will write useful stuff in your log about the running AI.

Maybe Oolite did change it for you. See the progress topic.

yes, it was set to full shader mode. i set it back to simple, and now it seems to work the way i want.

... except GeForce 5200 and Intel GMA 9xx systems, which will use simple mode by default. On GMA 9xx systems, full shader mode is not available.

i can not confirm that. my mac mini has a GMA 950 chipset, and oolite was set to full shader mode.

And for hyperspace jump, OoPhysics (tm pending) make it impossible to generate a wormhole near a station AFAIK the minimum distance is 10 km, which makes it well within detection (and communication) distance. Asking permission to launch is a totally pointless thing, in my opinion. pointless? not if...

IIRC that fuel tank has several limitations. like it only holds like 3 ly worth of fuel, and when it's empty, it can't be refilled, correct? not exactly what i had in mind.
