Oolite Bulletins

Screet, Nemiricus I'd hoped that Matt would respond but... I can't see a problem with releasing a version that works. My enjoyment of this oxp was only spoilt by trying to debug it, I also now have the knowledge to cheat with other oxps. The finale had the potential to be an excellent mission and I ...

You may be one of the few to actually attempt this mission. Because of the lack of feedback and several interceding Oolite versions, it may not work as it should, but here's some hints on what's supposed to happen based on my initial playtesting.

Spoiler followed, not heard since.

apparently, you're correct about the problem...works now, thanks.

Damn you, WinDoom!

Windoze didn't work? Call Bill now!

I've been going through Galactic Navy's code, and I found that it adds headhunters to certain systems while the Admiral mission is active. However, these are clean ships that appear to be added with no rhyme or reason. Does anyone know what these are all about? I think they're just to hinder your p...

Every few seconds the description of what sort of criminals are detected changed completely, as if they had been replaced with an entirely new gang. After docking, there appeared something, most probably a gravestone. However, it was rotating in a way that it never was possible to read the inscript...

It should fly along the z axis.

Or for a more accurate location, have one of my handy dandy maps sitting on a pdf and switch between the two!

Do you have maps with planet names on or would I have to screw up my ancient eyes and squint at tiny numbers?

My impression was that the second screen I mentioned had variable names instead of values.

I get the above on the Mission Information (offering) screen . OS is Vista.

Also some strange looking fields on the bar bill screen.

Looks like the descriptions.plist is not being read at all. This may be a mac thing as it seems okay on DGills and is okay on mine. GRRR! Suspect it has something to do with the format the plist is being saved in from my text editor. Can you delete and re-install and do a shift start to Oolite to c...

Anyway MKIV, why are offenders not welcome? Surely these bars are not only frequented by Accountants and Politicians who only come to watch Lobsters pole dance?

Made the same mistake myself, offender, not a real bad guy, but I and you? were warned.

You get GalCop's bounty, but that's not the issue. The problem is that tier 2 and 3 are almost completely identical, at least as far as I can tell and with the exception of the target ship. I'd like to see those two be more distinct. Changing the quantity of the escorts would do that. I find I can ...

The jump in difficulty between tier 2 and 3 is not because of the quality of the ships. It's because of the quantity.

The target ship can be good. However, it shouldn't have so many escorts.

Do you get paid for fighting the escorts?

Will you be removing the guaranteed revenge ships and the warnings?
