Oolite Bulletins

I tried copying and pasting that to my hud.plist, but it didn't seem to do anything. I even made sure it was properly indented (because I know that matters in a lot of scripting languages). This is what it looks like: I don't know why it's displaying as double-spaced here. It's all single spaced in ...

Well, I managed to figure out how to alter the crosshair icon, but I can't suss out what in the plist file puts the shield indicators near the crosshair. This is the code for klepto: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "...

If your system can handle shaders I advise getting some eye-candy OXPs to bring your copy of Oolite into the 21st century. Neolite is awesome, I have this OXP and I really like the redesigned ships, especially the Megaships!

What/where is neolite? I don't see it on the wiki.

Surely, the whole point is that Oolite is not and never has been merely a shoot 'em up. I don't know how anything in this thread gave you that impression. If you're meeting traffic outside the main lane, then you have something loaded which puts that traffic there - vanilla Oolite doesn't. Again, I...

What graphics card do you have? NVIDIA. I wish I could tell you more than that, but Linux doesn't have dxdiag and I've yet to figure out how to get the specs of my video card (other hardware, no problem, but not my video card). You will have to allow me to disagree. Well, this is really just a matt...

I bet most modern pilots would be happy if they could exchange their guns for a laser. Well, yeah, but to be fair, everyone wants lasers! I'd get them for my car if they were street legal. And who wouldn't want laser beams for eyes. :P But seriously, I'm not saying it wouldn't be easier w/ lasers, ...

So, what I want to do is mix a couple huds together. I want Deep Space for the dash, and Klepto (or maybe Medusa) for the targeting reticle (I like how it has your shield status right there, but isn't too busy otherwise). I tried just copying the crosshair.png over, but that didn't work. I'm thinkin...

lol...I got over 20 oxps running already and that's merely considered a "good start".

Thanks for the tips, I'll get right on those oxps.

I just started adding oxps yesterday. I had been playing vanilla Oolite for a little more than a week and I already felt the need to spice it up. I have: Deep Space Hud (obviously :P) Aegidian Special (a couple extra ships) Asteroid Storm Black Baron Commies some custom sounds (by Giles Williams) Io...

Better...does he mean more realistic? I'm not sure, we might have such discussion before... No, I don't mean that at all. I actually said in my last post that I'm not talking about realism. Not really.. the lasers we bounce off the Moon now have only spread to a few metres wide at that distance... ...

Well, we'll see. I currently have a serious grip thread going in the discussion forum. It'll take some hardcore oxp-ing to make me really happy.

First... several times you have said things like "but from 15000km away" That was a goof on my part. I mean sure, all measurements are abstractions in video games, but for the sake of arguments, that distinction is important. Everything I said still stands though, I just mean meters instea...

Ha! I just fixed it. I'm running Linux/Ubuntu. Who knew it could be so (case-) sensitive? In the oxp images folder, the part of the hud that wasn't showing is the BASE.png file. However, if you look at the hud.plist file, it refers to the image as base.png. The filename being all in caps kinda set o...

Screw roll, yaw thrusters all the way! Yeah, I've been doing the same thing. Roll is pretty useless as (direct) evasion. What I've been doing is a yaw/pitch combination. If I had a joystick, I would do a yaw/roll maneuver (a corkscrew, which would be a little more effective than a yaw/pitch), but i...

Where are you trying to get to? Just a few places around Lave. I'm not whizzing off into anarchy sectors or anything. I'm also not OXP heavy. I got a couple of texture/sound mods, Your Ad Here, a few extra ships, and some missions (Local Hero, Long Way Around, and Random Hits). I only just added th...
