Oolite Bulletins

Hi, I've been trying to install this from the in-game expansion pack manager (with which I have installed 30 or so expansions without problem), but after downloading the 4.4MB it says download failed, check the latest log. From the log: 22:57:13.020 [startup.complete]: ========== Loading complete in...

Norby I just wanted to say I think this looks really great, a good way of appreciating the effort the community has put into ship design. However, I particularly like the idea of the gallery expanding as ships are encountered for the first time, I think OXPs like this (and e.g. trophy collector et a...

Hi, similar to CmdrLUke's experiences I have just had a mission update screen (5 military ships killed) without having had an intro screen as my current commander's score has only just reached 300. Is there a condition or something I could add in to militaryFiasco.js to turn the updates off or keep ...

Hi, I've been trying my hand at HUD design and it's got me wondering, is there a reason why the bar colours are limited to red, green and yellow? I've seen that the developers are making a lot of great changes to the HUD options for 1.79, would adding in this flexibility be possible? The scanner and...

Heh yeah I'm probably going a bit over the top but I felt the need to make it a difficult start to justify the ridiculously over-powered ship I have my eye on for later :lol: Regarding the initial post, I also noticed that any morals I had went out the window when broke and in a system with Narcotic...

The start-choices OXP does in fact give the Adder a 3 TC cargo extension to enable passenger contracts, but I removed the shipdata override after I read someone describe it as a cheat

Having done the broke-adder start more times than I meant to I'd personally recommend keeping the cobra, the Adder's 2 T cargo capacity makes saving up for a larger ship take ages, and you lose quite a lot each time you trade ships. I used to shoot asteroids for a credit each at the start, but after...

Ahh ok, thanks for the replies

Hi, I noticed when I updated from version 1.76 to 1.77 (and now with 1.77.1) that instead of the saving, loading and file-path navigation being done in-game (on the screen with the black background) I am instead getting the standard Mac OS save/load/cancel boxes popping up. It's not a problem, but t...

Thanks for the replies everyone, and for adding it to the OXP list Norby. Regarding the gun muzzle, when I tried placing the laser further back the beam showed through the ship and muzzle (maybe they aren't big enough?) hence the forward placement. I had similar problems with the exhaust nozzles whe...

Hi everyone, I've been really enjoying Oolite after discovering it amid the Elite:Dangerous talk (Elite was my favourite game as a kid) and I've had a go at my first OXP: the Sonoran. I'm a big fan of Smivs' Contractor (please think of any similarities as 'homages' rather than 'plagiarisms') but wan...
