Ouch, that hurt my ears! No need to shout.

How about setting a broadcast range for each beacon, the default being that the beacon can broadcast the witch-point : planet range as default. If further away, like the rock-hermit above then maybe not picked up on an advanced space compass (unless compass set to higher gain mode ?). That would be...

Strangely, there is also an 'in book' reference to the same, in the second edition of SQ... :wink: A big "booohh!" for blatant advertising here :lol: (and for an ineffective one, too, because you should at least provide a link to it). Now that the billboards come to my attention again - a...

Added Tianve Pulsar specific equipment item, descriptions and availability Yep. Works. Got one! Added player interaction to internal character Yep. Met R. when approaching the Pulsar Station. Maybe the lady was a bit pissed at the guy who set up all the billboards that sell "Status Quo" a...

Hi! One little annoyance for me that should be easy to fix: When I am docked and e.g. in the Game Menu, I'd like to be able to "wrap around" with the cursor, i.e. when I'm at the top entry and press cursor up, I'd like to end up in the last entry, and vice versa, when I'm on the bottom ent...

Both problems can be caused by to many oxp's installed for your hardware resulting in to low framerate counts. . What was your FPS value? Not sure what it was at that particular moment, but my box has about 20FPS - nearly anything disabled and low resolution. I'm already investigating which GFX-car...

As the Advanced Space Compass logs into the systems buoy network and knows where the beacons are - why does it not show the distance to the selected compass target? The Rock Hermit Locator once indicated a target, so I turned my ship in this direction and I flew, and flew, and flew... It felt a bit ...

Also in non-euclidean space straight line is shortest distance between two points! The problem is that the Oooniverse witchspace distance calculation algorithms are based on the original Elite ones, and emulate them down to the bit, including the rounding errors. When I first tried this distance ca...

5. Less cruisers - In v1.2 there are 24 liners moving at present, with 6 loading near the station. There are a total of 12 adboards. I deliberately made it this way to give the impression of an extremely busy tourist system. Feel free to remove them if you wish (config.plist in the oxp), but if any...

Hi! I'm using Oolite version 1.73.4 (x86-64 test release) under Linux at 2009-11-29 21:40:14 +0100. I noticed two things in connection with a Rock Hermit: When I try to dock with a RH using the Docking Computer, sometimes the ship stops and "roll" just jumps from -1/3 to +1/3 on the HUD, m...

I can promise you that it won't be only the sticker. There is major code-reworking in progress. Just sent Drew a couple of bugfixes and suggestions. :D That would be nice. How about: Visible rays emerging from the hot spots of the pulsar? Being hit by such a ray means "get fried fast"? Gr...

Misjumps...even that shouldn't be too much to worry about?

Depends on your skills. Maybe this is something for the thargoids to be more worried about than you

There are two sad points to that discussion:

a) that the kid probably really believed that his script would work somehow
and
b) that some spoilsport locked the thread.

And the guy who gave the software to the kid was probably following the thread and laughing his a... off.

Yours, Christian
