phkb managed a Mac build so where was he getting the required dependency binaries from?

Also, cim was a Linux guy, may have had access to Windows machines but was developing on Linux.

I found Jens’ download for limping and used that, and I just hacked out the Sparkle code and excluded it.

Apologies for allowing this to fall into a hole. Not being a native Apple developer, everything I try involves some extended period of time researching for a possible fix, then more time trying to wrangle said fix into the code, only to find the fix doesn’t work and starting again. Very time consumi...

Quarantine systems are an OXP feature, definitely not in the core game.
Yes, GalCop missions implements quarantine systems, and will stop you jumping to them. There is a way around this quarantining, though.

I’ll turn it off by default for the next release.

I guess. Except it’s not really an attempt to rebuild ED in Oolite. It’s not comprehensive, more a scattergun approach, taking bits I had seen or experienced and thinking, “Hmm, what would be possible in Oolite?” You wouldn’t, after installing those OXPs, instantly be reminded of ED. It’s still defi...

v1.90 macos. I got a high-paying (and presumably long-running) GalCop mission to pick up ingredients (for a medicine?) (milk from nursing tree wolves?, magma from a volcano, and banana syrup?). This mission, however, after accepting it, no longer opens. If I try to open it at a station, it just pop...

My OXPs that have some sort of origin with ideas in/from E:D
- Ship config
- Ship repurchase
- Manual Witchspace Alignment
- Bounty System
- Fast target selector
- GalCop Missions
- Equipment storage
- Modern Start

New version of PF2 (v2.15) should be on the DM shortly. With many thanks to NiteOwl for the debugging help!

"Add" just adds expansions. "Replace" removes all installed expansions, then adds those from the chosen flavor. So whatever existed before is replaced with the flavor the button belongs to. (In practice if takes the short ut of not deleting something that would get installed aft...

I believe this has always worked that way: from amber to green, from green to docked.

"prop" is short for property, and is what one uses to loop through an object that is not defined as an array, so doesn't have key values that are nicely consecutive numbers. Library is highlighting the fact that the variable "prop", because of the way it's defined in one of the ...

I wonder if Victoria will have standard gauge tracks by then? :evil: :shock: :roll: Why change, when everyone else is wrong? :lol: That's cool, how in a thousand years time, they're still using steel rails with sleepers - none of that maglev nonsense. I blame generative AI. It's holding us all back...

It’s done. Just haven’t got around to documenting/releasing it.

Not sure if anyone would be interested, but I've added the tool I use to recreate the loadout by category plist files to GitHub here: https://github.com/phkb/EquipmentReordering.

New version 1.3.2 is now available, which is probably more relevant to users running Oolite 1.90, as it fixes the ordering on the F5 screen (which had gotten messed up).
