Oolite Bulletins

Library only remembers the most recent news flash. It would be much more useful if it recalled many more (as communications log does!). I do understand that this will make our save-files resemble even more closely the US National Debt in size, but I feel the bloat would be for a worthy cause! Shoul...

If you want to rewrite it all in some way that makes it easier for you, please do so.

Here you go: Oolite.oxp.cholmondely.Hints.0.0.94.oxz
Give that a try, and if it still works OK, I'll update the manager.
I included the extra items you mentioned.

Well that’s a relief! I’ll put a release-worthy version together this afternoon, with an actual version number change in it, and then we can look at source code check-in and hosting.

This dumb pilot would love to help - anything to help those extending Oolite to others. But, as a dumb pilot, I totally fail to understand how I can help you. 1) I don't know what a string is. I don't know what a method is. 2) I don't know what a changeable value, a function or expandMissionText() ...

The item “Shields” is there. However, these two items are in the next item in the list, `Aiming`. I use

Do you have the "Armour" section at all?

I've create a new version of Library with all text moved into missiontext.plist. I haven't put this into the manager though, as I feel it would be better to have a couple of people try it at least and report if there are any issues. Library_1.8.oxz With any luck, this version will be much easier to ...

OK, try this download: oolite-1.90a_try.zip

And I did check that this runs correctly:

Hello! I suggest adding an addendum in the future. I'm using RUS_LoadoutByCategory_190 v1.36 At the moment, the process of creating the (rather) large equipment-overrides.plist is an automatic process that depends on equipment items being part of an OXP that is on the expansion manager. If you can'...

I'm doubtful that there is any difference between 1.9 and 1.91 for Library... but Phkb will put me right if I'm wrong. The big difference between 1.90 and 1.91 is the keyboard configuration, which has an impact on some of the keys you use in descriptions.plist to show them. For example, here's a pa...

I can confirm the bug. I'll try to get a fix issued over the weekend.

Yeah, I've done something wrong. I'll have to power up the VM on the weekend and try again. Bit late now.

I can see an error from Library in the log: 00:12:13.710 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (RUS_Lib_Cubecode 1): TypeError: worldScripts.Lib_Cubecode.$head is undefined But that's not the name of the original code file -- that appears to be from (and I'm guessi...

Hmm. I’ll have to have another look at that on the weekend. Something must’ve gone wrong.

But I was wondering about our unused F8F8 screen (except by Market Observer, detailing the ship hold contents by price). Would it be theoretically possible to post the details of the change on that? I'm not asking for it (you have more than enough on your plate at the moment), but I was wondering.....

Have you investigated the possibility of utilizing an abstraction layer from OpenGL to Metal? A very quick and dirty search reveals a project called MGL but I don't know how feasible it is to set it up for Oolite or, in general, use it. I'll have a look. If it's straightforward to implement, *maybe...
