Re: OoliteStarter question

Hello Hiram and thank you for your reply. In answer to your questions: macOS Tahoe 26.0 on a M4 Mac mini Crossover 25.1.1 The Java version is where it get embarrassing for me as I don't think there's a version installed on the bottle (VM).

OoliteStarter question

As the Mac port of Oolite is falling behind the Windows version, I decided to try running the Windows version on my Mac using CrossOver and it works really well. Gameplay is good, sound and video are good. The only thing I'm having trouble with is OoliteStarter. I unpacked the files in OoliteStarter...

Re: Oolite running in a VM on a M4 Mac?

Hello and sorry for taking so long to reply. The short answer is no. I did manage to build a linux VM but it's Ubuntu 64 ARM server with a desktop GUI chucked on top. Oolite won't build as a library it requires isn't on this VM. It was an interesting exercise and a steep learning curve :shock: I can...

Oolite running in a VM on a M4 Mac?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum and will be happy for moderators to move the post to the right one. Has anybody managed to get the Linux port of Oolite running on a VM hosted on a M4 Mac mini? I'm beginning to think that it's not possible due to the ARM architecture but would be happy to be ...

Re: Introduce Yourself.

After a few years away I have returned to fly the cosmos and start my trading career again. Only I've switched from Windows to MacOs and things have changed quite a bit with Oolite. After some initial hiccups I've managed to get it installed and working. Am I right in thinking that the macOs version...

Re: Millenium Bug? Star wars ships..

Thanks for the greetings and thanks to Norby as it all works now.

I also made the changes to enable the turrets but how do I know if the turrets are firing ?

I might be late to the party but I'm really enjoying it :D

Re: Millenium Bug? Star wars ships..

I know this is a very old thread but I'm hoping that some of the people may still be around... In Diziet Sma's post I can see where the changes go in the shipdata.plist for the headlight and scoop flasher, but I can't work out where the Scoop-Cam code goes. Any ideas anyone? I'm playing version v1.7...
