Re: Calling all Raspberry Pi owners...

Firstoff, sorry for reviving a dead post (I'm a bit of an online necromancer when it comes to things like this) but this one was the most recent thread about the pi, and is still at the top of the board... Having read all the threads I can find on the subject, am I right in thinking that in order to...

Re: Oolite arcade

...or just get a bar stool :) Thats the idea. Well, actually, its going to be placed on/built into the coffee table, so its just the right height for sitting on the sofa (couch for my American friends) Only possible downside I can see is that you might be on your feet for a looooong time if you get...

Re: Oolite arcade

Shit, I'm impressed if you have the skills to do that... not sure I'd be confident doing something that intense. :) haha thanks, my granddad was an electrician, and my dad a computer mechanic. And I've worked in IT support and maintenance, its really just what I've been trained to do all my life. I...

Re: Oolite arcade

Thanks :)

Thing is, I have a spare KADE to hand, along with a broken laptop (the hinge went) so all I need to do, is wire up the controls and make a case for the whole thing :D

Oolite arcade

Just wondering what people would think to an oolite arcade cab?

Its something I'm working on at the moment for my living room. But ideally, I'd want to password protect save files (more code hacking for me...)

Just wanted to share and get peoples opinions...

Re: [WIP] Fuel Regen oxp

Nice first work! I think it should consume radioactives to be less uber, for example 1t = 0.1ly fuel. Thanks :D Its nice to be appreciated :) Never thought of it consuming radioactives... at the moment, it produces 100th of a light year per radioactive. If its going to consume radioactives, I'll ha...

Re: [WIP] Fuel Regen oxp

Interesting concept.. unfortunately, I found Thargoids Mil'Injectors a bit problematic.. and I don't think he ever managed to iron out all the bugs.. Cant say i've had any problems with it yet, but thats fine. Version 1.1.0 (the release i'm working on now) doesn't need it. Check back in a few days ...

[WIP] Fuel Regen oxp

I have just finished my first OXP, and it seems to be working well for me. Anyone else wanting to have a look, heres the description. But basically, it allows for refuelling your ship "on the fly" when using the hyperspace drive and carrying radioactives :) Download link Enjoy HyperSpace F...

Re: Dogfight computer

Ha, there is a good reason for that! Whatever 'career' the player adopts, one thing remains constant, and that is that the real fun in the game is getting into a mean and dirty dogfight from time to time :) if you 'automated' it you would take away the best bit of the game. :( You wouldn't build a ...
