Oolite Bulletins

[...] the couple of Windows apps I can’t live without. It looks that it might work if the apps don't rely on a "real" GPU to do their job, as they state quite clearly there is no GPU acceleration/passthrough available yet. If your laptop were an Optimus type of screen enabler (i.e. one wi...

Condolences from me, too.

[...] Now proceeding with Oolite compilation. Whew, quite the ride! After couple of ins/outs with wingdi.h (in order to bring in the previous environment's DISPLAYCONFIG stuff), finally managed to get oolite.exe, of course, by using again "messages=yes" for linking :-D And, of (the same) ...

[...] make messages=yes [...] This was what I was looking for (each build system, lately, has an obscure way of enable/disable verbosity of its works). I knew that if I could capture the link command line I could make it work (I've done it so many times with cygwin, that it became sort of routine)....

I tried a local mingw64 build using mcarans mingw64_environment. Couple of things: - I used an (older, but not that old -- 4.4.23(2) msys2 bash, 10.1.0 gcc) local mingw64 environment I'm using for other windows Linux-like tools I like to build. - Being a Linux Slackware user, I didn't pacman anythin...

My 0.02 Cr -- although I mentioned the "unreliable" relative @"AddOns" in Linux, it is something I'm using, again, as someone not making use of the ManagedAddOns. It is useful for multiple Oolite instances where the common ~/.Oolite/AddOns could become a drawback, or an unwanted ...

I've got the chance to try the AppImage build on a Slackware-current live image (Nov 7, 2025) I have around, and things look quite well. Oh, and we've advanced into the modern libpng behaviors (not something I can say I missed -- but we only have 2 files, at least :-D ): 19:51:32.223 [texture.load.p...

From what I can make from this extract from ResourceManager.m file: sUserRootPaths = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: #if OOLITE_MAC_OS_X [[[[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Library"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Application Support"] stringByAppendingPath...

[...] Here is a download link if you want to test: https://www.filemail.com/d/rqboegjegmaysyy. If you do, please let me know what version of Linux you use. Sigh (expected): $ ./Oolite_1.91.0.7781-251216-47a0cfb-x86_64.AppImage ./Oolite_1.91.0.7781-251216-47a0cfb-x86_64.AppImage: /lib64/libc.so.6: v...

Considering for both suggestions I'm targeting the else branch, I tried mcarans non-hardcoding solution, and it works.
Hope it does, too, for environments where env variable is not set

[...] Can you please try this code and see if it works for you? int result = espeak_Initialize(AUDIO_OUTPUT_PLAYBACK, 100, "Resources", 0); if (result < 0) espeak_Initialize(AUDIO_OUTPUT_PLAYBACK, 100, NULL, 0); // re-attempt init with legacy path parameter Just did, it seems to go out on...

[...] Funny enough, it seems to be ignoring ESPEAK_DATA_PATH environment variable [...] This seems to be caused by the line 783 as github shows it, in Core/Universe.m: espeak_Initialize(AUDIO_OUTPUT_PLAYBACK, 100, "Resources", 0); Replacing "Resources" with NULL (as I found it i...

I gave it a try, the binary works[*]. Funny enough, it seems to be ignoring ESPEAK_DATA_PATH environment variable, so unless I'm doing a cd <whatever>/oolite.app; ./oolite . it would bail complaining it cannot find "Resources/espeak-data/phonetab". This happens both with -flto and without ...

I tried it today, everything looks good, even HDR, as expected. One thing I noticed is that I couldn't use 7zip to "install" it (it seems the compression algorithm is not one known by 7zip) by just copying from the exe file. Other than that, the only other drawback I found was the cache cr...

[...] I'm totally confused by the question too. Given a month since the last posting in this thread (damn - now I need a Unix epoch - to YYYY-MM-DD converter to check what " time=1758130358" means), I suspect I'm not the only confused one. 3-d software? In SF? Well, I don't particularly r...
