[...] For those who do this, what works for you?

OSX-KVM is what I found quite straightforward to use (Slackware 15.0 on a Ryzen 7 here).

In Mass Effect 3 , there is a mission called Priority: Citadel (getting assigned right after the genophage cure mission). During the mission, the Citadel (galactic center of government) is under attack by Cerberus forces. A target of the attack is taking out the Citadel Council, which the hero (comm...

<lowest hanging fruit> Stargate SG1, season 6 episode 5, Nightwalkers. The short description is that the small town of Steveston, Oregon, United States, is implanted with cloned Goa'uld, which turn out to still keep their "ancestral memories", and start driving their hosts to build a spac...

Also - I've no great idea as to how much memory our wiki uses - or how it impacts on Winston's putting his hand in his pocket each month to pay for it all...

Apologies if the appellative I used caused offense, let me state that none was intended.

[...] You could upload your binaries somewhere though, so Mac users could attempt a test run on actual Apple hardware instead of emulated. I am actually wondering that our wiki master didn't already offer :-D The other way for OSX-KVM users to attempt getting a better OpenGL support for testing, wo...

Heh, you might want to ask "Is There Anybody Out There"
And the answer, of course, would be that some might be enjoying "The Sound of Silence", while some enjoy "The Sound Of Silence"

The thing that "rotated camera" might affect is the "billboard" texture presentation (i.e. objects always oriented to face the camera). I'd expect z-order not to be affected by camera rotation. I am not sure though this is how the the exhaust is rendered (that is, if using billbo...

From the picture posted by a_c it doesn't seem to be a "z-order OpenGL issue", at least not the one that involved the need to render objects in a specific order, to properly handle transparency (if I remember correctly). The missing exhaust trails seem to be intersected and occluded by the...

[...] How does OoliteStarter know a command needs to be run, and which one? Have we ensured there is a suitable Python version installed? AFAIK Oolite does not have any dependency on Python other than the Telescope expansion. If I remember correctly, OoliteStarter is a Java app. Bundling jython cou...

Couple of things that might also help here: find . -name \*.pyc | xargs rm (that is, get rid of any cache that might interfere). [...] I have the mscorefonts, so have Courier_New in four flavours. $ find /usr/share/fonts | grep -i courier /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Courier_New.ttf /usr/...

[...] $ sed -n 2770p DebugConsole.py self.updateFontBox(self.fontList.index(face)) grep -ri courier * in the OoliteDebugConsole2 directory returns blank. The absence of 'Courier' in the .py file seems to happen because it's being picked from a plist file in the Debug OXP. E.g. in my instance, in Co...

For the python 2, due to the [...] File "DebugConsole.py", line 2829, in initClientSettings self.setFontFace(value, plist=True, skipUpdate='font-size' in settingsKeys) File "DebugConsole.py", line 2770, in setFontFace self.updateFontBox(self.fontList.index(face)) exceptions.Value...

For some reasons the messages after the one I posted were not picked by the rss/atom feed. [...] I've got Python 2.7.16 on my 2020 AppleMac. [...] Yes, it seems there is a bit of love/hate relationship between Apple and Python community -- you might be able to pick more current versions from homebre...
