Oolite Bulletins

One thing needs to be clarified. Gnat is already included in Random Hits OXP. Installing Gnat ship OXP has no direct effect on Random Hits. I've searched for the Gnat ship (griff_gnat) in the unzipped shipdata.plist file in oolite.oxp.spara.random_hits.oxz_FILES - lots of references to the gnat, bu...

Yay!!!

Yes - installing the Gnat OXP worked.
I met my target... and a bunch of pirates - and was blown to bits

But at least it works

If you remove an OXP that contains the mark's ship, it will never appear in the system, and you'll get no in-game warning. That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way to check that the relevant ship exists in my set-up? I've had a dig through the log files and they don't mention specific ship...

OK - so I've accepted my first target from Random Hits. And I've spent a week buzzing around the target's planetary system with no joy. I was beginning to think that I'm just employing rubbish tactics when it hit me... I've never encountered the type of ship that the target flies (a Gnat). So - is i...

Know what you are installing.

Fair point, I think it would also have helped if I'd got the install of Oolite right first time - because it's all got a bit messy (as evidenced above).

Y'all didn't know. Y'all came here and asked, "Which OXP does the Python ET Special come from?" We done told you, "Staer9's shipset." Sorry Wildeblood, no offence meant. Yes I did ask specifically about the Python ET Special. But what I really wanted to know was how does one fin...

For oxp ships it is in the Config folder of that particular oxp. For core ships it is in the Oolite/oolite.app/Resources/Config.

and how do you know which oxp a ship has come from?

Deep breath... I can't find an uninstall option in ~/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Oolite Plan: 1) backup my Oolite saves 2) run /opt/Oolite/uninstall (probably as Administrator) 3) If any of the following folders remain, rename them: ~/.Oolite /opt/Oolite ~/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/O...

Before I get to the next post the original question has not been answered...

How does someone know where the shipdata.plist for a particular ship is?

I would go for a complete uninstall, then a new clean install and start from scratch - but that's just me. OK - maybe that's a good option. But - given it's installed (at least) twice (as an Administrator and not)... How do I go about uninstalling? AND - even more importantly - I can't cope without...

Whoa! Can of worms... I've found the log (in ~/.Oolite/Logs) NOW I'm confused. In the log at the top it says stuff like: 11:31:08.474 [gnustep]: 2014-11-04 11:31:08.474 oolite[3673] Failed to recurse into directory 'AddOns/Staer9ShipsetShadedv1.2.oxp' - list Then it picks up these oxps: ~/GNUstep/Li...

To explain how I installed Oolite (I think!) I've installed it several times in several ways to try to get it to work (for some reason I had trouble in Mint to start with). Eventually I installed it from the Mint Packages menu - which I think you're right is version 1.7ish Then I downloaded v1.8 fro...

Yes - I was asleep due to my posts starting quite late last night (UK time). I'm just having a go at changing the views - one question, why is the format different? In the example you give it looks like this: view_position_aft = "0.0 9.150712 -64.8269"; In the Staer9ShipsetShadedv1.2.oxp i...

Where did you download Oolite 1.80 from, btw?

This version of Oolite was easier to install than previous ones because it's now available in the Software Packages for Linux Mint.
However that does mean I'm less familiar with exactly what was installed.

Sorry fellows - but you're not helping much - just to explain, in the opt/Oolite etc directory there are the following OXPs: BGS-A1.9.oxp Delightful-Docking.oxp liners_v1.6.oxp System_Features_Rings_1.1.oxp BigShips 1.02.oxp Griff_Shipset_Addition_v1.23.oxp randomshipnames1.4.oxp System_Features_Sun...
