Oolite Bulletins

I'm sorry if my weekly updates are becoming monthly updates, irl work is taking a lot of energies lately. Nonetheless, I'm following the thread and I'm working on the mod, slowly but constantly. Can't we use AI to do any of this? Frankly, I would like to use AI the least, since it uses stuff "l...

Oops, excuse me, since the holidays I have been pretty busy at work unfortunately, then I tried to write a tiny script for Tokyo Xtreme Racer (I confess), but I'm ready to continue the work on the mod. I have to finalize the parser for the various interactions, and I'm started to think about writing...

There was also a GURPS role-playing book on space stations (GURPS Traveller: Starports (gateways to adventure) by John Ford, 2000, 130 pages)) I have some GURPS but not this, I'll try to get it. I remember the old BBC Micro game Maze, with similar graphic, and there was problem, that player could g...

Still another example of an irregular shape.

I presume irregular station interior routes can/could be created this way? I was forgetting this! Yes, maps can be irregular, they have to fit the "container" size, that actually is 10x10. As an example, a rectangular. map-2.png You can see the "slashed" part of the container as...

Perhaps a quick 'back to the ship' option could be handy... If I don't find another way to solve this issue, I'll add this as a "fast travel" option, putting the player in front of the hangar. Buon Natale! Purtroppo mi sono dimenticato di fare gli auguri nel mio ultimo post! (Late) Merry ...

While roaming the station any escape key was disabled :?: :( You mean the ESC key? Or other keys? It could be the default behaviour since I am using a custom screen, but if you tell me what key doesn't work I will try to determine if it's something I can act upon or not. Thanks for the report, anyw...

There is a detailed description of a Feudal States oxp “Royal Hunting Lodge” if it is of any help (see our wiki page on the lodge). And another of the Commies oxp “SLAPU”. I’ll need to check our Oolite Fiction, but I suspect that they are the only detailed descriptions of oxp station interiors. Phk...

Regarding interactive fiction, there are good engines out there, but I prefer to adopt an easier approach as a compromise with the game limitations. The basic concept is building a dialogue, or an event, as a series of blocks that define various parameters: - the title - the description - the choice...

Hello, everyone! After nearly 10 years I'm ready to start working on my OXP again, and this time should be the last - in the sense that I want to release, in the next future, a finalized version. I had (and I have) many ideas, and the good people who worked on the OXP during my absence had other ide...

Welcome Back!

Thank you!
Time to get to work again

I installed only LitF REVIVAL (not original LitF) and get problem with specialCargo , ( " (BBS) A shipment of ... " in F5F5 and full cargo ). To repeat: - Take allowed count of missions (maxActiveMissions = parseInt(Math.abs(pFeedback) / 25) + 1;) - Agree on cargo mission with empty cargo...

Hi everyone,
I've read the posts about the issues, I've never had the game freezing but i'll check the mod as soon as possible with multiple attempts to reproduce the issue. Maybe there is some unintendend code loop that I overlooked, I'll reread the code and do more in-game tests!

Just to be clear, Display Current Course isn’t an alternative to creating your own mission map screen. It is designed to overlay whatever your current course is onto any new mission map screen, so that your current course and the new course being suggested by the mission can be compared. It just ne...

Ops, my bad, I just noticed that the additional chart modes are for v1.87, still not released...
