Oolite Bulletins

No problem, I certainly didn't take any offence

Neal.

Add something - anything - to the OXP's name, to distinguish from Capt. Okti's Long-Range Scanner. Thank you, I did search for Long Range Scanner before starting this idea but didn't find anything. I can certainly change the name. phkb you bring up some good points. I originally was thinking of sca...

Starting a career as a bounty hunter but having trouble finding the pirates? Trying to avoid pirates but keep getting jumped out of nowhere? The Geotex Corporation has the solution. The Long Range Scanner is a series of enhanced scanning modules that can provide a complete look at the system you are...

Thanks Wildeblood. I thought something I was doing with the OXP was somehow causing it

Neal.

So I was working on some ideas I've had for OXPs and something rather strange happened. I was in the X system and playing with an idea to show how many pirates are in the system and set a waypoint at the nearest pirate. My idea here is to make bounty hunting a bit more fun by making it possible to t...

At this point, no it cannot be damaged. I think of it as more of a software patch that will work in any ships navigational computer rather than an actual piece of equipment. As such it cannot be damaged.

Thanks again everyone. Norby, it took me a little bit, but I figured out where to put the statement you suggested. I didn't have a worldScript which was causing me problems when I first tried to put the awardEquipment in place.

This would need naming rock hermits, like with the OXP "Random Ship Names", but the naming would have to happen earlier, during contract creation.) Possibly not, what if the contract just states "Passenger desires passage to the xyz system. Final directions will be given en route.&qu...

Thanks, I'll do that when I get home this evening.
Neal.

Thargoid,

Sorry to hear you have retired from OXP development. I'll take a look at making the modification.

Thanks again,

Neal.

Being a newbie to OXP develpment I'm trying to figure out how to implement installing the item without it being purchased. Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks,

Neal.

A friend of my son saw me playing oolite the other day and asked about it. One question he asked was how hard it would be without a joystick. I explained that although it was certainly easier with a stick, it was still quite playable. His first hurdle though, was docking. When using the keyboard it ...

I'm pretty new to this, but here is the code that I've modified to make this work with 1.82. Anyone familiar with the market properties, I'd be glad of any comments or corrections. I didn't come up with a way to bring in both peak_import and peak_export. I created a multiplier based on peak_import. ...

Thargoid, Thanks for such a wonderful expansion. I have recently started doing a lot of mining and thought it would be wonderful if the Cargo Shepard would pull in splinters as well as cargo pods. I saw a comment about that earlier in this thread, but wondered what you thought of the idea. From a co...

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I found oolite a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. I've been looking for an elite replacement ever since my Commodore 64 went in the attic. I just started playing again recently. I got tied up with projects and pulled away from games for a while. In any case...
