Oolite Bulletins

I finally have an average commander on my ironman challenge.... and I almost lost him. I had just jumped into a tech eleven communist system, after a hard ITHA run to a nearby anarchy system. I had 800 new credits to my account, which is a princely sum for my little under-equipped Moray. I come out ...

So I started a new commander, (Actually, this is my 4th attempt... I'm trying to make it all the way to Elite on "hard core" mode. No respawns, one life. Very difficult.) and I had the extreme misfortune to misjump after only a few days of playing him. Well I managed to hold my own, though...

You should be able to do a "Save as..." in Notepad++. Or you can rename the file in Windows Explorer. Just make sure you have the extensions visible, otherwise your "mydoc.txt" file will probably just be shown as "mydoc". See this URL for info on how to show file exten...

That file should not have a .txt extension, though. It needs to be named " equipment.plist ". Yeah, that's the thing, I can't figure out how to make it not have a file type of .txt. Is that something that needs to be done inside of Notepad++, a "save as" sort of function? I feel...

Hey All, So I'd just like to preface with a quick apology - I did do my research beforehand, but I was unable to find an answer to this or I'm somehow missing something and thus unable to do it. I'm sure there's plenty of people who just ask questions without searching for the answer, but I have att...

A suggestion, if pricing and financial concerns are a problem with the OXP - Just like giving a price per killed pirate, maybe tweak the code to give a smaller percentage per pirate that flees? May not be possible, but an idea. As far as contracts go: 1. Some contracts offer a low up-front price, ho...

Hey Norby, Is there some way to force escorts to disengage? I just started off a new commander and hacked in two sidewinder escorts. I intended to make a story off of them about a ravaged family trying to make their way in the space system. However on my maiden voyage, I got attacked by a granite co...

Dang, you beat me to it! Merry Christmas, happy holidays to everyone. May a fleet of Boa's come and drop a cargohold of presents upon thee! Regardless of why you celebrate in this time of year, lets hope that we can take at least a few days out of our lives to put aside bickering and just enjoy fami...

Currently when you would like to be a pirate then during torus travel you must press "j" again to stop your ship when a target is appear in your scanner, or a drastical solution is if you temporary uninstall the oxp. I rather like the idea of having to press "J" again. Think of ...

If someone has an idea for a nice stroy for this ship, i have not found a nice one INTRODUCING! The All-New SecretaryBird, from AviaNautics! Sure to raise a tail feather or two from the competition, this would make even the Fierce Horned Birds from Bixein blush with envy! It's sleek design and spac...

Hey Rustem! I just got this OXP. It's definitely a nasty surprise to find a large convoy of ships and haulers in the sun. They don't seem very happy about you showing up, either! I was almost at scoop level when my radar just lit up with contacts, and I was forced to engage. I could barely see a thi...

Well, I feel rather dumb right now actually. I think the problem might have been with Ship Version. The screen I saw is actually from Ship Version oxp, not Ship Comparisons. I don't have the time at the moment to test that for sure this is causing the issue, but I realize that screen was not from Sh...

My first quick test allowed me to buy a new ship and store the old one. I could then swap between them quite happily. This was with both OXP's installed, and other even more invasive ones (like Ship Configuration). Can you post a list of all the OXP's you're running? The "latest.log" file...

ShipComparison doesn't do anything with the current player ship, or with the menus in HH, so I'd be very surprised if it was the cause of the conflict. But I'll check out the combination and get back to you. Well what happened was that when I'd buy a ship, a screen would pop up detailing all the sc...

Thank ya'll. I ended up doing a bit of guessing work and figured out it was another OXP causing an incompatibility. Thanks for your help though.


.... I should find the time to make my own OXP. I've got some ideas of my own. I've just never done coding before. Oh well, there's always a first!
