Oolite Bulletins

I've upgraded from 1.75 to 1.76.1 but when I load a 1.75 savegame into 1.76.1 most of my ship equipment disappears eg. docking computers, witchspace fuel injectors. Anyone else had this and know of a solution?

I don't think I'm an addict. My wife disagrees. :mrgreen: I think we've had this discussion before. If your "significant other" enquires about your Elite/Oolite/Frontier/Pioneer obsession, take some time to explain it to them. If they still don't get it, well that's their problem :wink:

Here's another variation; I'm not an Oolite addict, I'm a Frontier addict :D Actually playing the game (FFED3D): probably 2-3 hours per week. Fiddling around with my website, producing Kindle versions of FEU fiction (my current hobby) and various other nonsense takes up somewhere in the region of 20...

Hold the press Steve! :oops: There was some small conversion errors that crept into the text and it moved one of the pictures to the wrong place, so I've uploaded a new version called SOLOTF1.1.pdf. Sorry about that :( No worries! I'm not going to be hunched over a keyboard very much while this nic...

How??? Been trying to sort out TOC creation myself.

I was working from an HTML document as the source, and the way to do it is to put the chapter headings inside <h1> or <h2> tags.

How you generate a TOC from another source, I wouldn't have a scooby

Great work!!

I've converted the stories to Kindle format; though not perfectly. No matter what I try, Calibre won't generate a table of contents

EDIT: Ha! Cracked it! Should have a Kindle version ready in the next day or so

Crumbs, I'm not an expert on any of this :lol: The scanner would produce a picture file, presumably. So you could insert each page of "Secrets" into a text document in OO and then get it to produce the pdf file. The only problem is that it wouldn't be a "true" pdf book ie. the re...

This has the pictures included. If I was doing this myself I would copy the text of the stories into something like Open Office and then add the scanned pictures to the file and use OO's "export as pdf" feature.

I really hope D1 improves the download section of SSC soon. It seems really limited, compared to the old version.

Anyway, the best I can do with SOLOTF is here but it's in html, not pdf. You can use Calibre to convert it though.

I have scans of mostly everything that came with it in the original box, but try as I may, I cant find a decent scan of the galaxy map. Does anyone know where I might find one?

Have you seen this scan of the map at the Classic Amiga website?

I've been playing this quite a lot over the last few days, and it's great!

Anyone into Elite who owns an iPhone or iPad should download this pronto.

Personally I like the fact that the docking is quite forgiving; you can let the entry slot rotate as you go in and you'll survive

Very important point.

Never, ever, under any circumstances post drunk

Must re-read The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (the whole five-part trilogy). Some classic stuff in there

I don't post here much, but I'd like to express my gratitude for your excellent Oolite fiction stories. They will grace my Kindle for a long time to come!
