Oolite Bulletins

Actually, I've had to change two entries for my recent updates.
One in the alphabetical listing and one in the separate categories lists iirc.

Do you mean the alphabetical listings here: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXPs_% ... _%27F%27#A ?

Is that not auto-generated?

I agree that it would be useful, but it would be difficult to implement because it would reduce the space available for the other columns (in particular Brief Description). I am trying to keep it so that at a width of 1280 pixels (a fairly standard resolution), the Brief Description is on one line (...

If I've made any errors on the pages, I apologise. The OXPs listed are only the ones from the existing categories pages (http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/All_OXPs_by_Category), so if your OXP is not there, I haven't entered it. For a few OXPs, I tried searching the forums for more details so I could...

Right it's pretty much done now: http://oxps.wikkii.com/wiki/Oxps

Please click on the links Enhancements, Expansions and Miscellaneous (Ships will point to existing Ships wiki pages)

Does anyone have any objection to replacing the existing categories pages with these?

Yes. I haven't finished yet. I'm currently painstakingly entering all the information in the categories pages into the sortable tables with the view of replacing the current categories page in due course. The front page is the same as the current wiki but with the new categories, which if you click ...

Ok I will try that. Thanks for the advice. I have the injectors. I have found what I regard as a cheat way of not being destroyed by pirates or their missiles. If you accelerate time to maximum, nothing seems to be able to lock on to you. I've had a thargoid warship and drones follow me all the way ...

Rather surprisingly, it happened again. The thing is the ship I was blown up in is much better than what I had before. It is a Python ET Special with shield boosters. I destroyed the pirate, but he fired a missile as he died. I ecmed a couple of times but it did not destroy the missile. Next thing I...

I would agree with you that an author actively maintaining his/her OXP should be the only one to update the Max Version. I was thinking of the specific case of OXPs abandoned by their author but which are found to still work in new versions of Oolite. I guess that a better solution is for a user who...

Nice work...this is a promising start, and it's nice to see someone actually trying something rather than just talking about it. Thanks. Will it rely entirely on the OXP authors to keep their entries up to date, and if they don't, how do we know? Yes. We will know because the "Max Version"...

EDIT: These pages are now live at: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP#Finding_OXPs For OXP authors who do not have a wiki account, please PM me details of any OXPs that need to be updated or are missing using the format: |Category |OXP Name and Brief Description |Author |Min Version of Oolite |Max...

I imagine this has been discussed before but I couldn't find any threads on it.

It seems odd to me that the quantity of good available at a station is not enough to fill even one large ship eg. would a highly populated rich industrial world only have 60 tonnes of machinery to sell?

I'm inclined to think now that it is an Ubuntu Lucid kernel problem as I have read about freezes on Google and had one with similar symptoms when I was not playing Oolite.

Well I couldn't resist or more to the point, I couldn't stand any more going back and forth between Isinor and Ensorius. So I got the Python ET Special. Just getting it equipped now...

Another 2 more crashes :cry: Didn't increase log level but I do see GLSL errors. Could these cause a crash? [log.header]: Opening log for Oolite version 1.74.2 (x86-32 test release) under Linux at 2010-07-30 17:31:27 +0000. 4 processors detected. Oolite options: procedural planet textures, docking c...

What I'm saying is that defining OXPs by catagory is not straight forward, and that perhaps it should be left to the Author to put it where THEY think it should be. Oddly, this is a good reason to keep the catagories few and simple in nature. Yes that's exactly the point. The idea is that these pag...
