Oolite Bulletins

More thoughts: * A metaserver listing all servers. * Ability to change servers while docked. * More powerful .oos'cripting (like mission screens allowing dynamic data, for server news maybe or hi-scores). But maybe the focus should be put first in a simple in-game "download/remove/update/disabl...

There's a bug in the Cobra Courier OXP It has an "images" subdirectory, it should be "Images", with capital I. If i don't rename it i don't see the bg image (linux here). see: > unzip cobra_courier.oxp_b.zip Archive: cobra_courier.oxp_b.zip inflating: cobra_courier.oxp/Config/cob...

IFrom there would would be able to move the camera around by zooming and rotating, so that you could get any angle you liked while you were out there, always with your ship as the focus. The problem with that (for me) is the number of key presses it requires to move the viewpoint and manoeuvre the ...

DISCLAIMER: I haven't played the original Elite, and i don't know if this has been suggested yet but... i've played some elite version in which the cargo pods were very bright (the were brighter than stars) so... What about blinking lights in the cargo pods? As a way of "Highlighting of cargo p...

I am with Odo987 : Lasers should be top and bottom. In this case, they would really become very usefull. Maybe in the OXP should there be an option to tell where should be the laser mounting (and thus which direction we should look at with the F1 to F4 keys) The view directions can be changed in th...

I've never been able to use them either. I've always wished there were top or bottom laser mounts. The roll-pitch combination would make them uniquely controllable. I've got a military laser front and aft, but a top or bottom mounted mining laser would be very welcome. bottom mounted laser! would b...

Come to think of it, others ought to be using the same logic for refuelling, so there ought to be a sparesly-populated witchpoint->sun lane. Actually, anybody who is near to a station doesn't needs to go to the sun to refuel (fuel prices in Oolite are very cheap). It makes much more sense to popula...

Right button is recentre virtual joystick, which is a lot more important. :-) more important? i just noticed it recentered when i tried the trunk (i was using FancyTargetter branch, which doesn't do that) But it does both, first recentres, and if you keep pressing the injectors work, well, actually...

Hi I tried the mouse control (shift-m while fullscreen) and found that with only one hand in the keyboard it was a bit difficult to get to the keys at the other side, especially fuel injection (i), and less important others like missile firing (m) or radar de-zooming (shift-z) too. So i thought it w...

Aha, most helpful!

I tried to put that in PlayerEntity\ Additions.m, inside - (void) setMissionChoices but then the first input was lost

any ideas?

I mean, i think this should be enhanced: a) you may be paid more than regolar slave price by insurance company) Wasn't there in some version of Elite (don't remember which) a "lawful" rating and a "criminal" one too? If you had enough rating you could do more complex/better_payi...

I am noticing input "stuckiness" when selecting an option in consecutive mission screens. That is, i click return selecting an option in mission_screen_1, and then the default option of mission_screen_2 gets selected. I have made a test oxp (available on demand) with 5 consecutive mission ...

I still see it in rev. 378, linux... maybe i'ts a Linux only thing?

Great! just bought mine :P What about some range indication for the non-selected targets? In example, alpha value of the reticle decreases with distance: Index: src/Core/HeadUpDisplay.m =================================================================== --- src/Core/HeadUpDisplay.m (revision 370) ++...

@oO: Do you think we could please have them posted under new topic titles rather than appending them to this one topic. Then I could work through the issues with each small change at a time. Yea sure, i'll post them to new topics. EDIT: better if i do in the Expansion Pack forum, i guess. Or email ...
