Oolite Bulletins

Incredibly exciting! Well done everyone!

I've noticed that the snapshot version no longer has the full version revision displayed in the watermark.

The release job doesn't depend on the build-flatpak job. The new Windows build is now faster, and so I think the release job is starting and attempting to download the flatpak artifact before it's been built and uploaded. Previously it just luckily happened to be available because the build-flatpak ...

I'm still here, lurking without a cloaking device engaged! Every now and then I do a binge and crawl through the board catching up on all the posts. I've been really excited to see mcarans succeed getting a build working within MSYS2 and work on updating dependencies, something I attempted previousl...

A few observations that may or may not be accurate... On Windows the gnustep library Oolite uses has been built with TLS support; is this the case with the Ubuntu version? Looking at make_installer.sh the posix installers already seems to compile with deps=yes (via using the Makefile targets deps-re...

@Mauiby: Now that I got some time to sit down and think a bit, here are some comments and advice on your endeavor. First of all, thanks for doing this. You're most welcome! I tend to have far too many hobbies and interests to focus on all of them at once, but at the moment I'm back in a programming...

The type of build depends on the call to the Makefile: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/blob/master/Makefile As noted at https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/blob/0f19e348ef66fa735d66d45a2c53890d7b2b99c8/Makefile#L81 there are four different development targets, and at https://github.com/O...

Is it possible that you have the executable but no complete installation and now the resource files are missing? There's no issue with the Oolite resource files - they appear without issue. What doesn't appear are the GNUstep folders, which ought to be created on a first run. That and the messages ...

Some weeks ago I was having some problems building Oolite on Arch Linux, and so I thought I'd look at the Windows build environment that I had that was working for some clues as to why. The downloadable Windows dev environment is great, in that it just works and everything is all set up. However, it...

Slight correction: 1.77.1 was deleted and is no longer on GitHub 1.77.1 a is still there and can be downloaded from GitHub 1.80 was deleted and is no longer on GitHub 1.80a was deleted and is no longer on GitHub 1.80 b is still there and can be downloaded from Github Looking at the oolite tags using...

Well, I can honestly say that this might be my favourite PR that I've ever seen on GitHub. Well done everyone! I've been struggling to see the bloom, although to be fair, I struggled to see it on the screenshots in this thread too. But it is indeed there - I eventually managed to wrangle an external...

Nicely done guys! I'm really very excited! And a for a brief moment a teensy bit jealous that you got it working so quickly when I was thwarted last year :D I'm definitely looking forward to having a play around when I'm on holiday next week! If a_c's observations can be fixed then we can have a ver...

It sound like you managed to get further than I did. I wasn't ever able to get a full screen quad to display anything useful. I vaguely remember trying to debug it by setting corners of a texture to different colours, and instead only getting the upper right quadrant with the colour of a different c...

I think it would have been my last summer holiday (so probably about a year ago) when I was curious about trying to figure out RTT. After nosing around, I was eventually scared away by the amount of legacy GL code in use. Most places don't even use glDrawArrays but still use glBegin/End! Oolite was ...

I've come to believe that it's a fundamental truth of the universe that whenever there's some sort of newsworthy astronomical phenomenon, the weather wherever I am is guaranteed to be overcast. There can be beautiful sunshine in the days immediately before and after, but at the key moment, cloud.

Have you written any other oxp's? Well, I'd hardly call this an oxp - it was more about highlighting a possible bug in a core mission, which as you can see was promptly fixed. The closest I got to an actual oxp were my Wormhole Drones. Very useful when playtesting some of the mission oxps that were...
