Oolite Bulletins

Thanks! Mission accomplished, Quite Grand Sub-Admiral, SIR!
<Stomps to attention and salutes in proper Monty Python fashion>

And thanks for this great game which just gets more fun as you play

Wow, he abandoned ship again! I wonder if I should leave the abandoned ship at the witchspace point, hurry to the planet, and save? Does flotsam get saved? Or is it forgotten with a save? Of course, others may take care of it before I return... ---- Ok here's what I've learned. I left the derelict a...

Confirmed, I am pausing 4b68e0c to dispatch this note, as I have just met the constrictor (reborn!) at the witchspace buoy. I suppose it's possible to create an infinite number of OXPs or OXZs that break even the original Elite missions. I believe the deep space dredger OXZ or OXP provides a bonus -...

The original recycling bug: ...that ship was placed in the recycling area for ships... ... I may have discovered another "recycling" bug... First, I'd like to express my thanks to everyone for the help on the constrictor hunt -- I'd never have succeeded without the "F7" hint! LOL...

Ah, that explains it -- thank you!

Reporting on nightly build 4b68e0c: it works great for my set-up, with no issues noted. Activities include trading, passenger contracts, parcel delivery contracts, and a lot more fighting. I am very un-Elite, so it also includes quite a few reloads. Unrelated to the nightly build, I think my bad hab...

You're right, it's fixed! Thanks!

Today I played 7eae3c8-dev.x64 through about 50 system jumps, with many passenger and parcel contract deliveries and quite a few combats. I've also installed ambiences recommended by Norby, which have been quite fun. No issues. I found it quite cool that one of those OXZs has ship exhibitions, almos...

I recently downloaded the latest nightly trunk, and have run through about 70 trade-launch-jump-dock cycles without any program issues. Together, these have constituted several contract runs from one side of the chart to the other, initially accepting a high valued contract, then accepting all contr...

I'm glad to have revived this thread. It's been a real pleasure reading through these several pages of origin stories

Thanks for keeping this repository alive!

You're spot on, "oolite.exe -nosplash" prevents full screen from crossing multiple screens on my AMD Radeon dual monitor setup!

Thanks!

Funny, that windowed mode title was right under my nose! Thanks, that's very handy.

Oolite v1.85 May 27 2017 has no obvious artifiacts -- it's working great. I've just finished maxing out the Cobra Mk III (mostly), but haven't started the hunt yet.

As always, what a great bit of fun! Thx!

I've been experimenting with five different versions of Oolite, and recently I've found myself thinking I was using one version of Oolite, when in fact I was using another. Is there a simple way to test which version of Oolite is currently running? The trunk versions conveniently list the version nu...

*** Disregard this comment, I'm becoming confused about which version I have running *** I noticed that the CTRL-F key, which worked great in the 1.84 x64 build, does not seem to have any effect in the latest nightly build. *(edit) Although CTRL-F doesn't seem to have any effect, CTRL-SHIFT-F shows ...

Great, that was the fastest response to a bug report that I've ever seen! :) Honestly, I should not have imposed the full screen issue on you, since it appears to be unique to my set up. Thanks for the suggestion -- I updated the Radeon driver to 15.200. Also, I downloaded, installed, and have just ...
