Oolite Bulletins

New version with fixes for spelling mistakes in descriptions and mission text. Removed comms messages from bad guys as they were not varied enough.
I thought it might be possible to use the existing comms packs and death comms with those added by this oxp, but that was not the case. Oh well.

The ship that I am generating the comms message for will always be an NPC. Ah, got it. What role(s) does your NPC have? And are they using the Priority AI system? Yes they use the priority AI system. From the AI priority js script ai.setCommunicationsRole("sr_extremist"); ai.setCommunicat...

Comms Pack A is about NPC comms, not player comms. You can work around it, but you'll have to manually do the expansions in your "expandDescriptions" call, by passing a dictionary with all the relevant expansions, like this: var msg = expandDescription("[commsPackA_defenseship_killed...

Hi I'm having a problem understanding how to get this setup for the PriorityAI. oolite_entityClass = ship.shipClassName oolite_entityName = ship.shipUniqueName I would like to be able to reference some of the comms messages in my own OXP but keep seeing that [oolite_entityName] is not being expanded...

The comms package is not that much used by other OXPs. I can't see very many people refusing to have it - just not wanting to have it yet because the game is still too complex and they need to master MFDs. By the time they are in G2 with 500 kills they will be well able to use it. Okay, I give up I...

Cool. That was fun!! My eye caught a few typos and a random extra word. Suggest you do a search through descriptions.plist and missiontext.plist for these and tweak. squeek(ing) should be squeak(ing) shew(s|kind) should be shrew(s|kind) formular should be formula cought should be caught This one's ...

Thank you for the feedback,and good to know you had fun. Please ignore version 0.6 it still has errors in the mission text. :oops: I was not getting emails when posts are added to this thread. I should have checked first. I have tweaked the number of bad guys. Any suggestions for more comms messages...

I have created some generic backgrounds for GNN, but am having random results when trying to use them. In my oxp in this.startUpComplete() i have this.$GNN._addExtImages([["ShrewsRights_GNN_11.png", "ShrewsRights_GNN_12.png", "ShrewsRights_GNN_13.png"], ["ShrewsRig...

Just be aware the license is one of the most important items to declare. We've seen marvellous OXPs that just lack a license and thus never get into the expansions manager. I agree. I have seen a few wiki pages saying that as this OXP does not have a license it cannot be updated. Which is always a ...

At the moment people are looking at this thread. In another month's time they will only be looking at the Wiki (if we get something up there) and at the Expansions Manager descriptions (if you post this OXP there). It would have been sooner but I cannot spell! What do you wish the wiki page to be c...

I have not yet read all of your post. Just wondering: if you need to give that much advice upfront I believe something is missing inside. All the information necessaey to solve the mission should be given to the player in slices when he needs it. As Cholmondely pointed out all the information to do...

Why the fascination with shrews? Rather than, say, Mountain Seoids or Lobsters? Lobsters are already give rights and Mountain Seoids are not mentioned in the planet description texts or eaten as steaks. ...And is "Zafrusteria" some sort of nod to Zarathrustra/Zoroaster? No nothing like th...

Hi Fellow Commanders, I have almost made it into the dark side. Here is a new mission in galaxy 2 to help the shrews there gain rights as full citizens. I would therefore ask for some testers to step forward and brave the mission. It can be downloaded from https://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/8/88/O...

Semrush is where companies go to find info on other companies and people. They provide us with nothing of use, just parasitic wasters. I have them banned on my companies web site. Semrush kindly provide a page for white listing themselves, which can of course be used to black list them. They say the...
