Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

I just tried via the manager and it installed fine. What I did do was try downloading in a couple of different browsers - Chrome was fine, but Firefox (with No-Script) complained about a cross-site scripting issue and refused to download it. Not sure if that helps, though. Downloads from the direct...

Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

the OXP is working for Cody. At me also. Maybe a retry of download in the manager can help? I just deleted my entire cache, everything under GNUstep/Library/Caches/org.aegidian.oolite I still get download failed and 22:37:54.999 [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not contain a manifest.plist,...

Installed (via manager) and seems to be working fine here - boulders are flashing at me.
Oh good! I'm glad it's working for you. Oh I wonder if it's because although I exited to the main menu I didn't actually restart the whole client and the cache needs flushing.

Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

This means that the direct download prevention of your hosting service is working well, so you must us...

Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

this is why it's not working: latest log says: [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not contain a manifest.plist, has been left in /home/ruth/GNUstep/Library/Caches/org.aegidian.oolite/Oolite-download.oxz However it absolutely does contain a manifest.plist: { "identifier" = "oolit...

Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

Still waiting on Wiki username and password.

Tried adding a direct download URL from 2 different sources to the manifest on oolite.org but neither allowed downloading of the OXP in game. Stuck with manual install for the time being

Is it possible, using the debug console, to make an OXP reload while the game is running?
The whole oxp is not, nor anything in .plist files, just the content of js variables and function codes.
Thank you Norby.

Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

Is it possible, using the debug console, to make an OXP reload while the game is running?

If I change some of the script for instance. Can I get the game to use the new script without restarting or does it pick it up automatically?

This post is just a link test to see if I can get a direct download from microsoft one drive. Also if someone's feeling kind can they tell me if they get a direct download from the google link in the first post or if they get taken to the google drive page first and then presented with a link? I'm t...

Re: [release?] (tentative) Newt's Mining Scanner Upgrade

I was thinking, since you're almost there, why not add cargo, with a special colour (w/ maybe an alert sound) for escape pods/black boxes. Then you could prioritize what you go after when other ships are around, scooping up stuff too. Hi Cag, thanks for the info on getting the debugger working. Mos...

Re: Deterministic Oolite

Right, so in Javascript Math.floor ((Math.random()*11)+1); gives you random number between 1 and 11 with a linear distribution for a number between 0 and 100 with a standard distribution we could do function myFunction() { var x=0; for ( n=0;n<10;n++){ x += Math.floor((Math.random() * 11) + 1); } re...

Re: Deterministic Oolite

You can easily get a bell curve by summing multiple random numbers between values. for example the ever popular D6 roll a single D6 100 times and plot the results on a graph of occurrence / resut and you will get roughly equal columns for each number between 1 and 6 roll 3D6 ( for that magic STR, CO...
