Re: [release?] (tentative) Newts Mining Scanner Upgrade

Congrats on your first publishing! Now comes the fun part: user feedback :) I like to mine too and think this is a great idea. But... - you've got at line 113 for ( idx = 0; i<numRocks; idx++){ which JSHint reports "'i' is not defined." Luckily, if fails to execute, rather than loop infin...

Re: How to see target damage?

It wasn't my first OXP in the end. Last night I wrote a Mining IFF Scanner Upgrade to colour asteroids, boulders and splinters differently for easier tracking when mining :) Also - I didn't realise mining lasers were THAT good in combat!. Better than beams!. 5 shots to kill a Moray Starboat that was...

[release] Newt's Mining IFF Scanner Upgrade

Hi there, This is my first OXZ. I started this afternoon after getting annoyed at losing splinters on the scanner so I got bored and decided to jump into my first mod. Basically It's a purchasable ( and saleable ) upgrade to the IFF scanner. Once installed it colours the lollipops for asteroids in w...

Re: How to see target damage?

Then that is my project of my first OXP. I shall work out how it's done. I know my way around Java, Java Script, xml, a bit of C/C++ and Objective C I'm sure I'll manage. 8)

Though my above query still stands.

How to see target damage?

Hi there, Does anyone know of an OXP that will allow me to view my current target lock's shield and hull status? Or just a simple health bar if it's just all one value. I'd like an indicator as to whether I'm wasting time on a particular ship as I spent ages emptying energy into a Gecko last night w...

Re: Reducing Ship Value?

Thanks for the info guys :) I thought it would all just buff out with some T-Cut. I look forward to the day when I can play my Cobra like a steel drum.

Re: Question about trading

I'm somewhat of an elite veteran ( but new to Oolite). In the original game rank didn't make much difference as to whether you'd get attacked or not, can't comment on Oolite yet. All pirates generally weighed in. So if you felt your ship, equipment and most importantly piloting skills were up to the...

Re: Introduce Yourself.

Helloo.. I'm NewtSoup ( Ruth ) New to Oolite but not Elite, I played the original way back when I was about, well I won't give that away but it was 1984 and I had an Acorn BBC B with DFS. Recently made the (permanent) switch to Linux but still very much a gamer. Sadly ED doesn't work on Linux (yet )...
