Oolite Bulletins

Hi Commanders Kurt Sibling, Zireael and gang,

I'll try to make some time later to do some sort of thing with tese - just got a ton of commercial work on at the moment and deadlines are tight.

best,

To expand on Ahruman's somewhat laconic answer, low resolution backgrounds/overlays are already flagged as bugs to resolve for 1.75, we just haven't got a simple fix worked out yet... TM, any chance you could post / PM the 4x image? Having that image might just provide extra impetus to the current ...

Hey Ooliters; Ahruman, Kaks, DaddyHoggy an' PA. Groove, That increase in resolution is very good news - I'll make some juicy back display icons when that higher res' kicks in to match the games super fine game resolution - a smooth sharpness we could only all dream of years ago when this was wire fr...

Do any of the polite OOolite Code Boffins know how to employ the backscreens at a high resolution, say x4 in res :?: As it stands, you can’t. Thank you. I'll not waste my your time any further. Of course it is possible! Only nothing is impossible! I'll crack this nut yet - thank you for your tremen...

I placed them in but the back screens are at such a low resolution, while the game runs in a much higher one. When I reduced the icons down to that resolution current for backscreen it is SO low the icons become insubstantial blobs. Do any of the polite OOolite Code Boffins know how to employ the ba...

Wow!

Heading into deepest space... Wonder if any contra-bases could be positioned, faaaar out in the opposite direction of the local star and target planet base as per usual. There's a whole deep game in there somewhere...

Intriguing post Lave.

It's very much possible, though very much low tech from a programming point of view: all we need is to position the icons just right inside a custom market screen background image, then use that backround image! To spice things up a bit, we could provide different iconified background images depend...

Hey Ooliters! Thank you for all you feed back. Yes, these have been created with Frontier/Pioneer in mind. Will do a custom Kaks, when I'm free from work and some spare time I'll investigate market screen background image with a HUGE sci-fi matte painting of some mega-freight depot. Need any other 2...

No worries - if it can't be done, it can't be done.

@DaddyHoggy - it does indeed appear the friendliest forum this side of Riedquat! I'll look into doing some ad rings once I get a feel for the current look of Oolite. @El Viejo - I'll look into the cover art competition for the Oolite fiction anthology Alien Items. Sounds good! @Kaks - here's the ic...

Hail Ooliters! First time poster but an avid fan of Oolite! Gameplay of Oolite is superb and scope of the mods tremendous! I've enjoyed arranging a big batch of icons. I'll post them next week! Should anyone be keen to code up commodity icons for Oolite (if even possible) I'd be delighted to work wi...

Thanks for the guide.

Good stuff!

Tok

Looks great - I'll have a shot!
