Oolite Bulletins

Have a look HERE . Specifically at the options for markerShape. Combined with what Cholmondely pointed out it is not too hard to change the shape of the Markers on the F6 chart in an OXZ. Tweaking stuff is half the fun in this game. Beware the Dark Side though, it can become quite addictive. If more...

From the sounds of it, I think everyone wants to see how to rework the entire economy to create 3/4/5/x-pole trade routes, all with the existing tech. Would that be a fair assessment? If you want to go into that deep a dive my belief is that it would certainly result in something positive. Re-imagi...

My Windows based joystick has a slight drift to the left. It is usually overcome by a few simple yet hard twists of the stick while the game is paused. Occasionally this drift does become quite severe. When this happens the game gets paused, the joystick is removed from its USB port, and then reinse...

The "type" = "default" variable changes the prices and capacities for ALL of the commodities on your Secondary Market...that are not enumerated above it. Yes, my previous post should have been clearer with regards to that. The wibbly-wobbly timey-winey "unknowns" menti...

The "type" = "default" variable changes the prices and capacities for ALL of the commodities on your Secondary Market. Having played around with these variables for the past few days this one seems to be the most wonky in terms of stable results given the variations possible betw...

The [WARNING]: Warning! Global namespace polluted by: entry in my Latest.log has gotten much shorter then it was back in 2018. This is likely due to updated OXZ releases squashing the bugs that caused the warnings in the first place. Some of the warnings might have also been squashed due to a better...

The [WARNING]: Warning! Global namespace polluted by: stuff has continuously popped up in my Latest.log since forever. It comes in many variations and does not always have the same references nor does it seem to have any relationship to any previous time it has appeared. The best advice received was...

Switeck: Try this. { // Less traveled, less available "type" = "default"; "price_multiplier" = 1.5; // 1.05 would only be a 5% price increase where as 1.5 would be a 50% price increase "price_randomiser" = 0.1; // a 10% variation above or below the 50% price i...

Remember: when defining secondary markets, everything is related to the system or main station price and quantity. So, the "primary_price" is the current actual price of the good at the main station. The "primary_quantity" is the current quantity of that good at the main station...

Would Stargate (The Movie) and Stargate SG-1 (The T.V. Show) not only qualify but also be the lowest hanging fruit possible.

My trade-goods.plist has only had the Alien Items entry Tweaked. They were moved above Gold in the sort order. They also had their sell price adjusted to be a bit more profitable and consistent across all of the Oolite economies. Aside from that my trade-goods.plist does not need any further Tweaks ...

Been trying to wrap my head around these for a while now. It may have clicked but my confidence is still low. All of this comes from HERE . Would truly appreciate either a confirmation of the definitions as interpreted herein or a correction of my errors. Here goes. Primary Price is the Price Averag...

The circles as originally used are fine. Have also tried most of the symbols previously mentioned. The problem with the limited space on the F3 page and the need for a double entry in order to get the underlines has also occurred. The result, as noted, being that the header and its underline end up ...

If you decide to go with the "spara" method of setting up the commodities at your station have a look at this handy tool for figuring out the necessary strings in the [unique-name]_market.js file. COMMODITY CALCULATOR Also remember that with the "spara" method you have to referen...

Came up with a way to Underline the Category Headers on either the F3 or F5 pages. It does involve a lot of extra work and extra entries in a variety of places but it might be worth it once it is done. Have a look. ( 0, 0, "----------------------------------------", "EQ_SPACER_01"...
