Oolite Bulletins

It is bad enough that Mr. Orange and his Minions have to intrude daily into our American lives. Please do not give them a presence in our escapism as well. Although some well done parody or sardonic wit or blatant sarcasm would not cause that great a harm. Do avoid any Oompa-Loompa references though...

You have already done this with several pieces of equipment in your shipyard.plist for this ship. The equipment you have commented out ( // preceding the item) in the optional_equipment section of the code will prevent your ship from being able to purchase that equipment. Alternatively you could sim...

New Lasers? The Rimmer's Ace Laser is highly recommended but only if you are into Sit Coms and poached Thargoids.

Submitted for your approval, the painfully bad and incredibly low hanging fruit that is SPACE TRUCKERS.

Try using Enter instead of the Space Bar despite what the screen prompt may say. Would also advise to remove the Docking Fees OXZ and see if that helps with the Space Bar not working. Very Nice messages in the Docking Fees OXZ but it is also costing you extra credits that a Commander who is just sta...

One of the requirements for PlanetFall2 is the Library OXZ. With that installed you can to your F4 screen and change some of the ways that Planetfall2 behaves. Although it is listed as Optional in the manifest of PlanetFall2 it is highly recommended that you also install the Planet Rotation Cosmetic...

The Axis profiles within Oolite are very useful and should be set to your preferences. They are not the same as Joystick Calibration however. Via their Spline curve settings the Axis profiles define how the Joystick will function. These profiles can set Dead Zones and the amount of Joystick Axis mov...

Apparently the novel Time and Again is not as popular as previously thought. Perhaps it goes too far back in Time itself, all the way back to 1970. Therefore it is Time to unleash the Google machine. The first one to do the research and get the right answer will win the Chalice this Time.

Two possibilities to avoid this problem. Some of the Wiki pages have download links for the specific OXZs/OXPs they relate to which can be parsed to find the older versions of themselves. Not the case in this particular instance but put here for future reference. The best solution is whenever you ar...

What you have to do to eliminate the rough flying is to calibrate the joystick. This is usually done with the software that comes with the joystick but given its age such software may not be easy to find. Alternatively there might be a way to calibrate a joystick through your operating system. For a...

Single answer question Time once again. Preferably without the Google Machine unless things drag on for too long a Time. Very good Novel which most of you have probably read at one Time or another. Ignore the waste of Time movie adaptation. At the end of the Novel Time and Again how does the protago...

6 to go, and no more Star Wars, Trek, Fifth Element or Doctor Who. Doctor Who should still be available. My original Doctor Who answer was not applicable as it did not have an element of Doom to it. My next attempt of "Is that a Black Hole in your Pocket or are you just happy to see me" w...

Your first code block is the one that is causing me concern. My current thinking is that the only way to make it work is to do a long array that contains all of the Stations that the Messages should appear at. There is no equivalent for system.mainStation that would encompass all of the Stations in ...

"Pardon me but your Regeneration is showing." - Doctor Who. Not actually getting a feeling of doom here. Am I missing something? Doom for the previous personality and physical appearance of The Doctor. Doom for anyone that is physically close by when The Doctor regenerates as the energy r...

Is there a way to get the Messages to appear at all of the possible Stations in a System instead of only at the Main Station? Have several vague ideas on how this might be accomplished but before the Tweaking Experiments begin would like the opinion of some better JavaScript writers than myself. My ...
