Re: Oolite Flavours

Not sure how relevant this might be but have a look at a few OLD POSTS of mine on the subject of renaming OXZs.

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (probably)

Have not yet had a chance to actually fly about with v2.5. Did have the time to give it my usual Read the Files and Try to Learn Something™ once over. Most impressed by the included scripting tutorials. Learned a lot about arrays and such which might come in handy at some point.

Thanks Once Again.

Re: Wiki backup server is available

Perhaps some protocols need to be put into place. 1) Administrator approval of a first post. 2) Proven track record of posts (a few months ?) before edit status is given to any part of Oolite. 3) Anything anyone else can come up with ? Understandably we are a trusting lot. This is a somewhat small n...

Re: [WIP] Bounty system OXP

Optional Please. And now for something completely Handwavium. This may have been posted by me before but a quick search could not find it so here we go, possibly again. There are at least three types of Space. 1) Standard Space - Planets, Stations, Ships, etc. 2) Witchspace - Wormhole Space used by ...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

From a purely personal point of view (as mentioned previously) the main reason for my landing on Planets and Moons is to buy stuff when the Stations in a system are too few to fill my cargo hold. If traveling, via whatever method, from one Landing Site to another while Planetside precludes access to...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

Please alleviate a bit of confusion, with the understanding that this is still in the beta/experimental stages of development. The travel from one Planetary Landing site to another is done by some other means of transportation but your ship travels with you? Far too much Handwavium in that scenario....

Re: Oolite Flavours

You might want to add a Flavor for the Additional Planets and the Stations for Extra Planets (SFEP) suite of OXZs. SFEP is dependent on Additional Planets whose textures closely resemble those of Povray Planets . These work well for those not wishing to go with Stranger's physics changing OXZs. The ...

Marvel Universe both Comic and Cinematic, The Infinity Stones. Take the Infinity Gauntlet out of the equation as it was much bigger than a breadbox.

Re: WOOT-Attack!

Likewise, if you have weapons unlocked and you pick a new target - even by accident - this will also be considered a hostile act against that target. For clarity's sake and to be consistent in terminology in the above line change unlocked to online . Confused me for a bit until the OXZ was actually...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

Besides, I could always download and then tweak my own copy. My thoughts exactly. A working and good looking v2.0 should be the primary goal at this point. phkb Which of the many text to image A.I.'s did you use to get those images? Being also graphically challenged, and thereby totally incapable o...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

Either one looks good. Perhaps use both, or even more of them, for different Landing Site types. Really like the Landing Beacon with the planet moving underneath it concept. In the original Planetfall a likely looking Landing Site was chosen, approached, and then the "Please Wait" message ...
