Oolite Bulletins

I could be wrong (been ages since I looked at the turrets code), but I don't think you can just slap a turret on a ship after it has been spawned. You probably need to define the turrets as sub-entities for each ship you want them to appear on. Maybe someone has found a way to do it by script that ...

FIXED THE PROBLEM:

1) there is a keyconf file in ADDONS, i found by accident while deleting the energybomb files.

2) amended the file and whoah! it works

3) energybomb now works too

Finally, this line in keyconfig.plist will set space to fire the laser: key_fire_lasers = " "; // just a space between the quotes The fact that you tried to change it and it did not work probably means that you made a mis-edit in keyconfig somewhere, so the game failed to read it as a val...

key_mode_equipment = "b"; key_fastactivate_equipment_a = "0"; key_fastactivate_equipment_b = "\t"; // tab what do these keys do, in the game? they dont appear to do anything when pressed. Also, having a problem with the energy bomb key, which I changed to upper case Q, ...

anyone use a joystick? i figure it might help me solve my control issue and all. but i dont know which would be good. there are some plain and some with throttle controls.

ideas?

is there an easier way to locate?



cheers

I was mainly after the gun turret idea, so I can keep going forward but still fight the baddies.. I was quite successful in the previous game with this method. I enjoy trading and stuff, combat is not my bag and the keyboard/mouse combo isn't easy for my lack of dexterity. a question - is there a wa...

I think it's possible to have a "turret mode", in which the pilot virtually takes control of a turret, taking down hostiles, while the ship carries on with its trajectory, like if it were on auto-pilot.

YES! the Panther Clipper was that ship! Sadly lacking from oolite...

Panther Clipper

from the 2nd gen PC game Elite, my favourite ship seems missing from here. Anyone able to make it?
