Oolite Bulletins

Greetings of hale be unto thee, Commander Cholmondely! Thy eschatological excellence! With Phkb's new version of PlanetFall, would you be interested in helping out with naming planetary sites (for a new version of Famous Planets)? This is not really my field of study at the moment, but I'll give it ...

Thanks, Redspear. I appreciate your confirming reply regarding the first released, non-commerical, fan remake of Elite. "Elite II"... If you go to http://knackered.org/angus/beeb/elite.html , and click the "Elite-A.zip" link before the table of contents, to download the zip file,...

Greetings, Commanders Which was the first non-commercial Elite ? When was it developed? When was it released? Can anyone beat Angus Duggan's Elite-A ? Developed late 80s; development complete May 25, 1993; release permitted on or before February 11, 1997. Please confirm. Thanks for playing along. Ki...

Someone give me a tough one this time

Where is Cirag?

Please pardon my extreme noobish noobiness, but, in more than a decade of rather studying about than actually playing any kind of Elite, I have never yet found the answer to this question, and, therefore, I appeal to the superior practical experience of any commander(s) out there who would kindly pl...

hiran, I took a look at oolite.space, the Elite Wiki and the bulletin board's page sources in my browser (right-click, View Page Source), and could find (Ctrl+F, "font" and "style") no indication of any specific font being used on the respective homepages. ...unless I just missed...

How would we go about (1) determining which (out-game) font should be used, and (2) establishing and requiring said font for all out-game media/materials? Should we have proposals and a vote here on the Oolite BB? ...or do we actually already have candidate fonts? What would the criteria even be fo...

I agree. I think you make a valid point; one which I had not previously considered. So, as far as the font(s) is(are) concerned... I think most of us will agree that a FOSS or similar font(s) should be used. I suspect, though, that the in-game interface and the "out-game" media/materials m...

When I automated PDF generation in the Github Oolite builds I found out the documents were making use of Microsoft Windows fonts. Which is a problem if you want to build in a non-Windows environment. Have a look at the OpenOffice documents in https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/tree/master/Doc ...

Hiran,

In your original creation of the  Branding wikipage, you also referred to fonts... Which fonts? Where might those fonts be obtained?

Thanks.

Kind regards
user

P.S. To anyone interested, a parallel discussion is also being conducted at https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Talk:Branding.

Excellent! Thank you both, Hiran and Cholmondely.

Greeting, Commander Hiran <o I think I could try to maintain the Branding wikipage... although I'll have to read up on the manual of style; I have never done anything like this before. However, my main concern is that I am a relatively-late arrival on the scene, and I've only recently become concern...

Salutations, Commanders <o Would it possible to attach all (or at least the major) previous logos, icons, fonts etc . to the Branding wikipage, or, at least, on that page, hyperlink to repositories of all previous resource-materials in this regard (with associated dates of having been in use, and re...

Short answer: yes!

Thanks.

Forum default time is UTC. Select your own time-zone (adjust twice a year for BST/DST if applicable), and all should be fine. Thanks, Commander Cody. <o Does this mean that my imagined observation, of UK timestamps seemingly changing, was just that: imagined? ...and that, if there actually had been...
