Oolite Bulletins

I presume that these are another attempt at producing something with enough fat, sugar and salt that the ignorant just eat oodles of it, the manufacturers make a jolly good profit out of them, and the tax-payers get to pay their eventual hospital bills. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4...

.... Great! As for any of the BCC options - sure, all possible. I can make it as complicated as you want. If you draw up a matrix of what should happen in all circumstances, I can code the solution. I'll see if I can come up with something coherent. Question. As regards naming - say - Isinor. The o...

Wow. I created that ad (for YAH) and the background for it 15yrs ago! That's a blast from the past. I think this is where the idea for the Bloomberg OXP came from some time later (based on the various Oolite News channels I created via YAH) It would be nice to expand Bloomberg to cover the newer OX...

Is this still true? ...you can only (currently) pass one parameter in the console ....If you want to know the list of current macros in the console, either use the :listM command in the console, or for the more manual approach look in debugConfig.plist in the config folder of basic-debug.oxp. The bu...

The order of comms messages is: 1. "For planet-side landing please approach and your automated landing clearance request will be triggered." 2. "Landing clearance request received." followed immediately by "Please await confirmation before beginning final approach.". 3...

I've added in the ice cream cone and deleted the hotdog only version above. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m213/griff_03/screenshot-1.jpg download: http://www.box.net/shared/097dywq4o4 107Kb I just realised the 'Mr. WhOopy' sign isn't going to work very well on non shader enabled versions of Oo...

Umm - does this still work?

Just wanted to park this idea here:

A Black Hole would be on the edges of a regular Oolite solar system? Or in Interstellar Space?

Different criminal system. You should not be able to commit outright evil acts of piracy, then make a few skim jumps and have everything forgotten and forgiven. Auto Trader equipment. You just tell it in which system you plan to dock at a station next time and it loads your cargo up accordingly. Ge...

Resources for an OXP Just wanted to copy this post here as I see it as relevant. ... Corporate States are strange though - on the one hand they are the most policed of all systems, yet probably the most ruthless (the way the Sirius Corporation is described in Frontier is a good example) and in a wo...

A paddling pool is not going to help -- my current problem is that I have accepted an contract and find un-avoidable, injector-equipped assassins at almost every witchpoint. I'll try the "skilled NPCs" ...looks like it's default setting is "lowest skill for everyone". I've not d...

Wiggy's response to one of Dr Nil's 2006 many suggestions for improvements (most of which we now enjoy). More of the game OXP controlled to let modders make systems without planets or stars or cops or even populating systems with custom plists and e.g. allow for between system trading posts. Further...

Is there difficulty setting somewhere? Yes indeed. Sort of! I've never tried it, but cim's Skilled NPCs OXP might be tweakable to make combat easier . You will need Library.OXP to do this (via the "Config for AddOns" option on your docked F4 screen). See OXP NPC Combat AI for details of a...

Maybe he chopped his wires in half with that sword of his.... ?

With that hood over his beak he might well have problems seeing where he is going...

You might notice I feel strongly about this. I can't deny it. While I admire what stranger did in manipulating the Oolite engine to do things it had never truly done before, I feel that the things lost in the process were too high a price to pay. For me anyway. Which is why I don't run a SW setup n...
