Oolite Bulletins

... Speaking of AI image-gens, I really must sort out a new profile image, but every time I set out to do it, I seem to get distracted ... Not as distracted as I get with your current profile image - it clashes utterly with your character, causing cognitive constipation. Wildebloodian avatar.png Ra...

G5 Inmaarxe: "The planet Inmaarxe is scourged by killer mountain Abzazaaboids."

Anybody have any ideas as to what an Abzazaaboid is?

Have you seen one?

Do they glow in the dark? Do they bounce when you drop them?

Wildeblood's Manor did work for me eventually. I apologise for not confessing this to you earlier. My question is inspired by Murgh's new alpha Mission oxp . It is based on the vanilla goat soup F7 descriptions. The division of economies/political systems/species into exactly eight each. And the de...

Query: F7 screen "planet descriptions"... Is there any way of a second OXP selecting the display of Goat Soup F7 vs Famous Planets F7 - and then swapping the F7 description later? Or would this really need a rewrite of Famous Planets itself? I understand that the most recent F7 variants a...

All the ships in Oolite are ridiculously large, even when you don’t take the tiny planets into account. Weren’t they at some stage converted from N ft to N m instead of 0.3048N m? If so, the sizes on feet were merely surprising, not silly. :-p Agreeing here! The adjustment from feet to meters was n...

Dr Beeb dropped in last year. There is a newer model for a cloud cities which is available from Sol Command (Venusian Aerostat) Venusian Aerostats - (8).png I do not know if it has any docking bays - or if an external dock might be added. Or how easy it would be to convert to Oolite's ".dat&quo...

Query: F7 screen "planet descriptions". Ignoring the one-liner addons ("This planet has rings"), there are two possibilities for the planet descriptions - the vanilla game goat-soup one and those provided by eg. Famous Planets/The Assassins Guild etc. Is there any way of a second...

Comments, feedback and suggestions welcome. Wiki page is now up: ConsoleLogMFD BUT! 1) I don't have any screen shots for it (AppleMac :mrgreen: ) - Thank you, Cbr! 2) I'm unsure exactly what a console message is supposed to be (the wiki programming pages have nothing to say on the subject!).

And I don't think a conversion to Manicheanism would preclude me working on my mods.

St Augustine of Hippo never worked on any Oolite OXPs back in his Manichean period.

Neither did Psattiq, Faustus of Mileve or khagan Bögü Qaghan.

Manicheanism is murder to Oolite modding!

What wrong with just having normal .pdfs in the download? The ones we have been using up until now? Has this method stopped working? I'm just reminiscing about all the fun and games we had with Oolite.org being sold, with the original bulletin boards crashing and the bot invasions of this new bullet...

I've just had another stab with oolite-1.90a2-Mac-TestRelease (downloaded 8th June). Hi, where to download this (or any newer version) from? Any links? Best regards, G I think that I got it from https://app.box.com/s/p78wgne1fitzxyngn8suvtqvwn3h9pm1 Phkb was decent enough to have a couple of stabs ...

The following was posted on Reddit (r/Oolite) a week ago: Oolite on Steam Deck? HI there. In theory being a Linux also game it should work on the Steam Deck correct? Has anyone done this? If so, is it a complicated setup procedure? Thanks in advance! ( YoreHistory_YouTube ) And there has been one an...
