Re: Loadout by Category

Alas, I get this emblazoned across my start-up screen with the newest version... The manifest.plist for "Loadout by Category" is missing the required "required_oolite_version" field. You are an evil sinner. Atone immediately. Sacrifice eight wheels of stilton! Pronounce 256 "...

Re: Slower planet rotation?

What do you thnk? Thy choice, August Admiral! I'm happy with things as they are - I enjoyed the challenge of trying to land on "land" with PF1. If, as you always do, you make it Library.oxp configurable, then adding it into PF2 makes more sense to me . I did notice that "rotational_v...

Slower planet rotation?

This was published on Reddit a couple of days ago by "BicornisGoat": Is there an OXP out there that slows in-game planet rotation down to something more realistic? I like using the Planetfall OXP to land on the planets and it's a little immersion-breaking to see the landscape zooming past ...

Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP

Wow, I've got a lot of catching up to do! :) I'm not sure that all the new commodities make sense. *SW Economy (part of the "Stranger's World" suite of OXPs) has a very interesting rejig of commodity production. Many factors now come into play as regards what and how much is manufactured ...

Re: Only in Australia...

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...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (probably)

.... 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...

Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP

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...

Re: [WIP] new GUI for debug console

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.

Re: Wishes, pleas, suggestions and demands!

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...
