Oolite Bulletins

Out of curiosity, how does a salvaged energy bomb differ from a regular one? I know most salvaged equipment has a chance of spontaneously breaking; does a salvaged E-bomb have a chance of being a dud? From the ReadMe inside the OXP: In some Anarchies, and even in non-Anarchy-systems, usually in the...

Looks to me like "no". https://ooliteproject.github.io/oolite-expansion-catalog/expansions/oolite.oxp.zzz.Montana05.Far_Arms_Ships.html BigShips is usually listed as a "Required Expansion" in the Manifest (Manifest.plist). And there seems to be no mention of it on the rest of the...

There were a number of massive changes in Oolite which transpired with v.1.80 & v.1.82. A number of our more distinguished OXP authors allegedly threw up their hands in disgust and fled into the waiting mandibles of the Witchspace Lobster, to be engulfed. One or two managed to escape torment af...

Redspear also added his Comms to his Alien Systems OXZ . If you enjoy his sense of humour, you should let the poor chap know! Would love to, but the whole "esoteric restrictions on what systems you can visit" part bugs me too much. If it was made optional I'd be happy to add it back. Try ...

Hmmmm, a lot of the textures for these replacement stations are pretty dark. Makes them a little hard to see from distance sometimes. I like the new comms on Solos Alt Stations; regular stations feel kind of eerily quiet compared to them. Incidentally, while I have the Globe Station installed I don...

It is the way the game works. The salvaged equipment needs individual entries - and this OXP was composed back when Energy Bombs were part of the vanilla game. There was then a massive argument (Keep them! They are classic Elite! <> Junk them! They are unfair to NPCs and are player-centric). The fr...

Absolutely.

Mighty One!

Might you perchance possess a copy of the missing texture for Tetiri by any chance?

...it's such a great addition.

Two quick questions...

1) Do you still have any of the old/missing OXPs?

2) Which controller/joystick are you using? Any chance of sharing your key-bindings?

I'd been given to understand that some mystical matter referred to as "GPL" (or some such) had laid various metaphysical constraints on the manipulation of these screens. Just stumbled across this: The text display area is 512 units wide, regardless of window size. Presumably there are he...

Would this work for the AppleMac too? I've two problems. i) Thrustmaster TFlight Hotas 4 needs a complicated button-press ritual to work fully with the AppleMac. But when Murgh tried it on his AppleMac, it would not work. ii) Can't get my CH Pro Throttle to be recognised when my CH joysick is plugge...

1) Might it not be, that with the development of AI, that we could eventually hand over development of Oolite to a more developed AI? - https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=21850 - Qwen's suggestions for modding Oolite - Wildeblood's recent publications of AI derived scripts (Witchbank for just o...

Strings starting to exceed their allotted space is definitely an issue I've been noticing, it can be a problem with some of the extended planet descriptions too. That sort of thing often becomes an issue when things get more complex than what Elite/Oolite was originally planned for, like how if any...

I expect you know a lot more than I do. I'm sorry? I rather fear that you might be labouring under a massive misapprehension. A chap who liberally strews around terms such as jscal and jstest-gtk? And you really think that this dumb pilot knows more than you do? To me they sound like the maniacal m...
