Oolite Bulletins

I'm trying to create a believable Larais (...the planet is permanently shrouded in a thick, orange haze. No-one knows exactly what secrets are to be found at ground level as the industrial fog is simply too dense.) 1) Orange without a planet texture seems to become purple with a texture! 2) I can't ...

Oh, I know how to force a misjump. I meant when I get the notice from the Welcome Mat OXP that an alien vessel has been detected; I run all over the system looking for the Thargoids and almost never find them. I've never really bothered. But if you are up to them, our various Thargoid OXPs are joll...

Don't you hate bugs that sense you're trying to examine them and hide? Is that why we only ever end up with Thargons/Alien Items and never the Thargoids themselves? That does sometimes seem to be true of Thargoids too... it feels if I'm actively looking them in a system I never find any. Almost alw...

roles = "baakili-fartrader bigTrader(0.05)"; seems to imply that the chance is 1/20th of a full role. So if you have no other BigShips loaded, you will see one in approximately every 20 systems, or less depending on how you set the populator in "Config for AddOns" (Library.oxp) ...

There is now a wiki page up for DevTools I can't pretend to have any idea as to what this one is supposed to do. 1) Config for AddOns There are 16 entries on the F4 Config for AddOns under Lib_ConfigTest: Bool-B0-Empty setting Bool-B0-No Def Bool-B0-No Desc Bool-B0-No Name Bool-B0-null Bool-Hide all...

Been running it for a bit now; no errors that I can see, but also haven't met any Baakili yet. The latter doesn't necessarily mean anything of course, if they're meant to be rare. roles = "baakili-fartrader bigTrader(0.05)"; seems to imply that the chance is 1/20th of a full role. So if y...

Been running it for a bit now; no errors that I can see, but also haven't met any Baakili yet. The latter doesn't necessarily mean anything of course, if they're meant to be rare. Sorry again! I'd not realised that this OXP was separate from the FarArm ships OXP (ships are not my area of expertise)...

Sorry for the late reply, somehow I missed your message. :oops: No worries :) You might be able to divert to a simple mission screen: "No shipyard facility present", or similar. Finally, found some time to refresh my Gui coding and found a simple solution: this.guiScreenChanged = function...

Vagrants can't afford the fare. Lobstoids =/= human. Why, seriously why do you people insist on over-complicating everything? Who says they are vagrants? Tiraor is a revolting little planet. Oreseren is a revolting little planet. Cevege: This world is a revolting dump. Velete is a revolting dump. E...

We need EQ_VIDEOPHONE, EQ_CALENDAR, any other excuse to add pictures of pretty girls to Oolite.

I thought you'd already done it! More excuses?

...Human in-system passengers can just ride in the cockpit.

But what if they haven't washed, and smell? Or if they're lobstoids and have not hermetically sealed their exo-skeletal joints?

I've noticed a common cause of savefile bloat for myself is that I like to try out OXPs for a while and then remove them if I decide I didn't like them after all. Is it safe to manually delete keys associated with OXPs that aren't there any more, or is there a risk of ruining the save or causing un...

The impression I got from the wiki page was that it needed Bigships because it's a type of "big trader" ship, and relies on its ship-spawning routine to create the Baakili ships. You are quite right. The need for BigShips is missing in the Far Trader oxp's Manifest.plist. So it should wor...
