Oolite Bulletins

The message box is the standard way of all Windows games that I have played till now for handling a -help parameter type command option. That is standard? Well, I left that OS a long time ago. And am happy where I am today. What is the problem if the user needs to click OK or press Enter or Esc on ...

I'd like to give educated feedback, but I cannot find build artifacts for download. Building manually does not make sense for me. From what I understand on the Windows version: Please keep command line interaction to the command line. Opening a message box will not allow Oolite to terminate without ...

I suppose a javascript could compare PS.energy with PS.target.energy and issue an appropriate warning. But is that really all that is involved? So all that guff on the PitViper wiki page about sharpness and hardened hull is complete and utter baloney? Do we know whether sharpness or a hardened hull...

I assume the current steam version is Oolite 1.90 which cannot download expansions. Would it make sense to add in OoliteStarter?

In a nutshell, can't get it to start Oolite. Other Apple users? Do you all have the same problems? I think we figured out OoliteStarter cannot resume games - this is a problem in the Oolite core game that does not support that command line parameter. Hmmm, now I am thinking. Could we override this ...

Galactic OXPs
The argument against the first is that of too many flavours - and - not everybody will use OS (us AppleMacists, for example).

I'm sorry but I do not understand why AppleMacists would not use it.
Is there someone who could describe the issue?

Not quite. The idea is to have just the one collection of all the OXPs which "add" specifically to G2 (eg: the Ionics mission in NE G2, the Isis Interstellar station in G2, the Shrews Rights mission in G2, etc). Thus one can play Vanilla G2 - or go for the tutti-frutti G2. That way, one n...

Hmmm. I am not sure what I am thinking. The level of the question exceeds my knowledge. While I know we have expansion, an expansions manager and meanwhile flavours to install expansions in flocks I am unsure what combination of them is meaningful. You might as well ask me how to write characters, h...

While we could assume version control of our website might be sufficient it's purpose and access are different. If someone searches for Oolite he may well find historic versions on the internet archive. Finding our site's history in our git repository is unlikely. Thus I believe it is worth allowing...

Timer has done a very good job in the past, but his time is limited. The task is more HTML related than into programming. If he gave hints what to look at, who could help finishing off that goal? Yes. Time and/or skills are limited. Those of us who have more skills, have less time, and vice versa, ...

I found the problem.
Jane's Galactic Shipset caused the last bug.

removing the oxp did repair the game.

Well done! How did you actually test and finally pinpoint that OXP?

I still cannot repair my ship. After buying large cargo bay, i started loose 70 max speed everytime i leave a station. Removing all oxp doesn't change the problem. I really want to play it, but atm its to buggy. I am wondering whether it is possible to 'replay' your situation. What is your OS? Vers...

Surely participating in such a party would be an unparalleled experience (for me). But it takes me near three months (ideal) only to get a visa... But I don’t give up on this idea - besides, one pilot invited me to visit for tea ;) How about organising a "Roolite" do somewhere closer to y...

difficult question... in theory, I can try to create a truly static version, maybe I can even build it (create automatic) from the current one, but doing this within the current implementation of the site is probably too difficult - it would be easier to try to create it on a separate domain like s...

Here is some technical information about the Internet Archive / Wayback machine: https://help.archive.org/help/using-the-wayback-machine/ On the page I found this: Why are some sites harder to archive than others? If you look at our collection of archived sites, you will find some broken pages, miss...
