Was it not arquaebus who wanted to finish a jukebox that would play music depending on context?

So there are only the two types of "animation" in Oolite then? Or have newer ones been added? If you're alluding to timers and frame callbacks , then yes, two. I'd think of them rather as triggers than animations. So on specific events (e.g. change in alert status), or when a frame is abo...

It's a frame callback not ending on ship.died(), Thy eminence, when I google "frame callback" I find nothing that seems to explain what it is. Any chance of explaining to this dumb pilot... and also why it is important? Seems the big almighty Google is not all-knowing: https://wiki.alioth...

I just died in my ship. Looks like I was rammed again by a Thargoid missile. To verify I opened the log and found lots of JavaScript errors. Here's an excerpt... 18:34:27.804 [script.javaScript.exception.notDefined]: ***** JavaScript exception (oolite-starter-oxp 0.1): ReferenceError: sender is not ...

Should OoliteStarter give back error messages if it cannot forward something? Ah! That'll be it then. Thanks. Brain recovered from Hyper Cargo. Starter could benefit from an 'starter_errors' topic or similar, rather than silently dropping stuff. There already exists oolite/starter for OoliteStarter...

Publishing to games/oolite/debug/oolite/input with messages, trying PS, PS.fuel, {"PS.fuel"}, pauseGame(), and even a desperate {"msgType:debug", "PS.fuel"}, all single quoted. None illicit a response on MQTT apart from showing that the server has received the message....

I think I found a suitable patch. Sorry for the version fast-forward.

More central? Oxford?

More central would be the five lamps in Derby, East-Midlands.

Cool. I'd forgotten about xdg-desktop-menu, since I've not needed to use it in like, forever. For the dev version, shouldn't.... xdg-desktop-menu install /opt/oolitestarter/lib/oolitestarter-OoliteStarter.desktop ...be: xdg-desktop-menu install /opt/oolitestarter-hoopsnake/lib/oolitestarter-OoliteS...

What an analysis! Thank you! Obviously my attempt to separate stable from unstable versions was not complete and you spotted it. I'll stick to the file structure that comen with JPackage. But since JPackage fails to handle the launcher I have a postinst script in the deb and forgot to tweak that. I ...

Perhaps: PS.serviceLevel ... P.escapePodRescueTime I quickly added the above items into the messages to oolite/controls. No real design behind that choice - I just wanted to make those values available so we can play around with them and get more experience. Most excellent! So now you should see me...

Perhaps: PS.serviceLevel PS.targetSystem PS.nextSystem PS.previousSystem P.legalStatus P.score P.rank P.credits P.escapePodRescueTime ... could be published as persistent messages on load and change? (sorry if some of those already are!) I expect there are a few other attributes from above which mi...

When docked your screens can be displaying information: the F6, F7 and F8 screens. Also, from the F4 screen options they can display the Galactic Almanac, the Commodity Markets screen, e-mails, the Missions available list, etc . ...and others could still give direct visibility on equipment, repair ...

We should think of when it will be published (is there a specific event, or should we just fire it regularly (e.g. every second)? Also we need to review which message gets pushed to which topic. And I fully agree some of the messages should be configurable to not create load if they anyway do not g...
