Oolite Bulletins

Again: That bot comes in as unregistered user. It does not attempt to authenticate but it does not hide itself either. That's why the forum software is able to identify it. How would you expel an anonymous user without locking the forum for only registered users? Sorry. Did not understand what you ...

So bots can only read data. That's my concern. If the bot only has the same access as a guest, fine. But the things are registered . This presumably gives them access to things which are kept secret from unregistered users. (Have you tried seeing what you lose access to without being logged in?) Su...

Seems to work again. Alas it does not seem to work on my macbook: (USC -> Profile -> Edit Avatar) opens the settings, but in the drop-down list box "Avatar type:" only the default option "Gallery Avatar" ist available. I get no option for uploading a custom image in the list. I ...

What I want to point out though is that this bot, although scanning us without specific user account, is detected and treated with 'bot provileges'. And this shows up in logs, online users etc. So nothing harmful is happening. I've no desire to make the board invisible. Just restricting access to (...

There is another possible issue, Hiran. Interaction . One can interact with the Market Inquirer MFD to select which commodity is shown, for example. And ditto for a number of the others such as the Ship's Library MFD (choose page/chapter) and the Communications MFD (choose most recent/choose those ...

And the bot is back again. Edited to say : almost 2 hours later and this blasted bot is still in our BB spying on us. The forum is publicly viewable. So anyone can spy on us - a decision we never questioned. But we can change it to only allow registered users. What I want to point out though is tha...

It appears you essentially want all mfds taken off the main screen and onto something else! Not the combat ones. But, yes. I'd love to see the equivalent of an astrogation console, a trade console, and an engineering console, etc . Makes sense. Imagine you build a multi screen setup. One big screen...

So I am playing a bit with Maik's OXP and it communicates the ship speed nicely.

Remain the questions:
- what data we ultimately want to have avaialble? (Maik was only experimenting with the ship speed)
- where/how shall it get displayed?

But how/why there is a user account for a bot is still a question mark for me. However someone could have registered an account, then put the credentials into the bot. And to mark it up changed the username in the aftermath. If we block this user I guess the bot will conclude the links to be invali...

Likely connected: viewtopic.php?p=262642&hilit=BB+Facebook

How come this gets membership of our Bulletin Board? How does this add in any way to our community? And why is Facebook spying on us? It's a frequent visitor. Very frequent. More frequent than Bing, in my estimation. Presumably, it follows links people have posted to Facebook, and censors posts con...

Definitely more efficient. Might Maik's solution work on a Mac? He started off with an AppleMac, but I have a feeling that he moved away to another operating system. It should work on a Mac. The challenge is to make Oolite connect to a Debug Console - not the internal one. That's where we failed la...

one_armed_man made it for his son. There is some rather sardonic commentary on Timer's Roolite BB which discusses some of this. I read it some years ago when Google Translate was more useful. And Maik came even closer to the request for multiple displays by using NodeRed: https://bb.oolite.space/vi...

Interesting thought. Currently Oolite consists of one single window. If you have more than one screen (be it on the same or a different computer) that space remains unused. I think there was someone who described how to add an additional screen to Oolite. How did he do that? And what information wo...

Maybe I should have a look at configuring all the 12 HUDs which I never do... Please forgive the OT, but... 12? Nope! still not enough. I struggle to manage with 10, and can't understand how I managed before MFDs. When oh! when, will we be able to serve up ALL our MFDs over http so we can open them...
