Oolite Bulletins

Big D means none of them had actually registered (and attempted to post), they were only 'guests' (possibly testing our shields). Normally, only a few hundred guests might be present at the very most - 3583 guests is extraordinary! Have these hits been on the forum or the wiki? If there are numerou...

... licence - obviously a type that should be license... Depends which country you're from/in - I believe both spellings are used. I do agree we human beings stick to human languages and are quite fault tolerant - which means we still understand the message. However these manifest files are a stand...

I changed the maximum version to be 1.80. Or should I just take the OXP down from the manager? Putting that max version should actually serve exactly this situation. Only if we know that noone is running a pre 1.82 installation it would make sense to completely take this OXP down. Do we have any me...

I have other questions: What do we do with OXPs that come with unknown fields (e.g. licence - obviously a typo that should be license)? What do we do with OXPs where manifest content and Expansion Manager list show different data? (e.g. Taranis, where the minimum required version from the OXP is 1.7...

For my feeling it should be mandatory, probably offering CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 and the resent CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. How would you handle the conditions/clauses some authors add ? This is like a versioning issue. If they add conditions, basically they have their own version of license. That means they need to ...

Latest extract from the Expansion Manager's OXP list:

Hiran's great work of Extraction yields the following: Cost 12000 Tech Level 7 (available on 71+) There is an error on the calculation for "available on 71+": 7 and 1 are added as strings -> 71 instead they need to be added as integers -> 8 I fixed this (and some more stuff) in the latest...

It seems quite ok to forget the license. Or why else has this field not been marked mandatory? http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Manifest.plist#Optional_keys For my feeling it should be mandatory, probably offering CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 and the resent CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. How would you handle the conditions/c...

OK, thanks maik, got it. So, here is what can be done to restore OXP availability until the main wiki is fixed: 1. Download this file: https://we.tl/t-kSL5XbzA2H . It is the collective OXP manifest, with all download links originally pointing to wiki.alioth.net now switched to point to maik's serve...

For OXPs the wiki contains some nice documentation how to create, how to pack it up and how to distribute the expansion that users create. But once that OXP archive is uploaded to some publicly available location there is still one more step to be done: Register the OXP in the expansions manager. Th...

Hi,
can somebody say to me, how much that equipment costs an on what Tech-level it is possible to buy?

Auto-ECM is available on techlevel 8+.

Remember, I did not start the discussion on license, it seems an ever-ongoing topic and stalling further development or fixes. Unfortunately, you are correct with both, it is an ongoing topic for many years now, and it certainly stalls the recover/fix of old OXP's. A lot of times an overwrite will ...

Another thing is that declaring a license in the manifest seems optional. Yet a missing license starts huge discussions and uncertainty afterwards.
How about making the license field in the OXP manifest mandatory?

Does anybody know what the status is of the license for NuVipers ? One can assume that an author who uploaded his work to the expansion manager had a proper license. Sometimes, for what reasons ever, it just happened that he forgot to add it to the manifest.plist. It seems quite ok to forget the li...

it seems not to affect "Remove Items", just "Sell Items". Well, it should have affected remove items. *has peek under the hood* Oh, right. HUD Selector doesn't have "remove" in the description for its remove item, only in the name. *grumbles something about inconsisten...
