Re: Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting this *@*#~&ing .oxp
I'd suggest your credit balance reverting was a simple case of thought you'd saved after making changes, but actually forgot to save. Alas, no. It happened several times (G1, G2 & G7) - and each time I'd changed the name of the Jameson save file. Disclose the message you see in the logs. We mig...

Re: Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting this *@*#~&ing .oxp
Since when is this check in the game?
I was wondering myself that there is no such check when I raised my money to buy big ships or increased the auto repair kits to benefit from in-combat repairs.

Re: Update/add to documentation for controls
Took me a little to remember that I can view my current contracts by pressing F5 twice. That (and the primary function of F5) isn't mentioned here: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_Keyboard_Controls There is a reference sheet on GitHub which does mention this but it's stamped with "Out...

Re: Update/add to documentation for controls
Confirmed, the correct PDFs are now packaged with the Windows installer too. In case it can be of help in the future, the Windows installer executables are accessible as LZMA archives by 7-zip. At least on Windows, I can open them inside 7-zip and extract any part of their contents without actually...

Re: Update/add to documentation for controls
Seems like I found the culprit! The extract command would only extract newer or non-existing files (the -u option). I switched to -v -o and have this output in a test branch: Run unzip -v -o artifacts/oolite-doc.zip Archive: artifacts/oolite-doc.zip Length Method Size Cmpr Date Time CRC-32 Name ----...

Re: Update/add to documentation for controls
Now this is strange. When the documentation is built (that means the PDFs are generated), there is an artifact called oolite-doc.zip. That one contains the correct files. Then this artifact gets downloaded and extracted. During extraction I see this log output: 2025-05-05T00:01:54.9016942Z ##[group]...

Re: Update/add to documentation for controls
Plus the odt document is bundled into future releases - if there are any. Actually, just checked and this is not the case. The current pre-release installers contain the outdated PDFs instead of the current ones. That is unexpected. Here is the line that generates fresh PDFs based on the .odt: http...

Re: Update/add to documentation for controls
Only the PDF Reference Sheet is outdated. The .odt (LibreOffice) source Reference Sheet file found in the same Doc folder on github is fully up to date. Plus the odt document is bundled into future releases - if there are any. The PDF version is there solely because not having it breaks the build.

Re: Portuguese Oolite on YouTube & Commander Darkened Room's Oolite
I tried, unsucessfully, to compile Oolite under a Raspberry Pi 4B. This will have to fail for a simple reason: The Rasperry is based on an ARM architecture. Oolite comes bundled with some precompiled libraries. That is not bad per se. But for one they are x86 or x86_64 based, and they are outdated ...

Re: [RELEASE:] Interstellar Tweak OXP
EDIT: Hiran, might you explain the warnings of this type? Optional Expansions mismatch between OXP Manifest and Expansion Manager at character position 0068 (DIGIT ZERO vs LATIN SMALL LETTER N) I presumed that the character position is within the manifest, but I did not find (in the case of the par...

Re: [RELEASE:] Interstellar Tweak OXP
Cholmondely: thanks; when I get time, I'll try to add some pictures to that page. Hiran: thank you very much. But, what, Apple and Linux builds of Oolite are not working? I can see relevant discussion about the Mac build, here . . Discussions? Sure. Please show me some result: Oolite 1.91 usable fo...

Re: [RELEASE:] Interstellar Tweak OXP
It looks to me there is no clear picture how OXPs get published and end up in the player's Oolite installation. To make the receiving end intuitive (that's why the expansion manager was created) some paperwork is necessary. It has been minimized to the absolutely necessary but I would not know where...

Re: deploySite task in github workflow failing
Could you use a URL shortening service (like Tiny URL) to shorten it? That way, nothing else needs to be created. Rather than adding yet another dependency I'd involve timer to test whether https://oolite.space/ is feasible. The string oxz-index-url is looked up in the configuration (GnuStepDefault...
