Is there a Discord server for Oolite? This place seems to be rather quiet.

It is even mentioned on the website: https://oolite.space/#community

Could it be that a dictionary internally ends up to be a hashmap and therefore the sequence is not predictable? Could we change this to some container that preserves a sequence? As soon as it does, sorting can be applied... I think you're barking up a dead tree, hiran. If world scripts were sorted ...

No chance now. I can't access my old account and the pictures are probably already long gone. I still have the models. Never finished them due to personal IRL chaos. If I revisit them again it will probably take me a while to get things sorted so I can finally resume working on stuff. I'm not holdi...

Whohoo! Another finding! There is a way to retrieve a sorted dictionary already! Dictionary? Sorted? Well, that's what it seems to be... https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/blob/master/src/Core/Entities/PlayerEntity.m#L12854 I would so much like to see a unit test that verifies the list is sorte...

A-C or phkb can confirm or correct this, but my understanding from days of yore is that scripts are run in the order they are first loaded into the cache, and that depends on the OS; on some it's alphabetically and on some it's by datestamp, etc. So there is a sequence, and seems to be stable (acro...

Oops. This thread is about wormholes.
Yes it's cool with that effect.

Scrap my previous post...

Here is a different take on the effect. https://i.imgur.com/mOZISeZ.gif Temporary link to Windows test executable: https://we.tl/t-of3GBAgMxO Looks fascinating. But just not what a black hole should look like. I mean- since when is it transparent so the planet behind is visible? I'd like a black ho...

There is something unexpected in your setup. I found this text: 2024-10-22 14:37:26,776 WARN oo.st.MainFrame [AWT-EventQueue-0] Could not get version for C:\Oolite java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Oolite\Resources\manifest.plist (The system cannot find the path specified) I do not know your setup b...

I must have misunderstood. The problem I'm having is that the version has not changed and yet Starter is telling me to download it again, and it does this constantly. Where are the logs again?

You can find the logs in $HOME/.Oolite/Logs

Got it, ok! So it can't really track exact build versions.

Umm, now you are confusing me. I thought it does compare the full version number.

How would you expect it to work?

Last night only had half an hour to play, but it was very productive. Finally got a docking computer, and made my wife listen to "Blue Danube" while the Cobra landed.

You should have asked her for the dance.
It would have raised Oolite's WAF tremendously.

So since Oolite 1.90 all we have is 1.91. How would you know whether an updated version is available if not comparing the full version? Which is newer? - 1.91 - 1.91.0.5573-240220-6be83cg - 1.91.0.7640-241005-1b94d45 That implies OoliteStarter needs to know the exact version. This is even checked au...

Pleased to hear that. :D Enjoy! For building your database and filling the columns: You can download a release of the Oolite Expansion catalog. It means you get these html files to your local harddrive. Once unzipped you can then do to the files whatever you please with. If I were you I'd probably c...

How does Oolite Starter check for updates to Oolite? I'm finding that it will notify me to update to a version I already have installed. For example, right now it's telling me to update, but I updated 2 days ago, and the last change was 2 weeks ago. It compares the installed version with the latest...

Next up, I want to create a spreadsheet with as much ship data as possible. There's a lot of individual ship info available, but I can't find a spreadsheet that lets me compare all the ships at a glance. Seeing it all together will help me build a "road map" for which ships to buy, and wh...
