Oolite Bulletins

I've reproduced the issue on the current version 0.1.33. I've made a video that shows the problem in action. It's a combination of things: unclear UI and multiple versions of expansions being loaded into the game without any indication (in the UI) that this is or isn't going to happen. (It happens ...

Thanks! Here is my system configuration: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz MemTotal: 32782872 kB Good stuff. So, more oomph than I'd tested with. ⁻-- starts up Development version 1.91.0.7730-250725-52d7194 Ah! That's before I'd shoehorned espeak-ng in. Give my latest a whirl! O...

The reason is mentioned at the end of the Readme.md: So oolite .gitmodules allows forks to use their own versions of the submodules ? Especially for 3rd party submodules (mozilla js, vorbis , ogg ) that seems unusual. It has to. How else would you develop stuff that requires changes to the submodul...

Nice work. I'm wondering where a test build might be available.

Have been busy this evening. Latest attempt I've removed old includes, and now use espeak-ng (thanks LoneWolf). This version runs nicely on my Ubuntu 24 LTS. However the restrictions on speech output remain. If turned on they can block the game. Quite unfortunate as whenever I target another ship a...

It'd be cool to get a 32 bit version of 1.91 working on Linux, even if 32 gets dropped soon. Who would really use a 32bit system today? Linux 32bit is not available on today's desktop Linux distributions. Even Raspberries run aarch64. The effort to maintain such a build is bigger than the time for ...

Oolitestarter is fantastic! I would like to see one small feature - the full date and time of saved games and possibly highlighting the latest saved game. I've made a feature request: https://github.com/OoliteProject/OoliteStarter/issues/7 Now that makes me smile. Here is an old screenshot from Ool...

I truly don't understand why OoliteStarter has to be so precious about old versions of OXPs to the extent that it breaks things whenever I update. Every time I update OXPs I get errors on load saying that I have duplicate expansions. And they're all the ones I just updated. Because OoliteStarter se...

I have asked Cholmondely for wiki access via PM but oddly my message remains stuck in the outbox. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to send. Every user can only store so many messages. Check on your other folders whether you see a quota warning. And if it is not you it might be the recipient.

With both CLion and Visual Studio Code, you get syntax highlighting and the ability to run makefiles. I've not been able to get the debugger to work fully in either. With CLion it ran, but there are no debug symbols so it won't stop at breakpoints and you see assembly language if you pause. With th...

Can't blame JetBrains from earning money for providing professional IDEs. Typically their policy is to have a free community edition that may be used noncommercially. Well, there is no money behind Oolite so there is no need to worry. But I cannot blame anyone to be careful. There is some Objective ...

This just does not make sense. There is an outdated libespeak.so that was compiled against outdated other libraries, and that's why Oolite needs to be shipped with outdated libraries? Now knowing that libespeak has not even be customized in any way what is the point of sticking to that binary? I ag...

It is good to have a platform agnostic professional IDE. If that work it should get a mention in the developer's corner in the wiki. For the build tool: I guess the makefile complexity is already there. Both a Makefile and a Gnumakefile are in effect, and they may spawn more such files IIRC. If some...

Here's what I've boiled the required lib mess down to. libespeak.so.1 ( choice of libespeak.so.1.alsa libespeak.so.1.pulseaudio ) Presumably because of the static reference to the espeak-data/intonations. libgnustep-base.so.1.28 libicudata.so.70 libicui18n.so.70 libicuuc.so.70 libpng14.so.14 Oolite...
