Vector maps with Dot? AFAIK you specify a graph (which means nodes and edges), and graphviz will automatically layout the graph in a (meaningful) way. But if you already know x and y coordinates you do not need that layout algorithm at all. In that case I'd switch to Scalable Vector Graphics which m...

Well, after fixing the home directory, I'm still getting this issue. So what is in the logfile this time? Here's the current logfile: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nyhj4jtb1nmm939l45a9f/oolite-starter.zip?rlkey=6fir92pa69s1heymsw8fp4cnc&st=8qdqs03i&dl=0 I ran Starter today and it asked me ...

Firstly, we don't really know what changes in each gnustep version. Yes, there are changelogs etc. but one would need to study them in detail for each new gnustep version coming out to judge if and how it would affect us, which understandably is not something people want to do. And yes, we did have...

Efficiency is actually not required to look at in this case. While relying on shared libraries, there is a trend to ship applications as snap, flatpak or appimage. The content is a whole filesystem wrapped within an archive. Inside this filesystem there is the application, it's dependencies (the sha...

Oolite needs gnustep. And Ubuntu provides gnustep. So far so good. But note that on different versions of Ubuntu different versions of gnustep are provided: Taken from https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libgnustep&searchon=names: Paket libgnustep-base1.26 focal (20.04LTS) (libs): GNUste...

Hi To force a misjump: Start the countdown nornally and do a full pitch up as it gets to zero. If you hit zero at full pitch up you will execute a misjump. Actually I am wondering why the wichdrive would malfunction on full pitch up. Ok, the alignment of the ship is changing, yada yada. But does it...

Hello All My eyes are on stalks from overdosing on trying to raise my Harmless rating. Can anyone tell me what a Super Cobra is and are they hard to kill - I have been reading various bits and pieces and seen them mentioned a couple of times.. Thanks James Here is some more data: https://ooliteproj...

So how about two 'simple and reusable' scripts then? One to turn the planetinfo file into a CSV, another one to convert it back to plist (whichever format). With that, a user can start editing in a spreadsheet application (Microsoft Office, OpenOffice or LibreOffice) or load it into some SQL databas...

Is it that? Someone asks for user friendly plist editing and we end up comparing regex, sed and awk? I believe the real painpoint is the structure of the file. Forget a quote or a comma and you are gone. Neither of the tools under discussion help here. But what does? I never really investigated but ...

Here is another clue for the puzzle: About half a year after it's release, I upgraded to Ubuntu 24 LTS. What can I say, the problem we had seen in Ubuntu 23 persists. $ ./oolite ./oolite.app/oolite: error while loading shared libraries: libgnustep-base.so.1.28: cannot open shared object file: No suc...

Adding interactive fiction via mission OXPs sounds very powerful. I like that idea. When I mulled over rhe same I concluded it would be easier to get good content if the engine were not built from scratch but use something already known in the interactive fiction community. While there are some open...

Anyway the binary division method will find some culprit fast

That approach is documented at Troubleshooting Oolite.

I am hoping that Mr Flibble's work on MQTT will allow external monitors to be used, which would be even more "realistic". I too wish to see ALL the MFDs. AFAIK they're not available via MQTT (yet), and I don't know of a way to get to their output via debug. For the MQTT case, I'd hope to ...

I don’t understand. They are already on the OXP list page. Times have changed. In old days a wiki page was state of the art. Then the website was extended so OXP developers could add their extensions to a database from which a catalog file was generated. This catalog is read and presented to users ...
