Oolite Bulletins

Ok, I just created the Support Forum.
Let's see how it goes.

ILS Instrument Landing System is not installed.

I just installed Save In Flight and will see how it goes.

Ok that OXP is poorly documented. No information URL, no wiki page. After all I found a readme that I just copied verbatim to the Wiki.

Such an OXP should be part of the standard game installation.

Ooh, here's a writeup:
viewtopic.php?p=279939&hilit=ils+shuttle#p279939

So I need to check whether ILS is installed.

It makes sense. But at that point you’re essentially recreating the scenario system within OoliteStarter, with the downside that it still wouldn’t be able to restrict mods from being installed next to SW if they just go to the mod list and start downloading them. Having SW as a scenario would preve...

...while I had bought a Star Destroyer and was equipping it with TIE fighters. Here is what I see in the logs. I am wondering why the ship gets a fighter, then looses one while in the screenshot it should have gotten more and more... 00:23:22.231 [oxp-standards.deprecated]: TL99 is deprecated for EQ...

That would be because the astrofarm is a new station which SW has never seen before and thus doesn’t know what to do with, I guess. More evidence for why SW should have been set up as a scenario, and mods only allowed in when SW is changed to know what to do with them. Anyway, I’ll spin up a SW env...

I opted for changing the exit code to 0 because there is no real need of a special code when exiting from the help page right now. If we ever do need to do something special from an external app after help has been shown, we can reconsider this and see into changing the wrapper scripts, but for now...

There is [url=https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=296338#p296338]a post[/quote] that made me think: Oolite is available on multiple operating systems and extremely configurable. In case someone perceives odd behaviour often it is not even possible for those who want to support to know what is go...

"7kg gold -- 1t" would still be confusing, I have to admit, but I guess I would have figured it out on my own.

We'd have to distinguish volume and mass - something that was never there in * lite universes.

Hmm, maybe I should set it to return 0 then. I had thought it would be good to have a distinctive exit code when help option is passed, but I had not counted on the wrapper script falling flat on its face. I would not call it 'falling flat on it's face'. When a user doubleclicks an icon but for som...

Feedback on the Linux version: The output looks very usable.

The build artifacts are here: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... 9196762908

That's where I searched and could not find them. But this time, all of a sudden the page would scroll. It really depends on where I use that wheel.
Thanks, I'm checking...
