Oolite Bulletins

Appimage has it's uses, but doesn't install. It makes a lump with all that's required to execute without unpacking as such, but no desktop icons or app menu entries. No better than fixing the conf dir thing and making a binary as we do AFAICT. True again. It has the same flaw as pyinstaller. It jus...

I just glanced at autopackage. I remember it now. Yes! I'll go that way. Wow, Autopackage is a dead project that has not seen any love for 15 years AFAICT!! I'll have a crack at it anyway. Seems to load and run. True. Do you have something better? That is portable to Linux other than .deb or .rpm? ...

Yet I am wondering why you put so much effort into the 'distribution' part. Why a wrapper script if the debug console is under your control and one or two lines in the source code could make the application load the configuration from another place? I do understand that having an icon, a readme and...

All good. Noone said it is perfect the way it is, or that it has to stay that way. You are still free to chip in all your improvements. :-) Oh, alright then :D This is for Linux x86_64. (It occurs to me the archive file names ought to reflect architecture in future). My scratchings in github arrive...

oolite.space still has links to the older v1.6 console in the downloads page. This should be updated. The packaging has also changed. Previously we had one package for both Windows and Linux, now it is one package per platform. This has to also be updated on the website. Thank you for pointing out....

Yay, we did it! :-) Thank you so much for your support, @another_commander. Now the last item to be verified is the MacOs build. Unless that might be not required at all. I heard the Mac version of Oolite comes with a built-in debug console. Plus we do not compile Oolite for Mac any more anyway... ...

I would guess the other way round: Oolite is too old to properly support the XBox controllers. The XBox One controller worked without a hitch - plug in and away I went. The firmware of the 360 controller *might* need updating, but that’s all I can suggest at the moment without a controller to test ...

I guess the 360 controller is just too old for Oolite in its current form? Obviously Windows (still) recognises it, as does Steam, because I use it in lots of other games (including, for example Elite: Dangerous and Star Wars Squadrons). I would guess the other way round: Oolite is too old to prope...

Umm - does this still work?

If hardheads are not smart enough to follow the engine trail it should work

Just wanted to park this idea here: A Black Hole would be on the edges of a regular Oolite solar system? Or in Interstellar Space? Hmm. I'd expect a black hole to be the center of a galaxy. Which means it starts as a collapsed star and as that in the center of a solar system, then aggregates mass s...

Wonderful! I just installed Oolite 1.91.0.7616-240527-f882b71-linux-test-x86_64 and checked the --help command. The output is like this: hiran@silver:~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite$ ./oolite --help Usage: oolite [options] Options can be any of the following: --compile-sysdesc Compile system descripti...

Still error, I'm afraid. I think this time it's missing pyWin32. At least it is no more the previous error.... Here is another attempt: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-debug-console/releases/tag/v2.0.4-newGUI.3 I admit I am poking in the dark. Not my programming language. Not my operating s...

The Windows build fails to run, apparently because twisted has not been included in the package. Here is the error: Thank you for bringing it up. I added twisted on the windows build environment. Could you please check again? https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-debug-console/releases/tag/v2.0.4...
