Oolite Bulletins

"This ain't like dusting crops boy. You make a wrong calculation and you could end up jumping right through an asteroid belt or bounce to close too a supernova and that would end your trip real quick wouldn't it?" Translation: We're working on it, we've not made much progress due to real w...

Luckily I'm a "skirt wearing haggis basher" so I get to make statements like that with impunity

From Top FlightGear Magazine: Whenever the "best ship in the universe" award rears it's ugly head you can guarantee that lesser informed pilots will spend hours harping on about the Fer-De-Lance's impeccable quality, or the SuperCobra's "iron-arsed" invulnerability. Don't get me ...

Now that's what I call Oolite Music volume one?

When you need to make sure that you're in the right mood for mass murder and piracy nothing really beats a bit of Slayer

..and for those calmer or more caluculated little calms before the storm - Puccini, Beethoven and Pachelbel.

I try and resist thinking that far ahead... but server side OXPs with co-operative missions, maybe even team based missions - It makes me all tingly in my giblets

Sounds like there really is work being put into Multiplayer Oolite! Yup, I'm afraid so :wink: We were thinking simple for the name... MOolite (cows rule). However, the most recent person who looks willing to tackle this was Spooky, who says he has a cross platform library that they developed for on...

They're there - click the ubiquitous XML icons.

...of course the really impressive thing would be explaining how the hell I missed that

Very nice. It's clean, simple and easy to use... and who could ask for more that that?

RSS feeds would be nice, but only because I'm really lazy.

cactuar: It depends where the autopackage installed Oolite. My platform doesn't have autopackage so I can't help with that. However if you're feeling brave and you can locate the oolite-deps folder then the link you need is.... ln -s <where ever you find it>/oolite-deps/GNUstep /usr/GNUstep If that ...

I first found Oolite via a google search for TNK source (I know, I'm such a rotter). I saw it was Mac OS/X only and my heart sank. I found it again a few months ago when I was trawling through winstons most excellent http://frontiernews.alioth.net (the only think that kindled my desire for Elite-nes...

Dogfight style multiplayer Oolite would be relatively simple, and not something we'd be interested in doing. Most multiplayer flight/space sims always seem to degenerate into flying in circles around each other. We want to keep the depth of the current gameplay, this may mean slight variations to th...

I know there's already been a thread on the if's and whynot's of an Oolite MMORPG. I was wondering if anyone is thinking a little smaller? Something along the lines of a LAN or Internet based persistant server for a limited number of players.... The reason for my question is this: We run a very modi...

It gets worse. I'm having serious trouble running the standalone package I've built on other machines. I've narrowed the problem down to pthread semaphores that are required for SDL-1.2.9.

I might start from scratch and install SDL from pkgsrc.

Sorry

...are now all available at ftp://ftp.alioth.net/oolite

I've had absolutely no luck with any GL support for any of the ATI cards I have. (9500, Rage 128, Rage IIC). I'll still build the NetBSD packages though, if for no reason other than completeness.
