Oolite Bulletins

According to the documentation, all I need to do is press 'y' and the q bomb will be selected, yet it isn't. Only if I fire off all my missiles does it become selected. Am I missing something?

AAHHH! AAAAAHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! (Clears throat) WooHoo! It works! It works! I can play! It runs well, although I can see the stars through planets at a distance away and stars(close-up) are just halos. But I don't really care about that at the moment - hell I have already killed my first...

Thanks, will try your suggestion. I am currently using SUSE 9.0 pro. I really should upgrade.

Oh and should there be 2 slashes after lib? I did not do that.

I reinstalled the game and now have this: 2006-03-03 17:48:49.000 oolite[14666] Added res 1152 x 864 2006-03-03 17:48:49.000 oolite[14666] Added res 1024 x 768 2006-03-03 17:48:49.000 oolite[14666] Added res 832 x 624 2006-03-03 17:48:49.000 oolite[14666] Added res 800 x 600 2006-03-03 17:48:49.000 ...

I am using SUSE, I did'nt have a compatible graphics card but now I do! However when I try to run the game it borks with a message about the backend. If you need the exact details then let me know. I used the autopackage thingy but I swear that GNUstep might not be sitting in the right place(?) or i...

On british tv. Channel 4 has a video game page on it's ceefax and someone mentioned it in the letters page!

Hey don't knock the card - it does it's job. I can play Deus Ex with it, which is all i've really needed it for.

I do have an ATI Rage 128 knocking about, although I promised that i'd stick it in my brother's computer. Maybe I will "lose" it

I have an Apollo 3D Thrill 315 Pro graphics card (it was cheap, OK). According to the literature, it is powered by "SIS 315" which is based on the "Giant-Force 256bit engine". SIS don't want to know, however I discovered that it is made by Joytech, IIRC. I visited their site and ...

virtual PC?

I did try to run the windows version in SUSE with WINE

I'm not asking anyone to go out of their way in order to find a solution. Maybe win98 is just too old and a lost cause. I just wanna play this pretty badly, although maybe not 'install a new OS' badly.

I do have frontier: first encounters, but oolite seems streets ahead to me.

Ironically I have SUSE 9.0 and that has problems with the backend as well. Anyway SUSE doesnt recognise my graphics card so I am stuck between that rock and that hard place :cry: I have put quite some effort into getting SUSE set up so I would like to avoid killing it off. I have heard nothing but g...

Well I have been visiting for a while but never registered because I had no reason, until now... The thing is I REALLY want to play this game but my computer just won't have it. I am using windows 98 and my computer is of a high enough spec but GNUstep seems to not like it. Here's the stderr: 2006-0...
