Oolite Bulletins

So here is the next version which directly visualizes the effect of user input. Regarding that slash magic: OoliteStarter will not intermingle - users can directly see the impact of their deeds before any harm was created and react. OoliteStarter v0.1.32-gelsemium.11 Coolness! Before I play, here a...

They're scattered far and wide, so I started this topic to round the blighters up. I'll bet there's a topic for it, but my quick scan didn't find it. Here's a start, I'll not make the perps clickable, (cos they're all dead): On https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/releases: There are lots of dead...

Not claiming anything... I just felt the need to share my totally on-topic pain. Returning from the pub at exactly the wrong moment, I found myself subjected to the opening sequence of some dire bilge called "Alien Siege". A 2018 film, apparently with a lower budget than a John Pertwee epi...

Ok, you gave me good answers here. I will follow your suggestion, and I also change the MQTT configuration from one global to one per installation. The next build should make that available. I see it's in gelsemium-10. Nice! Observations and suggestions: I'd already done the config in ~/.oolite-sta...

Any chance of some sort of a picture showing what either of you have managed so far? I've done nothing 'pretty', just verifying things in a terminal and a tiny test on an android app. A crude script to read the speed and send it back as integer: #!/bin/bash broker=localhost #Read speed published by...

... Or I stop thinking and follow your example not limiting anything. Thinking is a good thing. It means I have to sanity check what I'm saying. The way I see it, the 'parent' topic (currently oolite/) could be 1/2/3/4/flibblydoodah/ for all it matters, as long as all parties involved (oolite, dash...

One for the back burner: Could the toplevel topic be configurable in some way, perhaps with an mqtt prefix field per installation in starters 'Oolite versions'? Multiple Oolites could share one MQTT server nicely. Do we need separate topics for all the Oolites on this world, or would be a filtering...

Apologies. The android app I'd not used for a long time was in fact net.routix.mqttdash. The json stuff I'm struggling to fathom in that, but hope someone else will clarify hereabouts. Works without google play services (installed using e.g. aurora store). The one I'd posted earlier is not working, ...

What if starter were able to subscribe to a topic, and send anything published there back to Oolite, with filtered responses published. That would allow a kludgy debug console, and also facilitate instruments sending commands to oolite (pause on red alert if bridge empty). An excellent idea to reus...

In case you want to debug you can still use OoliteStarter. Just start the debug console prior to running Oolite. OoliteStarter will only try to block the debug tcp port when launching Oolite and does not complain if it is taken already. I'd discovered that, realised it was mutually exclusive, and t...

This is my attempt on my LinuxMint laptop. I don't often use starter (limited RAM), so I found a few quirks. I had to apt remove the previous version of oolitestarter first, as apt was convinced that this was an older version. Starter tells me there's a new update for Oolite. I close starter, upgrad...

MQTT on standby. Fire it up, this next build is for you! :-) I made the MQTT connection data configurable so now you should be able to make use of it. However it is a manual step not included in the GUI. (am boldly assuming if you can configure MQTT and respective clients, you will be able to fiddl...

This is the currently stable one: https://github.com/OoliteProject/OoliteStarter/releases/tag/v0.1.31 I think if you stick to the builds on the master branch it would be fully sufficient. Experimental versions all have a branch name, as currently 'gelsemium'. Cool. I cheated, 'cos I skipped the Mav...

Is there a 'current stable' of choice for me to do?
