I think this is getting close to release quality now, but will be interested in any and all feedback.

I'm in. Still figuring out how to land. Attempt four.

Just paused the game at an altitude of 644.7267877715349m, which looks ugly. Can that be forced to an integer?

A specific version of python can be pleasantly and safely added via pyenv . That will apparently work on mac, and certainly need not touch the system-wide versions (which can get messy). Multiple python versions can co-exist and are easily leveraged per-run with pyenv. Simply avoid using 'global'. I...

The link on https://oolite.space/#oxp appears as External Dock System , which is a page that shows There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page. Suggest External Docking Syst...

Wiki typo.

https://oolite.space/#oxp the link to this OXP is broken. Should be Docking, not Dock.

Typos or logic error in GalCop email mission.

...will show whether python is a link and to what.

I doubt that is of current relevance as python 3 ought to be default for most folk by now. I'm using an AppleMac and know nothing about any of this. I thought that OXPs were in OpenStep/XML or Javascript, not Python. How would I tell if I have Python 3 or 2? I presume that this is why I only someti...

I didn't encounter your error, but it seems that it should be caused by the fact that at line 486 is used a "load" call which should be replaced with "readPlistFile" for python 3.x (as defined on line 21). Although the "readPlistStream" (imported next) is used once in ...

Attempting to use the collect_shipdata.py script. Totally ignorant as to whether it'll make any difference to the "no problem" I have. Tried using python 2.7 and 3.10. Both spit out an error like this and give a Pdb prompt. _load_effects, Error: name 'load' is not defined Traceback (most r...

But suggesting code changes as it is looks risky to me. How to ensure the right change was applied when and where needed? How to ensure all these modifications are performed by all testers? ... On the way back we need the tester's impression but together with that we need some info on the environme...

Cool. That was fun!! My eye caught a few typos and a random extra word. Suggest you do a search through descriptions.plist and missiontext.plist for these and tweak. squeek(ing) should be squeak(ing) shew(s|kind) should be shrew(s|kind) formular should be formula cought should be caught This one's o...

Testing is going well so far.. You're not kidding about the 'adversity'. I've noticed two things, one of which really needs addressing. For me, using the default Oolite fonts, some of the mission storyline texts overflow the page, so I suppose should be more than one page. The text is broken around ...

This is not a red herring.

For once, I'm not very cross at all
