Oolite Bulletins

I've posted further observations re: phantoms in the Telescope thread here.

I note that the name of the phantom is variably different from its genuine counterpart. Sometimes it looks more like a variable name, camelcaps with underscores. All satellite phantoms are called RSSatellite_location. All phantoms appear on the ASC at short range ~4m. Pardon me if I've mixed zeros/o...

I have taken a lot of hull damage, but I am unable to find any way to repair it.

Can anyone give me hint what I am missing?

When docked, check the F3 screen and page down to near the end of the list. You should have the option to buy a  Maintenance overhaul.

I stumbled on this viewtopic.php?p=296041#p296041, which on deeper inspection appears to be a telescope issue.

TLDR: Visual target of ASC entities (nav beacons and buoys/fuel stations) also appear at near zero distance on the ASC and sometimes scanner too.

I'm seeing some entities listed on this MFD at zero distance soon after jumping into a system. For example, a few systems ago there was an RSS satellite which was listed at zero and c.250k, in another system I've a fuelStation satellite listed at zero and 259.5km. The 'extra' listing is not on the s...

Guys, are you still interested maintaining your code on Github?
Then register accounts and let us know them here or PM them to a project admin.

I've set up an account on github for this purpose: OoMrFlibble

Took a pirates for hire mission. The mathematics in f5f5 appears sketchy in a familiar way. Steal 7 cargo canisters from traders in Lerela (9 units in cargo hold) On returning to the originating station I handed in the cargo and this was taken: 1 Food 1 Radioactives 2 Luxuries 1 Machinery 1 Alloys 1...

Yes! I've some (arguably) normal things to do for the weekend. Will do the github gubbins at my next 'proper' sitting.

Question : Oolite's various converters are written in Python 2.7 I presume that they are used by the Griffs and Killer Wolfs of this world to convert ship model files to oolite's ".dat" format Will they need tweaking to work with Python 3.0? Reference: Oolite converters Apologies if this ...

So just for fun. :) Better yet if I can make it work on alpine x86!! That was far easier than expected. VM with 256M ram, 4g HD, and 1 CPU. Installed alpine x64. Didn't take long to figure out what was needed to build the bundle. Installed the resulting tarball. It appeared in the menu, and worked. ...

Suggestion: Skip thinking about an installer for now. I for one, am not thinking MUCH about an installer. In hacking around, trying to make the bits all work, and while making tools to test it rapidly, locally, on various boxes and different scenarios. I figured it wouldn't hurt to include those to...

Here's 2.05. OoliteDebugConsole2-05.zip No changes to the python script bar the version number. Made the Linux binary builder into a tarball under "builder" and added a readme. Added a version file so we don't need to faff with the builder. Added a rudimentary changelog. Probably need a li...

https://www.uploadlite.com/en/d/DebugConsole204devbundle I zipped it all up 'cos the upload service doesn't like tarballs. The linked zip (DC204-devbundle.zip) contains three archives: OoliteDebugConsole2-04.zip : My latest version. Changes: at least- Added console hint how to (dis/re)-connect a run...

Perhaps that could be a hint in the debug console at startup. You control the source at the moment, add what you'd like at line 4309 On it. Will upload a 2.04 in a couple of minutes. Will also upload a tarball of my binary builder which works nicely on a normal installation, and a tarball installab...

Was there a problem w/ the 256x256 icon? Nope.. I should have gone with that. Have edited above accordingly. Also tweaked the icon filename and location to something more sane/normal. In production, this ought to do as the Oolite installer does and set a full path. Are you planning to include this ...
