Oolite Bulletins

Just a quick report, but I now have fully accelerated Oolite. Here's how: 1 ) Download Wolvix (I used cub 1.0.5). See link below: http://alpha.crihosting.com/wolvix/wolvix-cub-1.0.5-beta.iso 2 ) Using the hd-installer, make standard/real install to disk. 3 ) Using GSlapt (in menus) install the follo...

Heya folks. I'm just trying to get a little clarification on how OXPs on linux work. I currently have Oolite installed in ~/Oolite, Usually I install my OXPs in ~/Oolite/AddOns. Now, I'm considering reinstalling Oolite in a system-wide manner. Well, I have a Debian Install straight from APT. I have...

You can always make a desktop shortcut (in gnome, right click the Desktop, then choose 'Create launcher', fill in the details (Name: Oolite, Command: oolite) and do not check the 'Run in a terminal' option. Then you won't get the terminal. Of course, you won't get a log either if it crashes (althou...

Sorry if my post wasn't clear. This IS what happens by default anyway...
I am trying to have just ONE window open only -- i.e. the game!

Hello Guys, Maybe an odd one this, but how do you suppress the background terminal when starting the game? Are there additional 'switches' I can put in the executing path of my desktop menu config? It's good for debugging/slight cheating (see ship population), but it would clutter my taskbar/desktop...

Lol, yeah. Too much tea,coffee and beer in my depreciating keyboard
Still, excuses aside, I got most of it myself
Anyway Good work. Btw, v1.65
should indeed be in unstable

Oooer!!!! Sorry, couldn't resist. Now I sound silly.

LMAO!

A pain in the aft maybe?

OK, I am currently in the Anarchy system of Eninre. The station is missing! Is it possible that it could be destroyed? Could a Q-Bomb do it? UPDATE: Ended up skimming the star for fuel. Odd though. Compass was convinced of where it should have been. Check for residual GalCorp envirocore energy sign...

Yep. If you are using Debian Sid, Oolite 1-65 is now available through the goodness of APT.

It don't get much easier than that!

Also, when posting a letter, you have to get your approach right to save crumpling the item!
My letterbox now has flashing landing lights

Is there a shortcut for fullscreen on Linux?

Yes. Just hit the F12 key to toggle between windowed and full screen modes.

Are these filters visible on the final texture? I just ask because I know that Oolite does not support bump maps (yet). Yes. I simply opened the Cobra mk3 textures with GIMP and applied the bump map filter. This simply changes the visual appearance (more gnarly/pitted) and does not effect texture f...

Just a quickie.
I thought I'd try applying bump mapping filters to the ship textures
and a little colour/lightness changes too.
Gotta say, I feel a full cutomisation coming on...

'If you're gonna pimp. Use the GIMP !'

errr... No. It's part of the ship's characteristics. You could of course mod your ship's characteristics, but that's cheating, each ship is supposed to have its strong or weak points, hence the price etc... Lol, I had a feeling about that :lol: Nevermind, I did notice that (Xedes or somewhere) mili...
