Oolite Bulletins

That seems to work except it won't load my trusty Imperial Courier. It says could not find ship type "impcourier-player" - please reinstall the appropriate oxp However, there is definitely the line impcourier-player in the shipdata.plist file. I may be running an old version of the oxp (I ...

I installed it on Ubuntu 8.10 without a hitch. The only thing now is that it doesn't know where my OXPs are. Where should I move them to?

Thanks!

I understand that the \ key switches the Advanced Space Compass. Unfortunately I've had to switch to an old US keyboard until I'm back in the UK and can replace my dying one, and the key if in a different spot and does nothing to switch the compass. They key itself works fine.

Any ideas?

The BIOS won't let me do that. It's 64, 128 or DVMT Mode

In the Advanced Chipset Setup section, I found the DVMT/Fixed Memory option set to 128MB. I changed it to "DVMT Mode", so that the graphics chip would "dynamically allocate system memory as graphics memory" (according to the blurb in the manual) but it didn't speed the game up at...

do try to increase the RAM available to the video card.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I do that?

It seems to be related (1) rather than (2). I launch and it's slow, I jump into a new system and I'm OK-ish until ships start to show up, at which point it slows down again.

Can't be an OXP, I don't have any installed. nb I get the same whether it's 1.65 or 1.70.

Update:
When Oolite starts, the framerate is more like 100 fps. When I launch, it drops to 4. Witchspace to another system and it rises to 15/20.

I think that he right driver comes with my distribution; there's a driver for Intel 945 chipset in the preferences, which seems to work fine for the Compiz Fusion 3d effects. glxgears reports over 1300 fps. I followed the link you posted and ended up here . Should I check it out? (I'm reluctant to p...

I tried Oolite out on my new system; Intel Core Duo and onboard VGA (Elitegroup 945GCT-M2). Runs fine in Windows, but in Ubuntu 7.10 the framerate is about 1 frame/sec. I think I have the right drivers installed - no problem playing vids etc. Is there a way of getting the framerate up which doesn't ...

It crashes when I try to trade in my Imperial Courier for a Tiger. Running version 1.70 on XP. Anything I can do?

IIRC there was a bug in BBC Elite which meant that if you tried to fit two mining lasers to the same mount point, you would gain 200Cr.

I'm in the middle of Assassins now, so that could explain it. I've also recently added the most recent version of Thargoid Wars (the one that doesn't clash)The longest pauses definitely happen during witchspace jumps (between countdown reaching zero and seeing the rings), not launching or docking. O...
