Oolite Bulletins

Just switched the boss ship to a Boa, and tweaked the AI to fly full speed. Playtesting still takes forever. Will update the beta later, when it seems to work. Was having trouble with scanning for player ships, so dropped it. Also, is there a way to create a wormhole to a certain planet, something l...

Later: just playtesting this escort mission section. It's boring as hell, mass locked, and anacondas aint too speedy, then you get a couple of pirates, chase them, and one of them goes and takes out your boss while you're after the other one. Second time I've tried now there seems to be a little fle...

http://www.ripserve.com/~johnsmith/hognose.PNG Well, this is looking like a lot of work. Thanks for your suggestions so far. I'm just writing the mission text for the escort mission now, think it will be a mission for newbies in galaxy 1. I'm rolling a lot of unrelated ideas into this OXP, but what...

DaddyHoggy, if you want to play with ships, scale them, rotate them, make screenshots, this is really handy. Mac only though for now.

Odd, Should work if it's in a folder called lovecats.oxp.

If anyone wants to give me hand producing a tug which drags a big billboard all around the sytem, have a look at this thread.

http://www.ripserve.com/~johnsmith/tri2.png Across the eight galaxies times are getting hard. Pirates are getting more desperate. Stuck for cash, other pilots have become flying billboards for unscrupulous advertising companies. Rock hermits have been abandoning their distant homes and moving to sa...

I was also having performance problems on my Mac, hadn't got round to investigating yet. I have way too many OXPs!

Looks nice. Think we have enough now, but if you want to delete some of mine, that's fine. My candidates would be aesbion2, barry's, and pharma. I'd also consider grouping some together, the 2 Lance and Fernman, or Absolut Lethal Brandy and the safety message. I'd also have the ads only spin on 1 ax...

I had a mission ship in a gone_nova system. He hyperspaced out, and I followed him via the wormhole. So it could work out anyway (disclaimer, I haven't gone further than the early assassins missions).

http://www.ripserve.com/~johnsmith/triboard.png Thinking outside the box, (ha ha) how about a polygonal billboard, rather than 2 flat sides? It would work nice as a nav buoy, spinning along a single axis. Or we could go even further, make a polygonal ball-like board visible from all 4 sides - thoug...

The text is from some spam I got. No idea what it says, but I'm guessing it was something pharmaceutical.
