Oolite Bulletins

How exactly would one go about installing the example script posted above? I tried following the wiki instructions, i.e. copying the script code into a file called script.js, which I put in the Config directory, but when I run the latest SVN snapshot, I get this error message: 2007-04-01 16:50:38.00...

Logic has no place here

The option is already there, but is somewhat hidden, at least for the PC version. You need to edit your RunOolite.bat as follows (never mind the paths shown here, these should correspond to your installation folders): @echo off set GNUSTEP_PATH_HANDLING=windows set GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT=D:\oosvn\trunk\...

Yes, it is easy to get trapped in witchspace. However, you may want to install the Behemoth OXP. After installing it, you will see that, sometimes, when you end up in witchspace, you will find yourself in the middle of an ongoing battle between Thargoids and GalCop. If you manage to dock with one of...

another_commander, i can't locate that file in my Oolite folders so i guess it's a pre-compile file.. If so, can you compile that entry and attach the file / endresult here so i can use it please? Well, as you see from Ahruman's response, this did not work out as expected. It does on my system, but...

Until this can be solved properly, a quick and dirty hack that seems to solve the problem, is to set the "incoming object" speed to 95% of the original value, like this: Method: update : (double) delta_t, file Universe.m, at the end of case DEMO_FLY_OUT: [[demo_ship getAI] setStateMachine:...

I recently read Elizabeth Moon's "Engaging The Enemy" and I could not stop wondering whether this lady had been actually playing Elite/Oolite while writing the book. I mean, it's got everything: Space traders, orbit stations where trade takes place, hyperspace, pirates, lots of battles, yo...

If svn cannot be found, it is most likely not in the current path. Without being able to test it, since my setup is quite different to what the wiki mentions as default, I would add the path to the svn/bin folder to the export PATH command. So, you may want to change the line marked below (taken fro...

Seriously, this is some great work taking place here. Can't wait to download when they are all done. Well done, Selezen.

The Compase is on the F5 screen and sort of works. When near the Main Stations I still get the "Station Co-Ordinates Uploaded" and the square for the station appears, but \ doesn't work anymore to check beacons. No biggy, the planets look excellant. Lots of variety in colour, clouds and l...

Wolfwood, let me guess: You run the exe by double clicking on it immediately after copying it? If so, then you must run it using the RunOolite.bat file, in the root directory of your installation. The hint is the first three lines of your stderr. Normally GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT etc. should be set by th...

OK, I made a test installation of Oolite v1.65 and tried to update to 1.67. I found out that indeed it does not run and the problem is that Oolite v1.65 comes with SDL.dll version 1.2.9, while my executable is meant to link with SDL.dll version 1.2.11. I have emailed Ahruman the dll file, which shou...

Wolfwood Can you please post a screenshot of your oolite.app folder? I would like to check that all required dlls - and versions expected by this test exe - are there. Please make sure that you have set Explorer View menu to Details, so the properties list of files are visible. Also, is there any er...

if you select your destination, does it automatically lock your hyperdrive onto the next step of the chain when you come out of Witchspace? Not really. That could on one hand be nice, but, on the other hand, I fear it could interfere with the way the player wants to plan his trip. IMHO, it should b...

I sent also the equipmenty bit to dajt a little earlier. I will have to take a short break for a few days, as I have to be away for work, but, with the last changes sent, we should be in sync now.
