Oolite Bulletins

I can see the difference with HD when looking at static images, but the moment you have significant movement in the video you loose the benefit of the high resolution IMHO. I agree. Until recently I didn't see any reason to even think about getting Blueray gear. The addition of 3D does provide a re...

OK, here are the pastebin links: The new JoystickHandler replaces the existing skeleton in Source/Mac-specific in the XCode project. It depends on the HIDManager that has been introduced with OS X 10.5 Leopard: JoystcikHandler.h: http://pastebin.com/8pX7AmKu JoystickHandler.m: http://pastebin.com/9t...

OK, I solved the build problems targeting 10.5. I also fleshed out the JoystickHandler class in the Mac-specific folder to the point where I can play using my XBOX360 gamepad--great fun :) My modifications are against the current trunk revision. Current button and axis mappings are hard coded, unfor...

*lol* that explains a lot :)

Only Snow Leopard (10.6) or Leopard (10.5) as well? I'm targeting the latter.

I'm trying to hack gamepad support into Oolite using the HIDManager classes that are available as of OS X 10.5. For that I set the base SDK to 10.5 but now I receive a lot of errors complaining about - conflicting types for uint64 - static declarations of class_getInstanceSize follow non-static decl...

My memories of playing Elite on the C=64 are only a haze nowadays, but I seem to remember that Thargoid attacks after (or was it during?) hyperspace jumps were quite frequent, even for new pilots. In Oolite Thargoids seem to be quite rare and so far I have never encountered more than one battleship ...

Great, finally found it, thanks! I was surprised it didn't put up much of a fight though. It fired one missile (destroyed by my ECM) and kept on fleeing when I shot a few rounds at it (military laser). After some iterations of hit and flee it came back, firing at me but missing. Eventually it took e...

Ok, thanks for clarifying. The mission did start with "...stolen at planet X" but I remember reading that the mission starts in galaxy #1 while I was already in galaxy #2 so didn't pay much attention to the planet's name... Hope that doesn't mean I cannot complete the mission anymore :s Ch...

I've been spending days now cruising around galaxy #2 (I was already there when the constrictor mission started) and have not come across a single hint about its whereabouts. Just to keep my sanity: hints would appear on the planet description screen ('7' key), right? Would they also appear if I sel...

No worries, I don't expect 24h turnaround times ;-) Thanks for taking it up!

Cheers,

yeayyy, confirmed :)

Hi, thanks for posting the keymapper, I just tried it out :) A few suggestions for further improvements: * show the currently active key for each function. I haven't memorized all keys yet (some I came across I didn't even know existed). So I either have to look it up in the manual or mess it up... ...

I found out what causes the problem: It is indeed a result of $SNAPSHOT_MACROS being defined as "", thanks Getafix. If I put some compiler option like -Dmaik in there it works. The comments in the file say that this is overwritten by some nightly Mac script. Is this something that I have t...

Thanks for giving it a shot! I'll investigate in that direction...

Cheers,
