Oolite Bulletins

For those who have issues with Oolite not recognizing throttle inputs from HOTAS devices, can you please try substituting the SDL.dll file found inside your oolite.app folder with the one downloaded from here ? The new DLL is patched to recognize the additional throttle axes. Please let me know how...

Check your inbox.

Got it, and it helped to track down the bug. As a result, a new version of Contracts On BB (v1.9) is now available to download via the download manager or from the Wiki. Let me know if that resolves the issue.

Huzzah, it be fixed.

Copy that. Hmm. I can't seem to reproduce this error condition. Can I get you to start a new game with both OXP's installed, and try to go to the BB page on the F4 screen. If that works, I'll need to get a copy of the save file where the error is occurring. PM me a link if that's an option for you....

Here's the log file:

Yep, some definite BB system errors in there. I'll see if I can reproduce. If not, I might get you to send me your save game. Stand by.

Copy that.

Contracts on BB installed

Also, were there contracts available at the current station when you installed? Were you at the main station, or a secondary one (like a Rock Hermit)?

1. I think so, yeah.
2. Main station.

Go to F4 screen, try to choose the BB... ...and big fizoo. Absolutely nothing happens. Was this starting a new game, or in an existing one? A recently new game. This commander is test-piloting some WIP kit, but I don't think that gear should be breaking the BB system. Here's the log file: Opening l...

Assaassins, yes, I forgot about them. Mercs hired to stop courier posts. Shoots to kill, ruthless to the point of shooting down eject pods. Funny how they always show up as clean on the IFF. And always four powerful ships... To gun down one mailman that won't fight back? Really, what the frak is wro...

The other stuff, eh, I stuck a fork in it. Do As Thou Wilt, no complaints from me. Thank you very much for that, I guess I will start with the Dragon and Vendetta. Maybe have a go at the Kirin, too. I dunno who's maintaining it, it's wound up in the manager. The old Griff shader Clym & I nicked...

Some observations on the various npc pilots found ingame... Traders: They have some guts to dare the dangerous business of galactic freight hauling. Yet, tend to cut and run at the first sign of trouble; few will stand their ground, and only when they have some backup, be it escorts, police, or hunt...

Kraits and Geckos are supposed to be fighters, yeah, but like most of the core fighters, they're lacking in performance. Only the Asp and Constrictor are in the zone so far as fighter performance goes. And the Viper Interceptor... is that one in the core shipset? I know it's in Griff's oxp shipset....

@ Szaum-ix What you say about truckers and highway bandits hits very close to home. Even here in the States there's opportunistic hooligans that think a big rig is an easy payday. But not so fast! I didn't know a single driver that wasn't packing heat. I personally kept a mossburg boomstick in the c...

I'm a tad confused about the relationship between these ships and their oxp's. We have Neo-Caduceus on the Expansions Manager but Caduceus Alpha and Caduceus Omega on a "Caduceus" wiki page. What is a Neo-Caduceus? I'll try to field this one. Bear with me, it's been a long while and my me...

All done and dusted more or less about the same time,

re-newed missile countermeasure,
a missile,
and a small set of bounty hunter fighters.

Good to see you back, Cmdr Wyvern, do you plan to maintain your work in future yourself and if not would you mind if we add a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license so that we could upload them to the expansion manager ? :) I've got a new version of the ol' Missile Spoof in WIP phase now. Test, tweak, repeat till...
