Oolite Bulletins

The bug tracker was left on to give people time to answer questions about old bugs that I didn’t think were relevant any longer. I’ve closed those, and will migrate the new bug reports soon; after that, the BerliOS bug tracker will be removed. I’ve turned off the feature tracker and task manager, wh...

Random useless fact attack: if you see the recent Riddick movie (protip - don't), at the end while he's flying off in his spaceship, he's controlling it with the X52. Not sure if that says things about my budget or theirs. The manual steering column of the Enterprise-E was a Gravis Blackhawk , whic...

Answers will be forthcoming when they’re ready.

We should probably get on that one of these months.

Yep, that works.

I’m not sure what’s changed, but Ship_Storage_Helper eats up all available JavaScript memory in master. (Raising the limit doesn’t help.)

Entity dump with absolutely no OXPs: [searchPaths.dumpAll]: Unrestricted mode - resource paths: ~/Programming/Projects/Oolite/oolite/build/Debug/Oolite.app/Contents/Resources [shipData.load.begin]: Loading ship data. … [universe.objectDump]: DEBUG: Entity Dump - [entities count] = 14, n_entities = 1...

I ran without any OXPs (even Debug) and still had Lave in my face.

It’s not mentioned in the build log because of a deficiency in the script, but the Mac nightly now includes the tutorial stuff. Note, however, that yesterday’s bugs aren’t fixed in master yet.

Well, now…

Tutorial mode active > S.stations [[Station "Tutorial Station" "Tutorial Station" position: (822244, -8.11881e+06, 723731) scanClass: CLASS_NO_DRAW status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT]] > S.planets [[Planet ID: 173 position: (0, 0, 452760) type: STELLAR_TYPE_NORMAL_PLANET radius: 41.160km]...

With the fixes on the topic branch, the tutorial runs for me. However, if I read a bit slower I would have crashed into Lave before being told how to slow down (and I was at status yellow because of altitude when the tutorial said “If it is green, as now, …”.

The answer seems to be yes.

However, this is a bug and there’s no guarantee it will stay this way. (A more sensible approach to the same problem would be to support subfolders in AddOns, which you could then move to another folder to disable them.)

I tried to grab a mac-nightly but it won't unzip. Maybe wait to tomorrow when a new nightly is build?

Yep, seems broken today.

The Mac nightly build is now up-to-date. One minor issue: it temporarily doesn’t include Debug.oxp. You can work around this by removing the requires.plist file from an existing copy. The development version of Oolite no longer loads native code from Debug.oxp, so there are no major compatibility is...

Mac OS X nightlies are now based on Git master (i.e., development version 1.79). however, because of an error in the build script, the current build is based on a version from July. So there’s new stuff, but not all the new stuff. This should be fixed in the next couple of days. 1.79 nightlies curr...
