Oolite Bulletins

Yah, it's undocumented but it's there. Just hit Shift-M during flight. It's OK (and good for aiming) but I always have trouble returning to level flight. Hmm, when I hit Shift-M it says 'Mouse control ON' but I can't do anything. Left-click fires but moving the mouse has no effect at all, is this a...

I use the keyboard, although I would use the mouse if I knew how. Does the Linux version have this feature?

You just have to fly pretty close over the top of the cargo pod and it will scoop it up.

There are several approaches to this; we could set up a project on berlios.de, set up a repo on thor (Giles's SVN server) or I could set one up on vexed3.alioth.net. Setting up a project on berlios.de is probably easiest as then you've got all the web-based stuff to administer it. If it's not suita...

I'm having problems updating with rsync: rsync: send_files failed to open "/i386/oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/.shipyard.plist.swp" (in oolite-linux-dev): Permission denied (13) rsync: send_files failed to open "/i386/oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Models/.boa_redux.dat.swp"...

And fluffy dice!

Yeah, I agree. I'll leave the wiki page there and add a link to the berlios project page.

Thanks Rxke but I think Winston is right, berlios is probably the best place for it. I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place. The wiki would be a lot of hassle compared to using SVN. I just need to think of a better name first as Ionics is shaping up to be a relatively minor playe...

IMO, Oolite needs more missions (and I think we would all agree on that). To help make that happen I'd like to propose using the wiki for collaborative OXP projects. I've made an example project page for the Ionics OXP here . Have a look and tell me what you think. One of the main reasons I thought ...

Ah, here we go. This page answers the question of the 3 strange characters and why I can see them but you can't.

That is cool, I can only open the first page though. something about xml not being supported. :( (edit: it's my incorrect use of <!--- comment---> again, I fear.) The comments are recognised as such in my editor so I don't think there is any problem there. I did notice the first 3 characters () ...

uploaded work done so far to my webspace, comments are welcome. I had a look at your shipdata.plist (damn that thing is long!) and it looks like it will be really good. I took the liberty of cleaning up the indentation cause I couldn't read it otherwise. I would suggest using a decent text editor, ...

Well, the Linux port reached 4 again on berlios.de (but has since fallen back a bit - there's always a peak when it gets announced on Happypenguin)

I updated the happypenguin listing to 1.61 and there have been over 500 downloads in the last 2 days! Not bad.
