Oolite Bulletins

Thanks Ramon. I had missed that off but with the extra code installed, it still isn't appearing on the Press Space Commander screen!

Obtaining membership of the Galaxy 7 Assassins Guild has many benefits to those who can call themselves "A brother".

Ta. Tried that. Still not coming up!

Its not that I want the victims to come up on the screen, its just to test whether Oolite knows my ship is there, before I code the apparence of the ship.

PS: Setting the mission is Galaxy 7 is a technical choice rather than cos I wanted to. Galaxys 1 - 5 have native or OXP missions operating. EG: Say your are playing IONICS in Gal 4 and you hit the right kill count for my OXP to offer you Victim1 when you dock. But the IONICS.OXP is still active so i...

Victim1 is a test of your caliber by the Assassins guild. If your too lawfull to take this little job, they don't offer you Victim2 onwards, where the rewards are much greater. Can't get the dratted thing working though yet!

Sorry to keep bugging you, but I'm still having problems and I think its my ship Oolite doesn't like. (if I can just get victm1 working, then I can just copy and paste for the rest, changing the names and mission descriptions for each one). To test this I've taken out all the OXPs except my ship (Im...

I've made the alterations to the code. My ship is not coming up on the "Press Space Commander" screen. I dont want it to particulary, but does this mean the game is not recognising my ship, as other OXP ships (eg the Ionics ones) do? I've checked my save file and after the Contact is offer...

Thanks Are the bits in red the ones are need to take out? Also, if I use like_ship do I need to do all the complex ship building stuff? I was hoping like_ship would do this for me using your definitions from the standard game code! I just want the ship to be a clone of a bog-standard adder, except t...

I've written my 1st Victim Ship Plist:- <key>victim1</key> <dict> <key>like_ship</key> <string>adder</string> <key>name</key> <string>Guild Target : Be Soin - 200C</string> <key>has escape_pod</key> <false/> <key>ai_type</key> <string>route1traderAI.plist</string> <key>death_actions</key> <array> <s...

Thing is not everyone wants every OXP (although I play with them all installed). Thats what makes the game so good. It is almost infinatley expandable and players customise it as they wish. Be a shame to lose that variety in game play.

G1 to 5 already have native /OXP mission assigned, so to avoid conflict needs to be 6 7 or 8. When I get round to it, I'm writing a 6 mission OXP for G6. So has to be G7 or G8. This will also mean the player has to have got a reasonable ship before a hit is offered.

Just burnt a copy of Oolite and all my installed add-ons to CD for my brother (fellow 80s elite-head). Over 200 megs!

He may have a point on dowload times.

The real cleaverness of the design is that u can download the basic game quickly and add the add-ons as u find them.

If this is too small right click and save to desktop and zoom it! I am self-employed and have tomorrow off, so I try to finish an OXP for Victim 1 tomorow. (once I get that working it is a faily simple cut & paste to make the total number of contracts offered) As currently planed the OXP will of...

1st draft of OXP

Made a start on this OXP.

Err how do I post a screenshot?
