Oolite Bulletins

Very cool cim. :) 8) :shock: See, I bugger off for six months and somebody produces my dream OXP!!! OK, when I get my new work laptop up and running I'm back on the Oolite horse! DH, I know you were wanting shield flasher effects a very long time ago so when you finally get down to playing again you...

A bug report for you, CSOTB.. I tried the SCS out, and while I liked it, I didn't like that my external views were gone, and uninstalled it after a while. The problem is, the external views never came back. All I get is a black screen. The views are still defined in shipdata.plist (I use the multid...

One thing to be aware of is what is actually the fuel scoop and how much space at minimum should it take up. After looking at the elite sequels' manuals it is listed at 6tc and a cargo scoop conversion can be added to it for 2tc. So, really small hulls probably wouldn't be able to have a basic "...

I've noticed an odd interaction between this OXP and the BETA Cargo Spotter OXP. When Cargo Spotter is active, the salvage targeting simply doesn't work. No idea why; maybe you can hash it out? It annoys me because the CargoSpotter doesn't light up bright enough for me to see the cargo, unless I'm ...

The next government or alliance of governments who go down the path germany did in the 30's and 40's will simply burn the books by pushing a button. Do all of yourselves a favor: buy real books with pages from a local seller. Supports your local economy and prevents others from obtaining your credit...

As was said in another thread earlier, in-game distances are very unrealistic. And now, when I see it constantly, it started to put me off. So I defined that the distance between the center of main planet and the center of the sun is one Ostronomical Unit (OU). The distance is now shown in OUs rath...

Perhaps as I mentioned before in the customshields viewtopic, maybe having whom is null for the player when cloaked isn't such a good idea. I worked around it for the customshieldsv0.83 oxp.

Welcome HAL.

Your eyes will thank you, and it's customizable too for both ambience and game mechanics.

Welcome extrec.

Do you like shield and damage effects? Try out CustomShieldsv0.83 and it has user selectable features from within the main script so you can tweek it with or without a realistic shield model for the npcs as well as many other features. Enjoy!

Thanks CSOTB. It in no way detracts from the game, as I'm sure you're aware, so no problem. It was a good excuse to get me to register and stop lurking. As well as my attempt at being helpful :-) BTW, I also have the customshields OXP. You seem to have a knack for picking, tweaking and adding bits ...

[cough] customshields [/cough] Just installed that one. Now I can listen to my shields being pummelled in full surround-sound, followed by the satisfying explosion fireworks when some miscreant meets a sticky end :-) It's a beaut! Definitely adds to the immersion factor. Thanks. What I like the mos...

I would like a title of my own and would consider it a great honor.

Perhaps ships with CLASS_POLICE should self destruct shortly after pilot ejection?

Seems better as the perogative of oxps.

I heartily recommend this OXP - it's the best OXP of the year, immersion-wise!

Oh definitely. That and BGS

If on the other hand you have an oxp in place :mrgreen: that gives the player a new target lock with a different target right after he loses the lock on the target the missile was targetting Which event handler are you using for this? Is this with or without the Multi-Targeting System? :oops: Pleas...
