Oolite Bulletins

I am fighting an endless war against broken OXP's and, no offense meant, nobody would know before that the light model change like that. My personal opinion is that you expect every developer of a OXP ( a lot not available anymore) to update their work to the new model. Bluntly speaking, it's not g...

I think we should focus wiki pages for OXPs on users as the target group, not developers... Not fussed about 1.89... And no opinions about new icon - except that it means more work for somebody. ... But thank you for the new icon! As regards the wiki pages, I agree that users must be the focus. But...

I'm aware, fix is still pending... Unfortunately, I cannot do it myself... Almost there: Anything up to two megabytes can be uploaded again. I requested to reinstate the previous upload size maximum of 150 MB. Thank you for sorting out the mess! Was it the same issue as last November? Or something ...

Goodness! Where did that come from? I've yet to see anything like it. That's from a test OXP I had made some years ago when overlays were introduced in the UI. This one just scans the inhabitants description and if it finds the string "insect", it displays the insect overlay. Found here i...

Just found this: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.ph ... 6&start=15: Orphaned oxps! (2008)

Help! We need some new icons for Oolite versions 1.89, 1.90 & 1.91. (It probably does no harm to add in 1.92 etc as well.) This is for the Template:IconOXP page on the wiki: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Template:IconOXP which then gets used by other OXPs... While I do realise that we can't ...

I finally hunted down the Snark ! 2006, by ADCK Added to the list to upload after wiki is functioning again. Thank you! As a matter of interest, where these old ship.oxps are broken, what actually broke them? Was it primarily changes under Jens (2006-13: v1.7), mostly changes under Cim (2013-5: v.1...

And on returning to the upload page, one finds this: I've had that, preceeded by, File extension ".oxz" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (application/zip). Despite the file appearing fine on closer inspection and even after careful recreation. It's a problem on the server...

Have we arrived at a definitive answer here? I'm editing the witchspace & buoy pages on our wiki and am a tad unsure what to write! You could just say something like "The location in the system where inbound traffic emerges from Witchspace is marked by a navigation buoy", and leave it...

Another question: witchpoint beacons are in the core game, so they're a thing. What exactly is their purpose? Are they simply markers, or are they perhaps needed for incoming ships to lock onto - no witchpoint beacon, no inbound traffic? Have we arrived at a definitive answer here? I'm editing the ...

World plus dog heaves a sigh of relief!

Not Putin, I think.

I wonder if Putin was able to blackmail Trump with stuff from his earlier visits to Mother Russia?

Galactic Misjump 0.5 is now available here . My thanks to cim! Opening it up, there is a requires.plist and two folders . The Scripts folder is empty. The Config folder has 2 .plists and a script.js file. Should not the script.js file be in the empty Scripts folder? NB: link on Galactic Misjumps wi...

New Commodities We now have whisky, quirium fuel, quirium crystals, and more importantly oxygen, water and medicine as new commodities. Is there any hope of expanding Bloomberg/Blooomberg/Bloooomberg to cover them too? Especially the last three from SW Economy? I'd be happy to help write news blurbs...

Can I just ask: if there is a medical emergency announced on GNN or Snoopers - does this reflect in the medicine prices either where I am (less likely) or at the affected spots? Sorry - only just worked it out - this would require Blooomberg Markets to pick up on the existence of medicine, oxygen &...
