Oolite Bulletins

Is the escape pod speed linked to the PS max-speed? Are the waypoints 'dropped' by the pod rather than behaving like a beacon aboard the pod? Their position updated to a static point when made visible. My ship is has 'fruity' engines. I was chasing the bloomin' thing at near 3000k and barely catchin...

Runaway escape capsule mission glitch. I go close to the intermittent waypoint while it's visible, close enough that the waypoint nearly fills the screen, but there's nothing in the middle of it and nothing on the scanner. The pod exists, just not at the waypoint. If I hop to the pod with LRS, it's ...

Aren’t we just taking about the properties of the player ship? Ie https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_PlayerShip Pretty much. My point is that those appear somewhat limited if one wants to view or control things remotely for either external controls, or automation. For ex...

Looking at what might be fun to have published via MQTT, I drilled in: [blah!] were more possibilities to be created, in order to avoid swamping the MQTT server, perhaps a topic of 'available_pubs' could list the possible pub messages for the running Oolite version, and another topic 'wanted_pub' c...

The link you posted redirects me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Parkway_railway_station. Just up the road from where I'm writing this! How on earth did that railway station get a mention? I see what happened. I hit Wikipedia link rather than Wiki. I now know the three letter code for Oxfor...

I'm not sure there is a 'right' way. If you look at OXP , perticularly the "AddOns and Managed AddOns folders", you'll see that on Linux there are three possible locations, and at least two of those could be in use at the same time. The link you posted redirects me to https://en.wikipedia...

Ah!! Looking at my somewhat more weathered Linux setup, we're talking about the 'manually installed' addons! On Linux by default (for me) it's $HOME/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/AddOns So... Does that have a default location on the Mac, and if so, should it not get pre-populated by starter? I'm happ...

Does starter oxp only manifest during a run? Sometimes (on both MacOS) I get a grumble about it being a duplicate. You guessed right: It gets injected by OoliteStarter just before Oolite is fired up, and it gets removed right after Oolite terminates. Let me know what to prod next. Not sure. You are...

A couple of observations. (back on my well-lived in Linux setup) I've just updated to the latest dev build of Oolite. Starter noticed something had changed, but I see no easy 'refresh this entry' button to simply update the version. I could copy and paste it somehow, although there's no --version a...

The book category is still wanting, but remember I'm looking for one that's not commonly found in the other formats listed. Also a stage production, or in the absence of that, a good second answer in one of the other categories will be accepted. This makes things a little tricky, because every book...

ok, for radio i propose Hitchikers guide to the galaxy. Arthur dents village is "invaded" or visited by the alien Ford Prefect. Then the Vogons turn up and things get hectic... BUT before they turn up ford has ben on earth for quite a few years. Nice try. Reminders. A second answer will b...

WIlco. When I''m sure of the situation above. Also.. does 1.90 take that args to load save games on the other platforms? I've not tried it. See here: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=291772#p291772 This is a strange error. Could you post your $HOME/.oolite-starter.conf? <AddonDir/> This is w...
