Oolite Bulletins

Can we (you wonderful, creative, talented gentlemen) make infoForSystem.planets read/write via JS? So we can specify an planet object prior to entry into a system? We could specify position, type (STELLAR_TYPE_MOON for example), radius, and texture. Maybe specify a planetinfo.plist entry by name. T...

the battle for your brain is the most important aspect of gaming... [/evil]

nobody has any remarks?
EDIT: on the trumble oxp.
I'm sure there have been at least ... ten downloads. ;P

personally, OXPs that have no or little information on the wiki available have a much higher threshold to get downloaded and installed. A topic on the bbs may seem sufficient and can contain much more information than a single wikipage, but also contains much non-relevant information to be sifted th...

Do they fire their lasers from the abdomen?

it's supposed to refer to the native missiontexts, that is correct.
I'll fix it for a next version, not much change from the pre js version, that one also only added a single hint.

aah!

Hi Arexack_H, in the js script for this updated oxp there appears to be a typo in line 68 which I believe must say mission.addMessageTextKey("constrictor_hunt_1_253"); , not mission.addMessageTextKey("constrictor_hunt_1_235"); . Cheers L Thanks for the report. :) Did you actuall...

wikipages can always be reverted to earlier versions, it is one of it's basic design features.... Dunno what provisions Winston has made for an eventual servercrash or any other events that would get the alioth server location of the wiki discontinued. A periodic backup of the whole by an active ool...

A bit of documentation in the HowToOXP wiki pages for how, which and where to add pages for OXPs would be usefull for new peeps (as well as returnees )

Several pages are, such as this one, but still there are two pages that need a manual entry to be made for new pages. above is one, as well as this category index here . The automatic listing only lists pages with links attached, OXPs such as Tionisla graveyard, which don't have a page are not liste...

Actually, I've had to change two entries for my recent updates. One in the alphabetical listing and one in the separate categories lists iirc. edit: one being a new page and one an update to Con-more-hints which does not really rate it's own page. still, having a single OXP-specific page with your d...

I second the motion against additional download links in the overview listing. Anyhow, files not linking to a wikipage are currently download urls. Standardizing where an OXP-download-link is displayed somewhere at the top of the specific OXP-pages may be a good thing. (Most pages follow a fairly si...

As a temporary fix I just linked it to playerlocation, that works, but results in a lot of ambushes at exiting HS. I also encountered a recursive escort escorting escort problem with the 'riggs'. Oolite auto fixed it, but it may cause unintended lower number of spawned tigers. Liking your gang-scrip...

version 2.0 is now in javascript.
Legacy plist script is still in there, fixed in fact.
(I noticed a serious typo in the original)
