Oolite Bulletins

The ship-buying crash is there since 1.69.1 and has to do with your current ship having subentities. @Ahruman: I would guess, as both are involving playership's subentities, it's related to bug 011686 , probably using the same underlying buggy routine, and crashing in that. Still there in 1.71-1271...

Sometimes i get one of those, too (latest dev binary 1.70, RHEL5, GoFX5200).
Before things get FUBAR (all memory is allocated, everything is painfully slow) i usually get several of:

Caution: This may crash your system. You could try renicing the game. ie increase the priority it runs at. Obviously other stuff will slow down and if you overdo it all sorts of problems could crop up. First thing to try is running glxgears. See what frame rate you get. For comparison, on an Athlon...

Hey all, Thought I'd resurrect an old thread. In the spirit of wasting money and adding a little flavor to the Navy OXP, I'm adding the option to buy war bonds (offered randomly). I think there should be some benefit to buying them, however. I thought about implementing a counter and after you purc...

Why not buy a Mussaranavoid yacht? Starting price: CR 875,000. I'm saving for one right now!

Because Fer-de-Lance NG is just as luxurious and much faster! I did fly it before i traded some comfort off for extra 0.1LS

My ship is hard enough that if a missile hits it only takes about half a shield away. So if it's a hardened missile i generally just let it hit. Surely an anaconda would have even bigger shields?

But this is a brainstorming here. And as with all brainstorming, a lot of the specific ideas are not feasable at second view, or have to be adjusted and balanced out. And here I find myself in the same line with you, as both of us e.g. feel that 0.5 million credits for a private station/mothership ...

I've just reached 500,000 Credits (and a ship worth nearly 400,000). This means I can buy Q mines for fun and zip about the place using extra fuel tanks instead of bothering to buy it at the much cheaper price at the station. So should there be something frivolous to spend all this excess cash on? ...

I checked the OXP. There is a star64.png file in my copy. Deleting galaxy256.png and star64.png from the OXP does solve the problem. You will just need to hold Shift when restarting Oolite, so that the game cache gets rebuilt with the new configuration.

Thanks, it helped!

Found that, it is "Sung's detailed textures". Tried removed "suspicious" textures by one, but could not find yet. Any ideas why this could be possible? The sky drawing code was changed about 6 months ago to use additive blending. Look at the below thread for a further explanatio...

A start would be to disable all OXPs, to verify that it is actually an OXP issue.

but i have more than hundred OXPs, how can i find which one causes it?
