Oolite Bulletins

*Obligatory thanks for time and effort!..... Not a problem. Thanks for sticking around and helping me to troubleshoot. It's given me an excuse to make this work for a platform I'd not been testing. Disclaimer: I don't understand a lot of the detail contained at 3.19pm post I'm afraid. Fair enough. ...

I've just updated the linux static libraries bundle on my fork, which as far as I can see is otherwise much the same as the 'proper' master. I confess I've simplified the doxygen bit in actions, using the one in ubuntu rather than grabbing ti and building. Seems adequate, builds faster. The build to...

My findings so far: Simplest take.. wait for my next post, I'll have updated my fork. LXTerminal indeed does NOT support dropping files. I set up my VM with LXDE and XFCE4 DE's. I found that "XFCE terminal" does support drag and drop even under LXDE, using the LXDE file manager. I set up O...

As above. By all means peek, but don't worry about answering any of it.. The next post is more relevant. I usually use LinuxMint with xfce4, so I'm setting up a Deb12 VM for my own education and to see what's up. I have a bunch of debian VM's, but they're all headless servers. To help me emulate you...

Perhaps we should have optional "save file compression", complete with suitable filename suffix for clues. Even the venerable gzip can squish these down to <10% original size, though it is my understanding that zstd is the current weapon of choice for both speed and compaction. That'd save...

Sleek... Mine are about 3 megs now!

Edit: I've set up a VM, and am exploring this more deeply. Please stand by. Folding the posts into a spoiler for now to reduce pointless faffing for all. Will simplify presently. So - a degree of success! Yay!! I have managed to install the game (raw method - drag and drop into the terminal didn't w...

One more thing... :) If you encounter any issues with the above, i.e. the installer refuses to launch, please paste or type the next two commands into a terminal and post the results. This will tell me the exact OS version, and verify the machine architecture. cat /etc/os-release uname -m Thank you.

MrF - firstly (again!) - thank you for your time and patience! No problem. I think I need a little more hand-holding (Who knows how I might cope with a docking computer if I ever get to it?!!!) I have downloaded the "test" file as you suggest - it appears in my "Files" app in th...

MrF - thanks for swift reply. I think this "may" be more of a "user" error than programme one?! I don't think I'm completely(!) sure of what I need to download - and then what I do with it?! I have the .tgz file downloaded - but cant seem to do anything with it except open the c...

I'm trying to install the game to my chromebook without success! I have downloaded the Ver 1.90 file for Linux - but can't get any further than that? Am I missing something obvious?! Edit: I have been thru the guidance at wiki page etc, but cant seem to run the downloaded files? I have Linux Versio...

I've not noticed any .mtl files in any of the ship.oxps so far. 1) I've failed to get Obj2DatTexNorm.py up and running (surprise!). I seem to have a number of versions of Python floating around my hard drive - 2.7, 2.7.1, 3.7, 3.7.1, 3.8, 3.83, 3.9, 3.10 No idea as to how to handle all of them. I'm...

I've managed to download (what are hopefully) models for space stations (pace my eternal search for stations where space-ships are constructed). <snip> Any ideas as to how I might be able to turn them into .dat files? Interesting. If nobody else picks this up before our next orbit of Sol, please re...

I am playing around with Whisky, which combines Wine with Apple's game porting toolkit to translate OpenGL and DirectX to Metal (if I understand it correctly).

22:38:16.803 [rendering.opengl.version]: OpenGL renderer version: 2.1.0

I think that may be the issue. >1.90 needs OpenGL 3.

When I have more time - I will tell you want my History teacher's dad did when a supermarket moved into the same street where he had his little traditional corner shop. It was simply genius. I'd be interested in reading this. I'd missed this thread. Nice necrobump Cholmondely, nearly 12 years! Tesc...
