Oolite Bulletins

Also, I have to ask 'why?' A galactic jump is not dependent on fuel - the gal-drive is a self-contained one-shot piece of equipment, and the amount of fuel a ship has on board is in no way connected to its ability to gal-jump. Because I don't like that. My Sensible GalDrive requires fuel. I am goin...

Not being a programmer, I'm not really sure, but at a guess once the countdown has started the program doesn't recheck that the galactic hyperdrive still exists. It probably only checks once when the player initiates the hyperspace. Exactly. It would be better if it re-checked when the countdown re...

Doing this does not work as I had hoped it would: this.playerStartedJumpCountdown = function(type) { if(type === "galactic" && player.ship.fuel < 7) { player.ship.removeEquipment("EQ_GAL_DRIVE"); player.consoleMessage("Hyperdrive must be fully fuelled for long-range ...

Sensible Lasers OXP ver. 1 http://www.boxcn.net/shared/mn3nqtyy9h1k9v2b91k3 This OXP tweaks the equipment purchasing system (F3 screen) in Oolite. Place the Sensible Lasers OXP into your "AddOns" folder. Oolite will now allow you to sell a laser weapon and leave the weapon mounting point ...

Programming in a list of destinations to significant systems for the next jump could be done with a mission menu and/or very long CASE sections in your code. Adding that to Quantum Drive System might be easier than starting from scratch, so go ahead and use that if you want. Thanks. My "Sensib...

Excellent.

And g'day too.

Time to bump this old topic. I want to write a "programmer" for the GalDrive when it is in BEHAVIOUR_FIXED_COORDINATES mode, essentially a menu of interesting destination systems in each galaxy/sector. It should have "explorer" and "military" modes. In the former would ...

I'm actually thinking of making fuel injectors MUCH less useful - by making them increasingly unreliable as they are being actively used (basically, they are 'overheating'), with the potential of exploding and causing damage to the ship. After all, they're basically dumping raw quirium into the sub...

And, as of 1.75, you can also decide which ship hasn't got a witchspace motor . Up until then - and by default - all player buyable ships were capable of witchspace jumps. Unfortunately it's an either/or option. I can't think of any way to switch that capability on or off via script... Can non-hype...

Does this work independent of your HUD, ie, is it compatible with all HUDs? Most of them, yes: - It works with any normal static HUD. - It works with dynamic HUDs that use Thargoid's switching script (Killer Wolf's HUDs* and MilHUD). - It works with CSOTB's numeric HUD, but I doubt about his more r...

Version 1.75.3.2 is a minor tweak which allows you to switch the target reticle (a.k.a. Scanner Targeting Enhancement) on or off in Sniper Sight, without affecting its general use.

Cargo canister compared with a Cobra Mk1: ... There's no way ten will fit inside. :? It looks that way because the cargopod is surrounded by its protective, radar-reflective balloon, which automatically inflated as it was ejected. It will automatically deflate if it is scooped. The balloon makes th...

You've got a stray " in the file somewhere, which it's interpreting as the start of a string that never ends.

Put another " somewhere near the end and see if it throws a more useful error with the line number the bogus string begins on? (Would that work?)

I went ahead and fixed the display so that the writing doesn't go over the HUD elements ... Doesn't go over actually drawn HUD elements, not just the area at the bottom of the screen where the standard HUD is usually drawn? I ask on behalf of all who use a script to switch to a completely blank HUD...
