Oolite Bulletins

Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who/Torchwood. Really just an imitation of Captain Scarlet, but... well, there's no "but" really, I just feel the need to write a few words more. That's enough.

The eponymous Captain Scarlet, of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons fame...?

The OXP PROHIP Xpat b1 is not in the Available list. How exactly did you install it?

plutil just gave this fix the thumbs up!

I do not understand, though. You've used this OXP before, with Oolite 1.77, so how is this an issue now?

I think I see it now. It's all of them , every line. 17 was just the first. Try copying these two blocks in; I think I got every line, I added 14 semi-colons, I think. "autotrade_options_when_on" = { "21_OFF" = {text = "OFF: no recommendations or automatic trading"; ali...

I presume that I misunderstood your instructions... Nuh-uh. You did as I asked. Now I'm intrigued. missiontext.plist: Unexpected character { at line 1 So, it's telling us that it's reading more { than } in the file. Unexpected character { at line 1 means it never found a } to close that block, so t...

I'm back playing on v.1.77.1 and have this OXP loaded. You do this just to hurt me, don't you? Wildeblood.ai_trading_2.15.1.oxp My recollection was that the last version was 2.15.2, but whatevs. Line 17 is where it was up to when parsing failed , but it's unlikely the mistake in the mark-up is on t...

Only six lines... Great! :D Here, I'll get you started. :P this.name = "survey2357"; this._surveyDone = false; this.missionScreenOpportunity = function () { if (!this._surveyDone) { /* Stuff goes here, probably about "six lines" worth. */ this._surveyDone = true; } } this.shipLa...

The reason I very rarely buy new books is because here in Australia the paperbacks are anywhere from $20 to $33 each I'm damned if I will pay $33 for a paperback ! I can get 10 books for that at my second hand bookstore. As also stated everyone wants to write a trilogy at the least then most contin...

Because [reasons], I viewed a random website today. It was in the old-fashioned, article/comments format. ("Blog" format. Sorry, often the terminology evades me. Anyway, it pre-dated the modern infinite-scroll format.) ...Anyway... I think the reason blog-style died out was because allowin...

Should use about six lines of code.

Make a note of that, I've already altered it once, from five to six.

Might it not be easier to just create an oxp which outputs all this to eg. the latest.log? It might very well be, but I have no idea how to go about doing that. Besides, I'm not playing the game myself yet; I'm just doing lore research. So, I would really appreciate any and all input, if there is a...

Ok I’m stumped… can someone PM me how to get to a quarantine system? I’ve got urgent thargoid plans to deliver! <presumption> Set a different system in the same direction as your destination, mis-jump into interstellar space, set the quarantine system as your destination, jump again. </presumption>

Hi everyone. I'm opening this discussion because I can't quite understand what triggers criminal status. Are there any goods that are illegal? If so, how do I understand what they are? and why are they in the general market? shouldn't they be in a different market? As noted, three commodities are i...

I opened the oxz and simply replaced the tracks, leaving the same name. now when I load oxz the game gives me this error: Expansion-name does not have a valid manifest.plist and cannot be loaded. Does anyone know why this error occurs even though I didn't touch the manifest but simply replaced some...
