Oolite Bulletins

When I first installed Oolite for Linux, GNUstep was a requirement. I now have the impression that it is only necessary for development. if so I will purge it from my system as it is a pain, especially at upgrade time. Could somebody please confirm that, as I don't do development, I don't need it? (...

I have run v1.4.1 and it seems OK so far. I revisited Raaed and it logged my contact's speech. There's some time to go before I can test the questions bit.

Thanks.

Thanks Ramirez.

I will report back tonight. (After installing a new graphics card.)

I hope the sun shone on you during your holiday.

I have the same problem with the log. Blank! I hope Ramirez pitches up soon. I have been to the planet where my contact worked out what the orders were, then back to Vegidius and then interviewed the pirate on Edzaar. One other anomaly, I was unable to ask the first question on the list. pressing En...

Do you have the "Save Anywhere" OXP installed? If so you will need to remove it. What I think happens is that when you a teleported to the station to save, Deposed tries to kick in but is blocked. The way I sorted out my problem was to remove Save Anywhere, delete all Deposed related items...

Generally I first get the Random Hit, then build up a series of cargo and passenger contracts in that direction. It's best to start at a short edge of the Galaxy. I can do up to 3 passengers and 5 cargo contracts but with missions this is the first time (in years of play) that I have tried to have t...

Thanks for this. As it happens I had already decided to zap the relevant strings and start again. I hadn't really got very far, just dropped the fugitive off if I remember correctly.

Lesson learned: don't let 2 missions run concurrently.

Well, I got to Esarqure and nothing happened. The mission varaibles I pasted earlier were unchanged..

Thanks! Esarqure was not marked on the map and I must have missed the message - OXP Clash?

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, to Esarqure we go...

I am revisiting Galaxy 4 and started the Deposed Mission. This clashed with Trident Down so I temporarily removed the OXP. I have completed Trident Down but Deposed seems to be stalled. At Dicebe I was told to contact Galcop if Drile contacted me but since then nothing has happened. I have the follo...

I frequently see mining ships blasting asteroids. Even in the heat of a big battle the thargoids take time to blast the witchpoint buoy. I have also once seen a NPC destroy a Rock Hermit pirate nest. This was before Rock Hermits started to be labelled "Pirate Cove - Bounty 100 Cr" I took i...

Maybe I can help: Nvidia DO make fanless cards - mine is an 8600 or 8800 (can't be fagged to check) PCIe fanless. No extra power required and I have no complaints with performance. (60fps when I launch from Lave without any saved games loaded.) That said please note that I am running Debian Linux on...

I can edit the save file, that's not a real problem.

As far as I can tell the variables ARE set - they have been written to the save file! Unfortunately the reaction of the OXP to the variables is to do nothing and turn the lodge - and other ones - into a "normal" station.

Wouldn't a possible solution be for the OXP to "notice" that there is a duel pending, and restore that?

Like Britney Spears, "Ooops I did it again". If, at a Royal Hunting Lodge, I accept a challenge, place my bet and then instead of "Enter" I press F1 to launch there is no opponent waiting and I cannot recover from the error. When I reenter the Lodge and press F8 I get a trading s...
