Re: Changing Key Mappings?

You need a HUD.oxp loaded which supports MFDs (I presume that the Vanilla game HUD doesn't), and you need to understand the use of the : and ; keys to control the MFDs. Being a newcomer so hard that I do not even know you can use : and ; to control the MFDs. I use them to yaw the ship... EDIT: I am...

Re: Oolite Wiki

Would we be able to edit the thus-created pages? We do have people writing material whose English spelling & grammar could benefit from help - and being read by others with similar issues. If we can edit the material so that our readers or the automatic translators can at least translate accurat...

Re: International Dawn Chorus Day

Apparently, there's an International Dawn Chorus Day (the first Sunday in May). There'll be an international day for everything soon. Having recently migrated from the town centre to the leafy suburbs, I can confirm that the dawn chorus is alive and kicking! But if today is the day , then you shoul...

Re: Recession

Hmm.. 'beta' status in '06, possibly some modelling issues - I'd like to know the significance, in johnsmith's planning, of the wormhole question and whether LittleBear's response is valid wrt v1.90. I've grabbed a copy, had a quick squizz; wonder if this might all look a little different as Spara'...

Re: Oolite Wiki

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

I seem to recall a conversation from a few years back about appropriating planets in an OXP and how that could cause trouble if the same planet was receiving treatment by two unrelated OXPs. Does someone with a better brain for these things maybe have more detail so we can see if this is still rele...

Re: What "can" be changed without re-compiling?

Black Holes Charlie was experimenting with this back in 2006/7 (pre-Javascript days): He left an empty folder in his box account: https://www.box.net/s/b2tic3tjsk and references in this thread https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2596 and this https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=33588...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

One more thought: we could always ask Selezen what he thinks. He might even be interested in helping develop it further!

Re: Cloud City OXP

New wiki page now shows screen shots of these. http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Cloud_City_OXP No longer so convinced that they are "just the thing" for Zarece. It has been argued by some of the savants of the University of Murraor that these superdense gases are not strictly gaseous, that...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs: Expanding Seosu/Capisastra OXP

All systems are multiple times documented, so I would consider it as not a wise move. We can't add another system as well. I would suggest changing the lore a bit instead. But are they? We had this issue with Sori/Ascension, and by the time somebody flies out to the other end of Galaxy 1 from Lave ...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs: Expanding Seosu/Capisastra OXP

But: Do we have the coding technology to hew a closer line to Selezen's proposal, and remove a system from the F6/7 screens in Galaxy 4 which can then act as the base for the Seosians/Capisastrans? And do we have the coding technology to use it as a base with armadas fanning out from it to lay wast...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs: Expanding Seosu/Capisastra OXP

But... if this inimical species is based in hyperspace/interstellar space, with artificial stars, surely their technology will be so advanced that they no longer need spaceships looking like space invaders! I understand that we do have the technology to follow the Montana05/Cody route. But: Do we ha...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

Do you happen to know whether Seosu supplies the unmapped system to Galaxy 4 where this new species resides? Not that I know of, the OXP got no new stations or planets included. Could be fun to pick a jungle world from additional planets and make it their home world. :lol: Quite! But need to squeez...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

1) Cloud City.oxp by Dr Beeb for Zarece et al. : https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5932 Never hear of that one before, thank you for that. 2) Seosu.oxp/Capisastra.oxp by dear old Selezen: see http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Capisastra_OXP on the wiki! Seosu is not mapped on Galaxy 4 ...
