Oolite Bulletins

So cool to have you KillerWolf visit the forum. Am I correct in assuming, that it's ok to use your old work in derivative oxps? I would really like to add Sothis, Nuit and these babies to the Stations for Extra Planets oxp and maybe release SothisTC oxp in the manager.

I'm fairly sure this this.showBar = function() { mission.runScreen({ title: "The Local Bar", screenID:"show_bar", message: expandDescription("[education_bar_gossip]") background: "litf_bg_localbar.png", //This adds the bar image behind the message }) } should ...

Almost there Correct this to this and it should work as intended.

Is it feasible to detect what oxp's are being used and add in relevant tips which only show up then? Sure it feasible. You can easily check for the presence of an oxp and act accordingly. I would start with general gossip first though. I would create a list of converstations to the descriptions.pli...

So I commented out the internals ( lines 34-38 ) and the option to visit the station bar finally appeared on my F4 screen. The only thing, was that I couldn't "select" it! So I'm still doing something wrong there. But a stage further forwards. Nothing obviously wrong in the latest.log Ste...

1. Rename "world-script.plist" to "world-scripts.plist" 2. Remove "," from world-scripts.plist 3. Fix whatever there is wrong in the "this.showBar" function. I did 1 & 2 + commented the internals of the "this.showBar" function and the Station Bar...

many a thing amiss, must gather a team to go bughunting again...

Oranges in space?

Nice work cbr. Really nice. Looking real good. I'm a bit out of touch, but at least in the past the role of the ship defined what the ship was/does. Role station creates a station. Probably the best tutorial with these sorts of things is the game itself. Look at the config of the native station, inc...

In the latest released version it was the same rock... Ah, I see! Somewhere in the original (the one I was test pilot for) there was a proper station (not a rock). From a very dim memory, it had a central dock and two arms, one of which was broken, but it was still rotating. Perhaps Smivs removed i...

I'd be interested to see what the broken station looks like (broken, as in missing a chunk by design.) It's so long ago, I can only remember it was fun/tricky to dock at. In the latest released version it was the same rock, but with a broken textures for the box in the entrance. Don't know if it at...

so I'll see of I can find something suitable. Still, if someone fancies making models, the station needed should be low tech, one man surveillance station. Hole in a rock type of thing. https://i.postimg.cc/NFkq8mXV/asteroid.png Hole in a rock? Nice. Excellent I would say. For the dock, nothing fan...

Now if I could only figure out the benefits and methods behind the way Griff does his diffuse maps in a semitransparent style.. To my understanding it's just a more compact way for distribution. Instead of multiple images for different aspects, all is baked into one by using alpha for effects/norma...

Grim news This is just so sad. R.I.P indeed.

I mean it would probably be best to put the oxp the the wiki instead of my box. I see no problem in putting it to the expansion manager. It should work just fine even though a couple of the models are very outdated. I'm just not sure if it's wise for me to put it to the manager since I'm not that ac...

I hate the way the configuration interface works, it is just so immersion-breaking I created a small OXP for myself to default the Asteroid Tweaks settings, moving the settings into Library Config and then suppressing all the prompts the original OXP will display. If there's interest I can post a c...
