Oolite Bulletins

I've stumbled across a sweet little "bug" in Oolite.

If you have offender status you normally cannot use a Docking Computer. However if you are cloaked you can!

Does anybody know if this is a bug?

The cloaking device moves with you. Try it. (You can always revert to the saved game).

I shot myself in the foot!

I used "#" as a comment symbol instead of "/*"

This caused an "illegal character" error in the javascript.

Fixed it and it seems that the cloaking device is now behaving like v 1.80.

Many thanks for the help,

I must have forgotten to but now things are worse. Note: I am running the Linux 32 bit version. Cloaking Device still appears in the equipment list. The Cloaking Device Entry in the saved game is still there: <key>EQ_CLOAKING_DEVICE</key> <integer>1</integer> However the Cloaking device: 1. Does not...

I have made cim's suggested modification but it has had a negligible effect on the game. It is better not to activate the cloaking device because all it seems to do is drain energy. My ship is a DTT War Lance. No amount of twisting and turning will break any ship's lock on me. Is there another mod I...

Gottit.

Thanks.

For the first time ever I came across a ship towing 4 "fuel frames". They were large and had names and a clean status.

Does anybody know what these are? I'm surprised that I never came across them in years of playing Oolite!

Is this typical of the rest of your life?

Not typical, no, but at the moment in tune with a lot of other passing storms

Always look on the bright side of life!

Life being what it is, last night I was passing through Laquused again on an RSS mission. I was pounced on by a group of pirates AND a bunch of Thargoids. Instinctively I cloaked to have a chance to orient myself. So the mission restarted! My fuel tank was automagically refilled and I jumped out to ...

Well really all that is required is for the main script to honour the mission_CoyoteCompletionCount key. Check if it is set to one and if so don't run the script. I haven't looked to see if it attempts to do this and might even try to do it myself when I have some time and inclination. (Anybody who ...

I've completed the Coyote's Run mission. However on entering Laquused space the mission tries to start again! The only Coyote related variable in my save file seems to be CoyoteCompletionCount which is set to one <key>mission_CoyoteCompletionCount</key> <string>1</string> Should I uninstall the miss...

I agree that the Nouveau driver still needs a lot of work. I've had problems with both the open source and ATI_Radeon drivers.

This was on an all AMD machine, ie AMD chipset and AMD CPU.

I'm late to this discussion but my 2p worth on AMD cards is Forget them Their proprietary graphics drivers stink. Their support is at the same level as Rome Airport's lost luggage department. I have wasted countless hours trying to get the onboard graphics of a new system to perform. (a 4-core 6800K...

I don't want to give away any spoilers but you shouldn't obey everything your partners tell you.

I picked up the passenger, jumped to Biarra, rendevoused with my 2 partners and fought the good fight, Splashed 2 escape pods. F5/F5 said to go sunskimming, which I did. After that no more instructions. The Go sunskimming message persisted. I got to Zaeredre, sunskimmed just in case then could not f...
