Oolite Bulletins

No, I downloaded from GitHub.

Plus the odt document is bundled into future releases - if there are any.

Actually, just checked and this is not the case. The current pre-release installers contain the outdated PDFs instead of the current ones.

You wrote this almost 20 years ago. A lot has changed since then. What do you think now?

I think that both games are great and I still prefer Oolite.

Only the PDF Reference Sheet is outdated. The .odt (LibreOffice) source Reference Sheet file found in the same Doc folder on github is fully up to date.

So one downloads it manually via the wiki page and then bungs it (manually) inside your ManagedAddOns folder (since as an OXZ it has a manifest.plist). Please do not place anything inside ManagedAddOns, this folder is designed to be used by the Expansion Manager. If you do throw OXZs in there manua...

Indeed it is.

Just remembered, you also need to have the FPS thingy enabled with Shift+F when you use the arrow keys. That must be the missing detail.

Oh, that one should have the feature enabled too.

Right / left arrow keys while in pause. But you need the Test Release version of the game, this feature is disabled in the standard deployment one.

secondly - am i hallucination, cos i could swear vipers used to cruise about w/out flashing lights which would then come on if their alert state changed?

They still do.

We have a new nightly (commit 0031890) where now the OXP verifier uses the default application set by the user for opening .log files. If it fails to find such an app it falls back to Notepad. This feature is implemented for the Windows build only.

1) Yes, this is used by the game itself and I have no idea how it ended up inside your OXP folder, but it should not be a problem removing it.
2) I'll see what I can do. I will try to query the OS for the app set by the user for opening log files and use that, It will be Windows-only though.

Thanks, both. I had forgotten about the need for a 'test' release. Can anyone advise on whether I ought to do something in response to the following output from the verifier? 12:50:43.586 Scanning files 12:50:43.589 ----- WARNING: "GNUstep/Defaults" is a nested directory, ignoring. 12:50:...
