Oolite Bulletins

Do let me know if there are any differences in the way the hud is displayed between 1.76.1 and trunk, I'm planning a bit more code tweaking there, and the sooner any wrongness is spotted, the easier to correct it!

Excellent news! :) By the way, if you don't want your type of escape pod to be used by any old ship, you can always do <key>roles</key> <string> galtech_escape_pod_1</string> and they'll be used exclusively by the ones with <key>escape_pod_model</key> <string> galtech_escape_pod_1</string> or, in 'n...

The CTDs continue with 1.77.0.5332 (I'm not moaning, just reporting). In the very brief looks I've managed to have at it, I notice that my Fighter Hud doesn't display the legends by the gauges (ie fuel, speed, temp etc) - just blank spaces. Has anything changed in trunk that could cause that? The v...

I'd go with either returning null or NaN, myself!

However, if all you want is extra energy bars, you can specifically set the n_bars parameter inside the drawEnergyGauge definition. You'll need a custom HUD.plist for that, though...

Not quite as helpful as increasing max energy itself, I know...

More developments on that! It has now come to my attention that quite a few contracts can still be fulfilled even if they're past their estimated departure time. So I've tweaked trunk and in there you'll still be able to pick contracts for some time after their estimated departure time: however, the...

Mind you, using the debug console should to set the coordinates allow people to just find their 'perfect' setting much more quickly! Not to mention that in theory you could combine cim's js external view stuff with a framecallback, and get an external camera view that kind of bobs in your wake... or...

Hmm, it was a bit of a pain, but seemingly not as bad as I anticipated. The refactoring isn't quite complete, I'd prefer to test that change a bit more thoroughly before making any further changes. In other words, it seemed a bit too easy... :P In any case, as of rev5319 mass lock calculations shoul...

I see! Tricky envelope pushers! :P As A_C pointed out way back then, that part of the code is quite ancient, and messing with at least 5 years' worth of implicit assumptions is bound to cause 'some' disrupion once we decouple the drawing of the scanner from what the scanner actually checks for. That...

What do you mean? Afaik, creating a hud without a scanner in 1.76.1 doesn't cause the problems CSOTB mentioned - or any specific problem, apart from causing the player to fly blind, as presumably intended.

In 1.75.3 on the other hand...

As of rev5318 (i.e. tomorrow's trunk build) the green text below is refreshed whenever you select a passenger/contract row. As it was, Oolite would still allow people to get contracts they'd have no hope to fulfil. In trunk, all contracts with an estimated departure time in the past are now greyed o...

Ah yes, shipTakingDamage also firing when ships are taking damage 0! I remember that well - it's working as designed as per https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11853 - though I was under the impession the documentation had been updated... The new events you mentioned whould be useful for...

Different versions of Oolite in other partitions (or just in other directories) won't affect each other, even if they share the same save game directory. Hopefully a dev team member or two will find out a way to reliably CTD with trunk, so we can start figuring out what exactly is causing these prob...

ubication = a highly magniloquent (couldn't resist! ) way of saying position...

of latin origin, no less, so I'd guess commanderxairon's first language is a neo-latin one - spanish maybe?

Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce these crashes in vanilla, I'll add OXPs to see what happens. The good news: it doesn't look like it's the modified system populator, after all: if the CTDs originate there, they would only happen immediately after the end of the tunnel effect. The bad news: it looks li...
