Oolite Bulletins

By the way, if somebody knows how to have a texture on a model be 100% lit, regardless of it's alignment to the sun, could you drop me a hint or two? The dark tunnel on one section of the video is due to the alignment of the player on launch causing it to be in shadow. You need to override the shad...

Do users really have to touch the settings apart from the expansion manager download URL?

No they don't. And with 1.91, they don't have to do anything about the download url either.

Not on the Windows port, because we are distributing just the gnustep-base dll with the game and nothing else from the gnustep framework. BTW, we do have the defaults.exe program in the Development Environment for Windows under https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-windows-build-env/tree/main/gcc/...

Version 0.2 is now in the Expansion Manager. The wiki page has also been updated (Cholly, thanks for setting it up).
Unpiloted entities no longer generate red alert.

For clarity's sake and to be consistent in terminology in the above line change unlocked to online . Confused me for a bit until the OXZ was actually used and the context became clear. Weapons unlocked can either be the same as weapons online or can be easily confused with not having a weapons lock...

Intentions to have it on the Expansion Manager?

Eventually yes. Just needs a bit of testing in the field before that.

Have you noticed what happens sometimes when you encounter other ships in the Ooniverse? Initially the encounter may appear friendly or neutral, minding its own business, then all of a sudden its blip goes red on the scanner, your red alert goes off and you are now under attack. But the ship has not...

Getting in trouble again (or, How to Make an Adder Look Menacing).

Just wanted to mention this somewhere: I'm digging the new forum so much! Great job to all involved.

There was a native exception though, that is a core error that shouldn't be happening. Starting from the fix you applied, can you get to the root cause in the code and try to stop it from failing? Looking at the gnustep-base sources, this seems to be an exception triggered from the NSMakeRange metho...

A new feature was introduced during the forum's downtime: FXAA . I only posted about it on Discord at that time and forgot about it, but since we have a forum again, here goes for everyone: In the latest nightly we have support for Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing, commonly known as FXAA for those who...

I think that NoSleep's music is the national anthem of Oolite and I'd feel bad seeing it replaced, even though I will admit it does get obnoxiously loud at some point. I am thinking that replacing and/or enriching the sound effects set might be more in order than music, The default set is in dire ne...

Not bad overall. Of course, the blue-on-dark-blue and black-on-dark-blue will have to be adjusted to something that is actually readable.

On other news, I've already contacted Giles. Standing by for response.
