Oolite Bulletins

It took a bit of nudging (after they lost track of my work ticket), but I now have access again to Box.com, and my release of Zeke Mining Transporter 0.1.1 has been posted there for your downloading/asteroid-blasting pleasure (see first message of this Topic). For general interest, this was the solu...

I knew that zip files can't be previewed, didn't want to preview them, don't know how the "preview" setting came to be switched on in the first place, and couldn't see how to switch it off – as I said, that's probably because the browser I was using wasn't showing all the relevant buttons....

Ran into issues with box.net . They said 12-24 hours. Alternatives? box.net has become box.com. try that? Thanks, I know. The problem was, after I registered yesterday and uploaded the .zip file, I started getting behaviour I didn't want (kept saying "Could not preview the file" on attemp...

Not clear to me what needs to be in a new OXP's Info.plist (capitalized?). Nothing. OXPs don’t need an Info.plist. But at this time http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_Distribution says: "Include info.plist and requires.plist in your OXP. " Perhaps should delete here "info.plist and...

I place both the OXP itself, as well as the downloaded folder from which I pulled it (and in which readme, license etc remain), into the AddOns folder: since they're very similarly named, they show next to each other when AddOns is viewed as a list, and I can just pop the OXP into and out of its adj...

Not clear to me what needs to be in a new OXP's Info.plist (capitalized?). The one for the Oolite v1.76 application itself defines 30 entries; most OXPs that have it at all, show four – for example: { CFBundleGetInfoString = "UPS-Courier version 1.7.7"; CFBundleName = "UPS-Courier&quo...

I spotted this poll in the Announcements Forum, and was confused about how to vote until I realized I had to re-load this Topic in another Forum that was not read-only. A brief note to this effect in the first posting might be helpful. OS 10.4 is the last Mac OS that will support all my Classic/OS 9...

Thanks for this handy OXP. I have used and enjoyed it. Though not an exact simulation of a telescopic zoom lens (instead it shifts the Point-Of-View forward), it sure does help sniping. I was wondering if a version can be made available for an aft view (to defend against a chasing ship, instead of a...

I've been unable to download the MusicPacks "Pack ST01" and "ST02" mentioned at http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Hyperradio_Musicpacks , but for each get the message "Folder Not Found". Are they now Missing In Action?

That did it, loads fine now - thanks!

I report this error in the Latest.log after loading v1.5 of this OXP with v1.76 of Oolite for the Mac: 20:07:42.558 [log.header]: Opening log for Oolite version 1.76 (PPC-32 test release) under Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 (Build 8S165) at 2011-12-19 20:07:42 -0800.

Certainly, any change generally takes some getting used to, particularly if it ends a cash cow. But many players would accept it, if the reasons are good. And if they prefer, they can always tweak it themselves, or stay with an older version. But I agree that attack on the mother need not be inevita...

I had the mission to run my third race at Ceesxe, was greeted as a ring racer by the "Q" buoy, ran the race and received confirmation of 10 rings passed, but timer never started and no new time or mission was recorded at the end. From Latest.log, these lines seem relevant: 17:59:13.437 [lo...
