I'm wondering why he tried to do it all by himself.
Because he had a personality disorder that made him imagine anyone he allowed to become involved would try to rip him off. That was obvious from early on.

Re: Seeking expressions of interest

Nice. Feel free to donate that to the Explorers' Club ship set... Wildeblood... what was the Explorers' Club ship set supposed to be? I can tell you what it wasn't: something for you to add to your lists of "lost" or unfinished OXPs, since it never existed. Having said that, I knew exactl...

Re: Oolite music

A completely different, yet closely related, question. It cannot go on without some screen backgrounds being included in the download. Not a whole collection, but that start-up screen being plain black is cringe-inducing. Here's what I use: https://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/3/36/Alien_landscape.p...

Re: Aaron Aarts' Amazing Adventure

Well, I just dropped in that second file and started Oolite, and... Oolite puked and refused to load it, complaining that it "does not contain a valid manifest file". Huh? I changed the missiontext file, not the manifest file. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but seriously, the fragil...
