Oolite Bulletins

Browsing the forums today I see that someone is importing Elite:Dangerous models into Oolite, and I saw somebody else using Elite: Dangerous scrrenshots and artwork as their BGS screens... got me thinking. ... Well, the BGS backgrounds was someone's private project, and was not publicly released.. ...

Can you tell what was the inspiration? Currently I´m tinkering around with a shield dial that shows different colors depending on the installed shield enhancements. I saw the blue dials in your hud an took a look at the hud.plist to find out how this works. But real life is keeping me very busy at ...

Oooh, those are some spiffy ships!

Seconded!

Again a very nice hud, looks cool! 8) I took a look at the code to figure out the syntax for the key to change the color of the dials. I completely misunderstood the description in the wiki so till today canging the colors of the dials nerver worked in my hud desingns. :roll: Now I know how it works...

got a weird radar echo going on here... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hbH9HD2nILY/U8SpCryqcYI/AAAAAAAALLk/PpzJUTeQ_mY/w960-h523-no/oolite-026.png I´m not sure if this is a little bug or a feature. The doubled scanner is displayed once the scanner enhancement is installed because the entry in t...

Hello commander dan3008 and welcome to this board, the friendliest place this side of Riedquat. :D I think the development of something like a dogfighting computer will require quite a lot of scripting. I would suggest to start at the wiki. There you will find many howtos that will give you valuable...

Again a very nice ship. Good work!

Very nice new ship! Good work!

I also like the back-story. Maybe someday we can visit the the Darkside Moonshine Distillery and buy some noble drops there. Where is it located?

Looks very nice! Good work!

I guess the superior speed will keep this vessel out of most trouble as there is only a handful of ships fast enough to keep up with it. A Fer de Lance NG would be a predestinated escort fighter for a Typhoon.

Meanwhile... Does this remind you of any particular sci-fi film or is it just me? http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r742/stevensemail/oolite-014-Copy_zpsaa459194.png The screenshot reminds me of a movie from 1974, John Carpenters "Dark Star". The screenshot looks like the scene where Bo...

Ok.. so how does 60,000-70,000 for a single delivery sound? Or 100,000+ for a cross-chart run involving 2-3 drops? :D You were on the right track there with the passenger-runs idea, although you didn't realise it.. Here's why. Many, many really fat, juicy cargo and passenger contracts are out there...

Very nice planet! I´m looking forward to see it in the game.

Thank you very much for your kind comments! :D That station looks awesome. It certainly does, In fact so much enamoured with it am I . that I would like to see it more often , say for example in Stations for Extra Planets. So perhaps your people could talk to Captain Beatniks people and something be...

Hi, this .oxp adds some eye candy and background story to the ooniverse, a customized Riredi-system: "Riredi is very fabled for the Rirediian mountain slug. These gigantic creatures are isles of flourishing life on the barren planet and each of them forms a complete ecosystem. Dealing with radi...

Looks great, good work, spara!

I especially like the new BGS docking tunnel.
