That is a nice HUD - what is it?
I also like the Terrapin HUD which I have transferred to my Pallas for weekend showing off

It's the Military HUD, which has a aiming point that changes colour when you are lined up with the target. See here: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/HUD_im ... ilspec_HUD

Terrapin HUD? Not heard of that one? It's not on the HUD page on the wiki, (link above).

EDIT: Ah! Its part of the Terrapin Trader ship OXP....

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge. 8)

Not really sure what I'm looking for in there, but I guess the following are the correct bits.

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_reserve_counter</key>
	<string>0</string>
	<key>mission_reserve_offer</key>
	<string>OFFER_OPEN</string>
	<key>mission_reserve_status</key>
	<string>STATUS_ENLISTED</string>
	<key>mission_reserve_targets</key>
	<string>0</string>
Those two counters at zero are possibilities.
I think the bit you're looking for is

Code: Select all

		<key>mission_vicbond_count</key>
		<string>101</string>
I've got 101 Victory Bonds – your number may vary ... ;)

AT LAST ! ! I have a working Military HUD (never been able to get it to work before) and HUD link also reminded me that I have a Medusa HUD here somewhere - another one I really like..

hmmm, it's not working on this MosquitoFire..

Yes, the Terrapin HUD is the one in the Terrapin (ship) folder - I think I had to mess around a bit to get it into my Pallas lowrider but it is nicely colour co-ordinated: now that I think of it, it's so co-ordinated that I can hardly see it against the swirling flashers but hey! who cares! it's a furry humanoid magnet in McDoonalds flyingsaucer-park :mrgreen:

:idea: try putting the Medusa in there..................

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Junkie watches with body-parts still attached?

Sounds like you've been chewing too many edible poets and not finishing them off ;)

Hmmm, mine is at zero. :( Can't remember how many I had bought, but I think its around 25.... Wonder why it didn't save....?
