In this case the Snoopers team does not include me - this is all hard graft by Svengali - I didn't even get chance to beta it due to RL(tm) issues. However, in honour of the new system I've started to put together some news items for those of you in G2...

I can send you some FP2 planet descriptions if you want so that you can some news items on.

Silently through the backdoor... Snoopers2.0 for Oolite v1.74 is there.

The Snoopers team .-)

An idea.

Please excuse me if this has been thought of and discarded already.

Would it be possible to have a thread on the forum where snoopers can pick up news items and post them in game. This would allow people to post good stories in the game, their latest escapades and failures. OXP makers can even post updates that will show in game. Would have to be able to turn it on and off, but OXPConfig should be able to do that or?

Just a neat idea in my view.

You mean something like YAH subscribtion thread, but for snoopers instead of ads? I'm for it...maybe a few can be from my log, when I get to play Oolite again (had a few busy weeks, but I will resume work soon).

@DaddyHoggy/

Where you able to produce some news items for Galaxy 2 already?

I also need someone to proofread the planet descriptions. Sent a message to Drew on the 7th but got no answer. He hasn't even read the message because it is still in my outbox.

Do you want to proof-read my fp2 texts?

I have made a start, but only a short one - RL(tm) sucks at the moment - my wife is/has been quite poorly - but this and FP2 descriptions could provide some momentary distractions - punt them over and I'll do my best.

You could include some items from the Darwin Award thread.

Pilot, singular? Just because only one person has owned up to it, doesn't mean he/she/it (how many sexes/species are there in the Ooniverse anyway??) is alone in practicing Near-C Sentient/Mineral Tempora-Spacial Co-Location experiments - in fact, I've lost count of the times I've got bored trying to target Boulders and Splinters from more than a couple of klicks and just decided to Jumpdrive past them...

Oops.

Press Space Commander.

(Hmm, are Trumbles merely an offshoot from the Lemmings of Old Earth? The Truth Is Out There...

Snoopers 2.0.1 is online.

A Patch for 2.0 -> 2.0.1 is available too (10.1KB).

The update is only scripting related and fixes missing identifiers in the lookuptable (snoopers.js) and adds a missing check for 'SHADERS_NOT_SUPPORTED'.

Does Snoopers use Shaders then? What for?
