Snoopers 2.4 Problem

Post by smudge »

I have installed Snoopers 2.4 into my Windows7 setup. On the first installation using the F4 key while docked at Lave station the response was nil, repeated use of F4 produced no indication that Snoopers 2.4 was installed.

I deleted that OXP from my Addons file. I downloaded Snoopers 2.4 from the mirror site and installed the OXP in my Addons file. Same result.

Can anyone please offer help and guidance on how I can persuade Snoopers to work correctly?

Snoopers bulletins only occur randomly (I think). At some stage, you'll get an in-flight message to check F4 when you dock.

It doesn't always add an entry to F4, only when news is received. If you fly around going about your normal business, eventually you'll get a notice appearing about new news when you're coming in to dock. (I forget exactly how often. Every 10-20 jumps, perhaps?)

If you have OXPConfig installed, you can adjust the frequency with which Snoopers bulletins occur.

Many thanks for your help. I am still learning how to operate Oolite.
