Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I knew this forum was active, but I'm still surprised how quickly I got responses.
Maestro, I note that you still drop in occasionally...



3 Questions:

1) How have your views of Oolite changed in the past half-decade?

2) Any chance of seeing the missing bits of The Rebellious Three? I very much enjoyed what I read...

3) Did you ever follow up on Wildeblood's offer?

Thanks for the tips. Especially SniperLock. That looks like a crutch I'll gladly abuse :twisted: .
Yeah, I think I know what you need, and created it several years ago, but never made it public. See if you can persuade one of the currently active OXPers to take pity on you. Someone who knows their javascript and doesn't hate me. Point 'em toward me. I'll describe to 'em how to recreate my lost Autotrack OXP. Everyone will love it and thank you for it.

Curse windows 7 and windows update.
Comments wanted:
Missing OXPs? What do you think is missing?
Lore: The economics of ship building How many built for Aronar?
Lore: The Space Traders Flight Training Manual: Cowell & MgRath Do you agree with Redspear?

Well, sir? Confess!! (Then there will be something on record for people to gaze at the next time you waltz off for another decade or so!)

I know what you did.
You read my other reply, then put "Autotrack" into the search box.
"There are large, white swans, and there are small, black swans," he explained, "But there are no medium-sized swans, and there are no grey swans. The non-existence of grey swans mitigates against belief in Mr Darwin's theory."

Actually, old boy, no. I went to the List of Lost OXP's on the wiki and found the link there (and I rather suspect that you have more lost OXPs than any other author).

But, come on! Spill the beans! What were the mysteries behind the mystical methodology of Autotrack?
