Oolite Bulletins

I've been in love with it since I first found out from Ahruman's Twitter feed. Unfortunately, I haven't got a workable Windows install and I can't get the prototype to work in Wine.

I was wondering whether I should abandon this oldfangled Oolite malarkey and try to infiltrate the Infinity team. What do you completely neutral folks think? ;-)

I suspect oolite is closer to being what infinity wants to be than infinity is.
Stick with oolite.


Oolite: all you ever dreamed of!

Oolite - you dream it and wait for somebody to write an OXP to do it*

Here you have everything you need - banter, wit, moaning and wailing inclusive.

PS: You will always be in our hearts ehm... core. No, both .-)
PSS: Would be a shame - I'm just used to you.
PSSS: Ah, sarcasm too. What a board, what a game .-)

Edit: You mean 'helping' them with their secret plans to take over the world?

Video download has stalled 315MB in of its titanic 454MB size - grrrrr....

Not that I'm biased in any way, but considering that Oolite is the ultimate evolution of the best computer game ever (Elite), I don't really understand your question....

it's not, but i wish it was! man, that's some awesome work.

Hmm, fragment shadows, nice!

Sorry, what was the question?

Erm ... no?

A bit late now, but if anyone’s still having trouble getting at the high-resolution video, there’s a torrent here:

isnt it easier to just watch the HD version at Youtube?

Yes, if you don’t mind lousy compression. (Also, it wasn’t on Youtube when I made the torrent, but there were some communications delays.)

A question for anybody else who has downloaded either from Ahruman's torrent or from the Infinity website - does the video occasionally stutter or break-up or is this just my machine (Dell XPS M1730) and more symptomatic of it's issues it seems to have some video streams (i.e. Media Direct won't currently play Blu-ray Avatar without mucho macroblocking every 3-4 minutes).

I didn’t have any problems.
