Oolite Bulletins

It seems like thumbnails aren't regenerated upon uploading a new version of an image. I ran the manual purge action on the image description pages, which should clear old thumbnails (though you still need to clear the page cache on your device), and looks like it helped.

The page cbr linked, Oolite embeds the image directly - [[File:oolite-logo3.png]], while Oolite Main Page uses (if omit some template substitution) [[Image:oolite-logo3.png|128px|link]], that use thumbnails.

I am pretty sure there are some 'content' thingies that we can do - and then there still are logo and favicon stuff that require phpbb admin privileges.

Who of us has those?

Which most probably means Giles and Giles only.

The github project's avatar has been switched to the new icon. If you still see the old avatar when visiting the page, try refreshing the browser cache (Ctrl+F5 should do it).

Edit: The debug console will also need its icon updated to the new design.

I’ve updated the debug console icon.

Debug Console v1.6.1 has been released on github. This is a minor release and there are no functional changes to the previous one. There is, however, the brand new red icon.

How did you get from the repository content to the executable?

I used pyinstaller to create a self-contained executable, This has always been the method of generating the Windows console releases.

In a bit more detial: In a fresh Python 2.7.18 installation, just run pip install twisted==20.3.0 (last version of twisted for Python 2.7), pip install pywin32 and pip install pyinstaller==4.5. This installs all the dependencies necessary for building the console application. Then execute pyinstaller fron the console app source code root folder with the command line
pyinstaller --onefile --icon=OoJSC.ico --add-data "OoJSC.ico;." --windowed DebugConsole.py

Thank you for that insight.
Since Github only offers Python 3 I can only setup automatic builds once the project has been migrated.

Do we have a clean copy of the new logo? I'd like to update my YouTube thumbnails.

I believe we should collect these documents somewhere in version control. Not necessarily the oolite repository.

Is there any point?

The 3 usually downloaded versions do not have the new logo (last stable version: v.1.90). Neither do the 3 Developer releases. And of the nightlies, it only applies to one of the three, no?

Well, it's a rebranding exercise. It can take a little while for every aspect to reflect the new image. You fix 'em as you find 'em!

Obviously, a new release is needed before the brand is fully changed. It will take some time.

Just noticed something about the new icon. Loaded up the latest nightly and I see the new icon appearing like this in the main game window:


Notice the black background? This was not the case before. Here is how it looked with the old icon:


Not a big problem, but I think the transparent background is better. I also note that the black background appears only on the game window, everywhere else it appears that the icon's background is transparent as it would be expected.

Odd. I’ll have a look at what went wrong. I thought I’d made sure each size had a transparent background.
