Oolite Bulletins

Hi All,

I am new to Oolite and thus have a very hard time in combat. I used Cheat Engine while playing Oolite in Window mode to capture the forward and aft shield values so that I can cheat using them. I searched with datatype 'int32' but it did not capture the address for those parameters. So does anyone know how those addresses for forward and aft shield can be found? I just want to practice combat with cheat to get good at it.

Thanks.

This feels like you’re working too hard for your cheats! Most players, when looking for ways to get ahead, usually just resort to just editing the save file to award yourself lots of money in order to purchase all the upgrades you can eat.

Can I also recommend having a browse through some of the  combat tactics on the wiki? There’s a lot of great advice on how to survive combat.

1. Edit savegame and increase your cash to insane value
2. Try traveling to a planet with high techlevel so you can actually buy most of the nice upgrades, but
3. along the way check the available ships to see which one you feel comfortable with
4. Finally be aware that on the highest techlevel one or the other upgrade may be considered illegal and gets removed so you may need to find another planet to stock up again.

Maybe we need a cheat guide...

Location: lurking in The Devils Triangle (G1)

So that's why the Devil's Triangle is called the Devil's Triangle....

You can use a simple script to make your shields nearly unbreakable, I use it sometimes to observe battles I started.

Guys, I figured this out. If anyone wondering, you need to write an OXP and use these following events and properties.

Code: Select all

this.shipBeingAttacked
this.shipBeingAttackedByCloaked
player.ship.aftShield
player.ship.maxAftShield
player.ship.forwardShield
player.ship.maxForwardShield

this.shipLaunchedFromStation = function(stationLaunchedFrom)
{
	player.ship.maxForwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield * 100;
	player.ship.maxAftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield * 100;
	player.ship.energy = player.ship.maxEnergy;
	player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
	player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
}

	player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
	player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
}

Something like that ?

this.shipBeingAttacked = function(whom)
{
     player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
     player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
}

this.shipBeingAttackedByCloaked = function()
{
     player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
     player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
}

Nah, I use this. This makes you immune to all laser attacks.
