Oolite Bulletins

I'm not too sure that I properly understand this.

Would doxygen help identify issues with the code for the AppleMac?

My worry is that things continually change in the wonderful world of the silicon chip. Oolite used to run wonderfully on the AppleMac. But the AppleMac changed. The various images stored on once-free Photobucket now come out like this: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn180/Frame_2/battle6-2.png a...

I have for some time wanted to include more options for ethical choices in Oolite, and Alnivel suggested to me that an Ethics OXP might be a possible solution. My thinking was along these lines: •Help an escaping astro-gulag convict actually escape (Commies) •Help a refugee adder safely dock at the ...

Alnivel and I have been working on Spara's version of Xeptatl's Sword. There is a problem: we replaced the old monitor stations with a new model snitched from elsewhere. BUT. The model is much bigger than the monitor station - and when we shrink it to size, the docking bay becomes too small to take ...

I wonder if this might be a syntax error in your .plist (which you presumably edited to point to the new site). Maybe if you posted the .plist contents for us? My problem is solved. As Alnivel pointed out, I added the new oxz-index-url in the .GNUstepDefaults file. Great! Alnivel is very helpful.

I haven't check Oolite in a while and now I get an error while trying to update the OXP list : 19:27:08.037 [plist.parse.failed]: Failed to parse C:\Users/jerry/Jeux/Oolite/oolite.app/GNUstep/Library/Caches/org.aegidian.oolite/Oolite-download.plist as a property list.

If you are referring to our wiki, just let me know what text you want put up, and I'll get onto it.

That is a good description. Would it make sense to add this into the source code? Just so that it is not forgotten in this forum but stored where someone in need of it would also find it? I've pasted Cim's description onto the shipyard.plist page on our wiki. Oh! And: Forgiven! Forgiven!! Forgiven!!!

thanks for that page, looks great

I'm just trying to be useful. It's your stations, ships and HUDs which look great.

In your .pdf: "Which? Space"

You meant this to be different from What Spaceship??

Or should I change the reference on the new wiki page?

The current temporary Xpat AI has them very stressed and pessimistic about strangers, but the way phkb describes the future of broadcastComms, it would seem manageable to switch to a trusting AI and have them see the player as an ally, maybe even follow you blindly. But to what end? Maybe a refugee...

Starting with "your mother"?

9) Console Messages Console messages disappear after a few seconds and are never recoverable. Unlike communications from ships/stations/beacons (which use the ¬ on some keyboards and ~ on others). Might it be an idea to change this so that one can recover them? OR maybe keep them displayed until ca...

I think that there may be another complication. Are the ships for sale in the orbital station shipyard brand-new or second-hand? Prima facie, the first seems true - but then what happens to all the trade-ins? And if the pirates had any sense, they would be grabbing ships and selling them on the seco...
