Oolite Bulletins

Spara (the maestro of the markets) has very kindly offered to teach me a tad about programming OXPs through this thread. It will focus on updating the SoThisTC orbital station. Click for image ---> http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/File:SoThis_station.png Sothis was originally written by Killer Wolf ...

Hmm. My first pass through the plist files didn't reveal anything startling. Can I get you to try something? Can you download this version of Ships Library: ShipsLibrary_Test.oxz There are no functional changes in the OXP - I've just tweaked a couple of characters and removed a line break. You'll n...

So that extension is what I thought it would be. I was even able to purchase it, then I was not able to activate/use it. It may be a hen/egg problem... Definitely is! You need a HUD.oxp loaded which supports MFDs (I presume that the Vanilla game HUD doesn't), and you need to understand the use of t...

Hi, During initiall installations of OOLite, I installed some expansion packs without really mentioning which I used. I am just in the beginning, one of my missions is to find a hidden planet close to Biorle. The planet can be found by a forced missjump. And when I did the missjump, end up in betwe...

I thought Galactic Navy was kaput. And no updates as no license. No idea about that, as GN was never of interest to me! I just did a quick search and posted the link - terrible, eh? I could say I had other things on my mind at the time, but that's no excuse! I thought you were supposed to be perfec...

The Tionisla Reporter thread should contain some hints that will help - good luck! And Galactic Navy is probably the OXP you're looking for. I thought Galactic Navy was kaput. And no updates as no license. Nor is it on the Expansions Manager. Galactic SatNav is on the EM, but I don't quite think it...

played Elite on a C128 home computer in 1984 ... Now, my kids do not need that much attention, I step back to the roots and found oolite. Perfekt, loving it.

cheers, lucky business and good hunting

Welcome! And Enjoy!!

Somebody also needs to tie in some of the Expansion's Manager's OXZ's with already existing unlinked pages in the wiki:

Eg: Target System Plugins, FPO Lave, FPO Zaonce, Extra Thargoids, Shaky Drive etc., etc.

Just to get back to the wiki, for a moment! Hiran's idea of automating the wiki will run across one problem: avoiding duplication of what is already on the wiki. We have a wide plethora of different styles for naming oxps in ways which deviate from the names on the Expansions Manager. Expansions Man...

... very low on my list. Therein lies the problem - everyone has different lists. You are right, I am sure a lot of players will appreciate a great shadow before the need to press space :lol: Sorry: I should have written: Personally I see my Ooniverse through the shadows of the introduction on the ...

So what would you like to see? Just curious! For starters: We still have some excellent ships from Griff out there, Bug, Gnat or Wolf Mark II for example. There are several laser variants in OXP's, specially Redspear gave it a deeper thought. All of that could be (very) easy implemented to the core...

Hiran, I'd argue that all this is in Cim's excellent Ship's Manual . Only two problems with it: (i) it has a low profile and I doubt many people realise it exists/download it/look at it. (ii) you have to pay for the MFD version so that you can read it in flight during the long journeys from the wit...

Do people just not get mad about necroposting here :lol: Welcome to the boards! Enjoy! I hope you get as much fun out of all of this as I have managed! As regards necroposting, all the people who fumed about it seem to have died off! Honestly, in my reading of old posts, I could never work out why ...

Are there any setting or option to change mouse controlls Elite2-Frontier style?
