Oolite Bulletins

Yeah, I'm getting more used to it now I've played a few hours. Just treating it as a completely different game to Elite. Nice one, and once you add some cool oxp/z's of your choice it gives the game longevity as well as opening the game up a little more. There are so many to choose from, i'm curren...

I think I've discovered what the main problem is. I've put the Military Laser power up to the level it was on original Elite - so it can take out a Krait in 3-4 hits rather than well over 10. But, the Laser barely ever hits from 10,000k+ distance, despite the fact ALL of the enemy lasers hit me alm...

Are you dedicated to sticking with the vanilla game or are you are willing to modify it with OXZ's and OXP's? The mod route will solve this problem rather quickly with just a few additions like New Lasers, Multiple Lasers and Separated Lasers, Eco Lasers, Laser Cannons, you get the idea. The majori...

Grabbing numbers out of the air... Initial purchase price: 5 million Operating costs: variable (see Big D's post) Optional: Refurbishment costs: 1 million Upgrade of shipyard: 3-5 million Disclaimer: I have oodles of cash, and need a money-sink. Yeah i'm somewhere around this amount, but i think i'...

Protection for ship name generation process, in case randomshipnames doesn't return a ship name when asked. Thanks for that phkb,...

Thanks

No problem, glad i could help. And welcome to the friendliest forum this side of ???

Hi getting Not Compatible with Oolite v1.86 red text on start up screen... :( It's because the requires.plist says { version = "1.75.0"; max_version = "1.75.99"; }. You could always change the max version to 1.88 or something and i'm sure it'll still work. Don't quote me though. :D I just changed i...

It’s on my todo list to add it to the manager though. The OXP, I mean, not core code. Core doesn't need to be added to the manager. And adding it to the manager would likely cause the Internet to fold in on itself the first time someone tried to download something, initiating an infinite recursion ...

Hi phkb

I know this is a few months old but i was going through your addon list adding any i don't have, yeah i'm a phkb addon addict. Is this still relevant as in has it been fixed in later Oolite versions? If not i'll add it to my list.

It works fine, thanks again, really appreciate the time and effort mate.

I'm using Trunk 1.83 nightly builds x64 Ah, in that case, can you change line 271 in xenonui.js, from this: if (oolite.compareVersion("1.83") < 0) { to this if (oolite.compareVersion("1.83") <= 0) { and see if that makes a difference? I'm using nearly all your addons, very cool mate! That's wonderf...

Although if you said you use a customised Coluber HUD where the allow_big_gui was set to true, then that will be the problem if you're using 1.82. The ability to check the current hud for that setting only comes in 1.83/4, so my routine checks an array of known huds that have it set to true. I'm us...

@NorthenderPNE: There are HUDs around (for example Xenon HUD) that are kind of disabled during docking, so they don't occupy space. Hi Fritz The HUD i'm using is captain beatnik's coluber hud ch01 slightly modified. I also changed the setting from allow_big_gui = yes; to allow_big_gui = no; which s...

@NorthenderPNE: Now, to override the background images in Escort Contracts, and keep the Xenon UI look and feel, edit the "xenonui.js" file and remove the comment marks from line 114. Let me know if it doesn't work! Yepp it works! :wink: Hope you didn't read my previous, it didn't work post, i load...

But I found a (very little) bug: If I leave the ship specifications screen, the higher central frame remains until switch pages again. I solved that by swapping out the relevant png file with another. Because i purchased loads of equipment it would overlap the smaller box when docked. Switching sol...
