Oolite Bulletins

Wait a min... Is there support for shady planets now?!?
I might get lured back if there is....

How do I do that? Is just changing the license statement/declaration in the script good enough?

Okay, so what do I need to do to allow this to happen? Change the license universally? Provide a specific license to Oolite core dev?

Let's make this a thing.

Thanks for the mention of my work, Cody. And you're correct. I no longer develop my OXP's. I lost interest when the Shady Planets branch of code died, combined with a bug I'd run into with the cubemap converter (I forget the name of that tool now) that was lingering for a long time. If I ever got a ...

Sounds like a fun OXZ. Interesting to see folks still use ANC.

Also, it's been a while since I messed with it, but I seem to remember being pretty clear on the fact that the ANC OXP would change default behavior as an immersion element, and actually purchasing the ANC in-game item yielded the benefits.

Well, if you haven't already, add yourself as a contributor. You've added to it, now

To expand on that, the idea of the ANC is that the ANC computer is taking extra time to calculate your route. This is implemented by extending the jump timer. The return for this added time is a fuel savings (refund) upon exiting from WS at your destination. Pressing 'h' relies on the 'normal' compu...

Sounds like a killer extension of the ANC, man! I'll have to try playing some when I get home next month.

You guys don't know how encouraging it is to have folks still comment on these OXP's so many years later. Glad you guys like them. (And I've given phkb permission to make the EWI part of the manager.)

Sure. If you'd be so kind.

One of these days, I'll get around to making it available in the manager. Mostly, I don't know what's involved in the "new" format and haven't had motivation to look into it. There are a couple slight code updates I made to this as well. The buoy would fly back to its start point if bumped off posit...

... as an irrelevant aside the deep horizon Buoy oxp still provides the single best buoy in the whole of Oolite for my liking Aye, it is rather special - have you been right up close and tried reading the text on them? Did someone finally read that? LOL... Be careful. If you happened to be able to ...

Thank you very much, Layne. Very kind of you to say. I know DH-Systems released to a fair degree of complaints, so it's nice to hear someone likes / uses it. I'll try to carve out some time to play around with them. I know there are numerous changes to Oolite that enable several "features" that I tr...
