Oolite Bulletins

Just a quick note to let you know that there has been a visual improvement on the atmosphere shader. Now, when close to the planet, you can see a blue haze at the very edge of the atmosphere. 5000 words equivalent below (planets shown are Lave and Anlama): https://i.postimg.cc/yxFBr3Fx/image.png htt...

I was using pyinstaller on Windows as well. When I talked about building the application I meant generating a stand-alone executable. It turns out I had omitted adding the icon in the list of files that pyinstaller packs. Without the icon, it was defaulting to the Tk one. I have now managed to build...

Good job, thanks.

As a very minor observation, after building the application, I get the Tk icon on the console window rather than the "correct" one. Any idea why this would be?

Just got word that Terrastorage is going down - most likely permanently - in the next few days. If you want a nightly build containing the new nav buoy, best get that PR in now.

I am by no means knowledgeable enough on the subject of licensing, but if the OXP scripts are to be uploaded with changes in the copyright string to make them CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, maybe it would be best if Cmd. Cheyd uploaded the entire OXP with the license change also in its readme file. That would lea...

Thank you for the advice! I am rather script-illiterate, though. If it isn't too inconvenient, would you mind demonstrating what that inversion would look like? Here's the shipdata.plist entry: "workcom" = { aft_eject_position = "0.0 -15.0 -190.0"; ai_type = "route1traderAI.plist"; bounty = 0; carg...

First, how would one invert the input of specular_map? Right now, I'm using low alpha to designate specular and high alpha to designate flat, but when I put it in the game it reads it low alpha as flat and vice versa. I should have thought of that before, but I'm wondering if there is an easy way t...

this code tweak doesn't work. I checked it earlier and it it does work. Make sure there were no other accidental edits in .GNUstepDefaults. That particular file is quite sensitive to editing and if a syntax error gets in it, then Oolite will delete it and create it afresh upon launch. In such case,...

The feature has been merged and will be in tomorrow's nightly.

My tests have been good too. One thing (which I think is a long-standing issue) is that, immediately after mapping a joystick button, it seems to take two key presses to do anything else (eg, you have to press space twice to close the page, or page up/down to change page, or arrow up/down to select...

Here is the link to a new Windows x64 test executable: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x8TnCRwFcVbC5yS5jdJkfvkiPIzdvP_c/view?usp=sharing What we are trying to test in this one is an update to the intro menu (the one on the rotating Cobra screen). Rather than having to load a game before the Game Op...
