Oolite Bulletins

So I finally got around to updating the OXZs via the manager and the process broke my installation. I had to wind up reinstalling Oolite after because 25% of the keys didn't respond, including "i" and "a" - arguably two of the most important keys in the game. In addition the HUD went all funny and i...

Hope this gets resolved quickly, just noticed last night. Trying to get Oolite running again for the first time in a few years.

Good to see you, amigo!


The witchspace wiki - like it!

Good to be back and see you too bro..!

Maybe the "wiki down" announcements needs to be more prominent and actually read "oxz manager down--workaround". It is probably not clear to most that there is a dependency from the OXZ manager to the wiki. That would explain.... good to know it isn't anything wrong with the installation. Thanks Ma...

So, I thought it was because I'd installed system-wide but even installing to /home/, downloading an OXZ fails. Interestingly, the list downloads just fine..... Here's the what the Latest.log has to say on the matter: 14:25:59.860 [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not contain a manifest.plist...

I've been watching Black Adder again lately (I hadn't seen it since long before I ever found Oolite) and I noticed the episode 'Money' had some banking black monks. I'm guessing that was the inspiration for our fiat friends, the Black Monks. (Always thought it was fun to mess with them - and will al...

Definitely worth the time. I feel like I missed out.... too bad the family didn't get a C64 instead of a TI.

That kinda depends on which glass you're looking through.

Very true!

It's a Wonderland

Been taking a break from Oolite the past several months to go down the proverbial rabbit hole... quite a lot to learn there. How have you all been keeping?

Wish I had the petro-dollars to have helped. I really like riding my bike, too

Is there no treatment other than their 'drugs'? I wonder if cannabis CBNs would help...

Anyway, glad you're up and running! B)

Now that we can set beacon codes and labels on existing ships from JS... and I'm not suggesting this for this OXP which I don't think should be made easier... but this has brought it to mind... things like the slaver base could be given an intermittent beacon. Use timers to add the beacon, say once...

Have fun!

So, I've got a bit of a feature request for this OXP: it would be great if, given a mission to rescue slaves 'on the far side of the sun', there would be an X marker on the ASC. 'On the far side of the sun' is pretty vague to begin with, and to top it off it's supposed to be a Rock Hermit were the s...
