Oolite Bulletins

I should probably add them to the manager...

*looks at list of unpublished updates*

They’re still relevant if you’re using the built-in planetary textures. If you’re using PovRay planets, or Bplanets (in those systems it touches) then it won’t do anything. It’s not incompatible with those OXP’s, just that the changes it makes won’t have any effect.

Long response: dang.

If there is only the one witchpoint buoy in a system, why would it have a name?

Bureaucracy loves identifiers. So do DB admins. There is no correlation between these two things, though.

In order for a ship to be visible on the Ship Library, it needs to have a demoships.plist file in the Config folder of the OXP.

In the source code, they are refered to as demo ships and it is described as demo screen. See Universe.m

the source code labels things in a way that makes sense to the source code, which may or may not line up with what things should be called by the player.

Does that mean that BGS is also a library? Not really. It provides background images (which BGS, Xenon UI and Library refer to as a "GUI"), sound effects, enhanced warp shaders, that sort of thing. It's not really providing any external interfaces designed for other OXP's to make use of. Library GU...

*What is that first game screen called?

The "Main menu"

*And is the Ship's Library appearing there part of the vanilla game?

Yes.

I think (and I haven't confirmed this) but Oolite doesn't do the full deprecation check thing on every launch. It might only be when there's been a change from the last time it ran. Which is why the messages don't appear in every run. As for those messages, OXP Config (oolite.oxp.Svengali.CCL.oxz) a...

The Rock Hermit we would want to be the owner would not be necessarily active. I've been thinking long and hard about the possibility of having a full shutdown switch somewhere for a Hermitage. Here's where I'm up to. The first part relates to how close to the current observable operation of a Rock...

Can you add

Library OXP to your install? The problem looks to be less of an actual bug, but more of a require OXP not being defined as requried.

Welcome aboard, commander! First, it's worth pointing out that Oolite is seen by many of its players as a toolset for making your own, unique space game experience. Engine sounds can be added to the game (there are a couple out there). Laser sounds can be changed. New ships with different flight cha...

s this all because the game first selects the ships to be sold and then checks to see which are sellable at that TL? It's more that by changing the pool of ships available to be sold to the player (by adding player-flyable ship OXP's) all the random number selections that, in a vanilla game, happen...

How do I get the number to fit on the page? I put in some commas at the end, but they have no effect!

Put this code at the start of the line:

Code: Select all

<span style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">

And this at the end:

Code: Select all

</span>

HUD Selector, MFD Restore after load & MFD Fast Configuration I'd try without any of those installed and see if the problem persists. If I was to hazard a guess, I would suggest the first two are fighting each other. MFD Fast Config shouldn't do anything if have haven't set up any sets, but best to...
