Oolite Bulletins

Another bug: Cannot get to the shipyard to see purchasable ships...

Details: Xexedi, lvl 14 planet.

One bug I noticed. Now, in the intro screens, as the ships zoom in and rotate, they sometimes zoom right past the screen instead of stopping to rotate "in front" of it. Happens pretty randomly as the same ship may stop to the correct location one time, but zoom right past the next...

Good point, indeed. Can this be realised differently for the "strict Elite" and Oolite?

I've had no such problems with the installer version on my PC... Although, ever since I bought a Josher, I've been wondering if there was supposed to be a rendered ship on the F5 screen or not... I just thought I had seen the Cobra there, but the Josher does not make an appearance...

Was that the real start of the project or the date when the first working piece of code was finished?

Anyways, congrats to all you guys who have been working on this so hard!

Worked perfectly!

But the darn program quits automatically when you Alt-Tab to visit some other programs... Can that be changed at all?

Ah, I suspected that, but wasn't certain... I'll try that.

The game hanged (nor for the first time - usually happens when I land on a station) when I arrived to Lave system (simply froze and nothing happened and I had to stop the application from the control panel). These are the latest recorded processes: 2006-03-30 16:23:51.000 oolite.exe[620] Populating ...

Having the same problem. In fact, since I first changed to 1280x800 in windowed mode, I haven't been able to change to anything else ever after. Not even by changing the values to that file. Contents of file: { NSGlobalDomain = { }; elite.exe = { "Jameson-humbletrash" = <*I14264>; display_height = <...

ideally, if we're wishing out loud, it would be nice to be able to 'hold on' to a model for as long as desired and affect the direction of the spin.. As it was in Amiga. You could either look at the automatic spin or stop it by touching the cursor keys and then spin the ship how ever you liked to (...

Ok, I've played a bit more now and I'm no longer harrassed by the pirates as much as I use the roundabout route. In fact, as I hyperspaced in-system at 90 degrees from the planet, I started to remember having done thus also in my Amiga days... How rusty can your memory get... :? I also decided not t...

Whoa! So much help in so short a time! Thanks, everyone! I didn't add the Thargoid war OXP, but I did go for the lave.oxp, oldships.oxp, tori.oxp and wolfmk2.oxp... I hope none of those increase the chances of meeting so many pirates or the Thargoid. I'll try the roundabout route to the stations fro...

I'm an ex-elite from the days of C64 and I think I got pretty close with the Amiga version as well. But with Oolite... I feel like am a beginner again... I start the game by going to Zaonce to sell some food etc. Then I buy 2 tons of computers to bring back to Lave... Suddenly, I'm attacked by a Tha...

Whoa!

I found out about Oolite only two days ago (I think I tested one of the very early versions a long long time ago, though), tried it out yesterday and now I find the one thing that I missed (alongside with Wolf MkII): Amiga sounds!

A big, big bow to you and a virtual free drink as well, Eagle5!
