Oolite Bulletins

We DO NOT disembark our Ship when we are working on the Rock Hermit facilities. I always envisaged the opposite. Oolite doesn't explicitly tell us one way or the other, so this is quite subjective. Both views are perfectly valid. WHEN the RH's Life Support is not USED, it should NOT kick you out. T...

Weight increases result in slower turning rates (pitch, roll and yaw), and reduces the maximum speed.

Hermitage uninstalled... Sorry :/

No worries. Possibly evidence that it's not fun in its current form, which is always a risk with the fundamental gameplay shift this OXP is attempting to implement.

I think is should be easier to make, one player can be the server and the other the client, coding coding, blah blah blah, Done! LAN network game! Your enthusiasm is laudable, but I can say, as a developer of both Oolite and in my day job, that turning a single player experience into a multi-player...

G'day, CMDR_JohnJameson, and welcome to the boards. I also grew up wanting to write my own space game, with Elite as the prime source material. Porting a game to another language is not a trivial task, and writing a space game as your entry point into the world of C++ programming is quite ambitious....

Anyway, if anybody dares to look at some questionable JavaScript code I found that with player ship definitions, at least for core equipment, it's better to try something like this: var myShipDef = Ship.shipDataForKey("ship_data_key"); var equipKey = "EQ_FUEL_SCOOPS"; var found = "N/A"; if (!myShip...

Is the equipment list in shipyard.plist only applicable to the player-ship?

Given that the shipyard file defines ships that can be purchased by the player, yes, it's only applicable to player ships. You theoretically can't have a player ship without a shipyard.plist entry.

I found that .count is undefined but .length works. Should I edit the wiki or am I missing something?

Yep, looks like an oversight on my part. Please update the wiki when you get a chance.

Any possibility of your additional Escape Pods/Capsules/Lifeboats not playing well with ESCAPE POD SLAVE FIX by phkb? My take is that there would be no issue. EPSF will only be triggered if a ship launches an escape pod when there are zeros in both ship.crew[0].insuranceCredits and ship.crew[0].leg...

Version 0.16 has been released. In this version,  GNN has been made a requirement for the OXP, to reduce code duplication and OXP size.

Alas, I came across a post saying that Selezen had been against the idea of putting a beacon on the station.

Oh! Er... maybe I should make it an option switchable by the Library OXP?

After months of legal wrangling and political infighting, and a significant amount of bribes, the beacon has finally been enabled on the Graveyard station.

Version 2.5 is now available via the download manager.

I had a copy lying around. Here's a link: kestrel_falcon1_71_0.zip
