Oolite Bulletins

After completing a slave repatriation mission that required purchasing slaves from the market and turning them in through the bulletin board interface, the Market Observer OXP did not detect the removal of the slaves so it still shows ##x (the purchase price) on the F8 screen. This one is true for ...

is that specifically the thargoid type named warship?

Yes, as distinct from any other OXP-added Thargoid ship (although, so long as the OXP-added Thargoid vessel returns true for the "isThargoid" property and doesn't have the roles "tharglet", "thargon" or "EQ_THARGON" then it should still count)

The scanning isn't about local offences, it's an import of offences from elsewhere. I'm just suggesting that the import of external bounties should be limited once-per-exit-witchspace so if you pay the locals, they don't bother you again until you leave. Of course, they don't actually resolve your ...

Thanks for hammering these missions! I'll add the fixes as soon as I can.

Your dosh goes straight into the coffers of whichever crime family is running that particular system. Otherwise, things tend to go missing, spaceships get broken - if you get my drift. Or it might form another method of improving your standing/progress with a system, and therefore getting more perk...

If the black box does get destroyed, maybe update the mission status to reflect a failure, so it doesn’t leave the player searching aimlessly.

There should be some notification of that already, but I'll confirm.

I can certainly patch it, but at the moment I can't reproduce it. What were the conditions at the time? Where were you, and what was your target system?

You don't remember what ship/entity you were targeting when you tried to greet them/it, do you?

I found several emails about 500 Cr fines being applied, and I didn't notice any change in my credit balance (I think that's a potential bug). Bug in the Email System, fixed in next release. I suppose the 200 Cr fine and "attitude adjustment" was done by the core game because a cop flagged me to pa...

Strangely, several of the thargoids sent comms messages in perfect English: That's certainly weird, but it's not coming from GalCop missions. I suspect another Thargoid ship pack has added thargoid ship roles to one of the "pirate" roles, which would then put thargoid warships into "pirate" mode. A...

Those two points in the code are where I would expect that sort of thing to happen. The first one is a calculation, the second is the HUD switch point. I've put some improvements into the code to hopefully mitigate the first one. The second one, though, is tougher. The issue appears to be relating t...

I wonder if phbk is mantaining this OXP too?

Well, I don't know about phbk, but phkb is! I seem to be maintaining a lot of OXP's at the moment...

I'll add it to my (ever-lengthening) list.

this.shipWillLaunchFromStation = function() { this._setupRadarCheck(); } this.shipDied = this.shipWillDockWithStation = function() { this._stopFCB(); } this._stopFCB = function _stopFCB() { if (isValidFrameCallback(this.$fcb)) stopFrameCallback(this.$fcb); } this._setupRadarCheck = function _setupR...

That's a lot to chew through! Thanks for putting so much thought into this. After I digest it all I'll get a new release out.

The trouble is, in all my testing, the shipDied event is too late. I tried the code you suggested, launched from the station with an escape pod, and then deliberately ran into the nav buoy. Game over. All the debug events show up in the log, but nothing happened. The abandonShip call fails to eject ...
