Dammit.. you mean I missed a chance to check out what the Pyra will look like? Damn. Anyways, how've ya been, mate? Long time no see.

Hi all, it's been a while. Just popping in to give you a heads-up that the v1.86 development build of Oolite went into feature-freeze a few days ago.

Currently, there's CompactHUD, NumericHUD, the in-built "standard" and "small" HUDs, and it can manage any single custom HUD that uses the old "hud.plist" method.  I would expect that with time, more will be made compatible with it.  The HUD Selector was only created yesterday, in response to a...

CompactHUD is now on version 1.2. I've added more features, so it now shows Waypoints, Primed Equipment, a Joystick Precision Mode indicator, Fuel Scoop status, and the current ASC target, as well as two MFDs, a Non-linear Scanner and ultrazoom.  It has been made to require  the use of the new...

I mentioned the framerate problem with the NumericHUD to Norby, and this was his reply: Hopefully something there can help.

Oolite 1.80 does also still recognise the old-style OXPs.. just put them in the AddOns folder as usual.  You can also manually download OXZs and place them in AddOns.  Whilst the Expansion manager will recognise them, it marks them as manually installed, and won't offer to update them for you...

Latest versions of the NumericHud also include the non-linear scanner by default.. so even when you zoom in, you can still keep track of distant objects as well. (Though I'm not sure how well Norby's addition of 4 MFDs will look on the Pandora!)

Yep.. especially since, while I was updating the Wikipedia entry for Oolite, I added the Pandora to the list of platforms it runs on.. :D

Nonsense.. we know that, whilst not difficult, Oolite is rather more complex and involved than your average game, and can take some time to fully get the hang of. You are more than welcome to pop on over to the Oolite BB at any time to ask questions.. we love answering questions about our...

WOOHOO!! Oolite 1.80 has now been officially released! Announcing Oolite v1.80 A full list of changes and new features can be found at the above link. To go along with the new release, the official website has has an upgrade as well. Among other things it has a detailed "getting started"...

To access the training lessons, just start a new Commander, and you'll see it in the starting options.. once you've completed the course, you could return to your current Commander, if you wish.  That would probably be the fastest intro available.  And if you have questions afterwards, don't...

Something that may have some bearing, that you wouldn't be aware of if you haven't tried docking with the above object, (a Rock Hermit) is that it is rotating.. the view above is looking along the axis of rotation. Don't know if that has any bearing on your comment or not.

That's what I had in mind.. that the key references could be fixed to refer to the defaults set up on the Pandora..

The most recent PNDs (builds 8, 9 and 10) have been based on the almost-ready-to-be-released 1.80 version, which means there is now a built-in tutorial available (it's listed under the "Start New Commander" option of the Main Menu)  That may help, depending on just what's causing you...

Don't forget.. any time you have questions or need help, assistance is always just a click away..  (oh, and be sure to read the documentation.. there are lots of features you may not know about) ;) @ milinks:  That last screenshot looks great!  Far more readable.. good job, ptitSeb!

Well, ummm.. until ptitSeb managed to port Oolite to the Pandora a few weeks ago, it had never really been an issue, as even for someone playing at 800x600, they at least had a full-size monitor to read it off of.. and ptitSeb is still learning his way around the Oolite source, which currently...

Heh.. hopefully, edgepixel won't then need to have his tests run through once more.. or start over with his design work.. ;)

Re-posting a small exchange between myself and cim, from the Oolite boards.. Hopefully this will help considerably.

This may have possibilities, but OXPConfig will need updating to work with the legible-font OXP.  Nothing major, I suspect, but OXPConfig can only mess with OXPs it has permission and configuration settings for.  Some collaboration with the OXPConfig authors will be required. (And that's...
