You're correct.. it is tremendously useful when aiming.  (and docking, btw!) I think even the Oolite Wiki recommends it for combat. In the next version of Oolite, things are going to get even better.. You'll be able to set a full joystick profile.. with variable deadzone settings, and two...

Hmm.. TAF ought not be available at all..  this would indicate that ptitSeb used the code for the Oolite "test" version rather than the "deployment" version.  The test version is only intended for use by developers and OXP authors.  TAF has been removed from the version intended for ordinary...

Ouch.. painful lesson..  I'll have a word with the devs, see if some kind of safeguards are possible against this..  good to hear that Smivs' OXPs are doing the job for you!

Has anyone tried Smivs' Shipset?  It retextures the core models, so doesn't mess with poly counts and vertices at all.  It also has the fun benefit of showing battle damage on your and the NPC ships. There has indeed been quite a bit of discussion about this, on the Oolite boards.  See, for...

The other neat thing about the multitargeting system is that you can use it to put missile locks on multiple targets at once, and then fire them all off one after the other.  See the Missile Tactics page for more info.

It might pay to post your workaround.. someone else is likely to run into the same problem at some point. Edit: ahh.. I see you did, back in your original post. As for the logs, in Linux, their normal location is in a hidden folder in the users 'home' folder.. ~/.Oolite/Logs  to be exact. ...

Can you replicate the problem if no OXPs are installed? (they can be temporarily disabled by creating a folder in AddOns called 'temp' or some other name that doesn't end in "OXP" and moving the OXPs into that folder)  If the problem disappears, try adding them back in one at a time and testing...

Sorry.. I missed this question before.  You can use the 'Enter' key to buy or sell the maximum amount of a commodity with one keypress.

Be warned.. once you do, it's a very slippery slope.  Before long, you'll find yourself tweaking your own and other peoples OXPs to make them work just the way you want, trying out a new idea, adding a feature, coming up with a new OXP, to the point where you'll find you spend far more time...

Not a problem, my friend.. you were gone from the boards for around 6 years, which is a lot of water under the bridge.. an incredible lot has changed and happened in that time, and a fresh batch of very big changes are not far off now.  Watching your reactions is giving me the same kind of buzz...

I think you need to be near a Lane or Region for it to show on the map, or maybe they stay there once you've come across them.. (sorry, I'm a bit unclear on some details.. haven't had much time to actually play the game the last few months)

Hmmm.. let's see if I can explain this simply.. :unsure: If the Liners OXP is installed, giant luxury Cruise Liners, some of them more than 4km long, will ply the 8 charts.  They follow well-defined routes through each chart, avoiding the more dangerous systems, because pirate attacks rather...

Since milinks is probably far too excited right now to wander by the Oolite BB, I'll pass this along for him. @ptitSeb:  One of the Oolite devs asked that this message be given to you:

Ok mate.. I'll bear that in mind. (Sorry, anyone who missed out.. but like I said, there are licencing problems with that font, so I've now disabled the link, as I shouldn't really distribute it at all, but it had to be tested on a Pandora, which I don't have.) I'll get stuck into producing a...

Thanks!  That's very encouraging news. And I'll probably need all the encouragement I can get.. from what I can gather, getting the kerning right is gonna be something of a headache.  Especially since I've never done this before.  (the sample you have is from someone else's very old work, which...

Unfortunately, the gamma control is it, and from what ptitSeb has said, the Pandora has no gamma capabilities. Ok.. a pity.. thanks for the report.  If you don't mind, just to humour me, could you try out this font OXP I just threw together?  It's highly unofficial, and I'm working on an...

A question here, just to clarify.. By 'lock', you mean the game freezes.. not just the 'mass-lock' which you are supposed to experience whenever a ship comes into scanner range, yes?

Oh, and the main reason for being able to deactivate your weapons, is to avoid accidentally firing on the station you're about to dock with.

You could see if the TTY Font OXP is more readable.. or there is a font in the Deepspace Ships OXP that could be extracted and used.  (It used to be available as a separate download, but the link is dead.  I might try to fix that.)  If not, it might be possible to create a new font image just...

For anyone here whose first language is not English, you may be interested to know that a number of language localisation packs are available for Oolite.  These are distributed in OXP format, and installed in the usual way.  Naturally, you should only install one. Oolite en Français is a French...
