Release Oolite

[rohezal]

Does Lunixbochs still work on glshim? He said he tried to get some shaders to work, if specular mapping and maybe even bump mapping would work, it could improve the visuals of the game a lot.

I'm not sure most understand how much work is needed to have glshim compatible with OpenGL 2.0. First, ALL of the fixed pipeline function have to be ported to GLES2 (that means mainly writing a shader for each case, like mono-multi-texture, with/without lights, etc...) and than to write a convertor / simplifier for GLSL from OpenGL -> GLSL for GLES2. And that just the minimum to have something like Oolite running.

A very nice article, with a lot of information.

Speaking of that article, I may update the Oolite PND soon, look at the last picture I grabbed (no OXP here, just fresh compilation):

@PtitSeb - Those images look amazing it would be so cool to have those as standard for the oolite.PND (fingers crossed) thanks for all you're doing for this port

Well, my build of v1.79 seems OK. I'll soon update the PND on the repo (it's much bigger by the way, from 41Mo to 114Mo!).

I'm afraid you'll need to update your superb review soon

It's just come to my attention that Ctrl can normally be used with the movement keys for fine movement with the keyboard.   Since Ctrl+ D-pad was co-opted for cross-fingering of the shoulder buttons for Speed/Yaw on the pandora is there any chance of changing the fine movement key to Shift?

It's definately worth the extra download, and i can't think of a better reason for sorting the spelling mistakes out in the review, than to throw in loads of examples of the new features and eye-candy that would be available

Wow.. well done!  B)

 

[Diziet Sma]

Woohoo!  1.79 has gone into feature freeze!  1.80 is getting closer.. 

We are pleased to announce that as of today, June 15th 2014, we are entering the first stage of the release process for the new stable version of Oolite, tagged 1.80. The version numbers have been already switched on github and nightly builds are already reporting 1.80 as their version number.

As of today and until further notice, the source code of the project is on freeze state. This means that no more changes will be accepted in the actual game code, except from those that fix major gameplay or otherwise show-stopping bugs. Documentation updates can still be commited as required.

This first stage is scheduled to last approximately ten days to two weeks. This will give people who wish to help with testing the chance to do so. Testers, please report any bugs that you encounter, with a way to reproduce them if possible. Even if they are not major, we would still like to know about them. Any major bugs found may prolong the freeze period as their fixes get applied, but we do not expect significant deviations from the schedule.

Stable version 1.80 is planned for release at the end of this first preparatory stage, provided it is concluded successfully. Of course, there will be a new announcement when that time comes.

 

[ptitSeb]

The new build is on the repo. It's based on latest (from yesterday) source from the git, so v1.79 very near the feature freeze.

As already mentionned, the v1.79 is a huge step forward, and the first immediate effect is that Griffith Ship OXP are include in standard data files (so you can delete thoses OXP if you had them).

Enjoy the new functions (like the enhanced graphics, the sun that blind the view, the new tutorial, in-game OXP Manager, etc...)

Build 06

----------

• Updated to latest git source (v1.79)

I'll update the PND to v1.80 once it's published (or before if some bugs are found of course).

*EDIT* The OXZ Manager try to download in NAND I have to fix that, so expect a build 07 soon...

 

[ptitSeb]

I (hope) I fixed all NAND writting.

Also, the OXZ Manager couldn't download files because the folder was not created. So I create it and it works. Notes that OXZ and OXP are in different folder, so don't expect tto manage your previously installed OXP in-game...

Build 07
----------

• Fixed NAND writting
• Fixed OXZ Manager

 

[milinks]

This is amazing PtitSeb! thankyou Even running on a CC unit, with a swap file it runs so much faster than the original PND. One question, i dont knowif anyone else has come across this, is regarding the OXZ manager, in the 1.79 PC trunk version, the oxz manager screen is show as



Using the new updated 1.79 PND the oxz manager screen doesnt show any of the updates



Is this an error you mentioned with regards to the nand, or d i need to do anything to make this happen

 

[ptitSeb]

@miinks: I have a full list of OXZ on my side (something like 183). How the "update" goes? Any error message?

I'd like to see the log also (it's on appdata/oolite/home/.Oolite/Logs/

 

[Diziet Sma]

@ Milinks:  My guess is that first you have to use the "Update expansions list" option, to download the current list of OXZs.  Until then, Oolite has no idea what is available to download/install.  This is also how you check for updates to OXZs.  Update the list, then you get presented with the option to download any updates for the ones you have installed.

Just to make sure, ive re-installed the PND, run it, and gone through the proceedure step by step, both on the PC 1.79 trunk, (which works fine) and the Oolite.PND.

It still isn't showing up the updates no matter howmany times i update the lists etc. Hope the log helps.

Having a look into the created flder GNUstep/Library/Caches there is a folder called org.aegidian.oolite containing oolite-cache.plist which is 1.1mb in size..

edit: i also cleared the cache using the [shift] key to see if that would help, but no success.

Strange. In my logs, I don't have any "Exception" on NSTask...

Can you also have a look at /tmp/pndrun_oolite.out just in case (most of the time, it's empty, but who knows). I assume it may be some hidden lib dependancie on the download (like some glutls or something similar). I have to check what lib is loaded (in real time) when downloading something. But I will not be abble to check that before tonight I'm afraid.
