==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

==Notable pilots==

===Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV (rank: deadly)===
[[Image:pitviper_firewizard_001_400x268.png|thumb|250px|right|The Pitviper Firewizard commanded by Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV]]
:Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV, a black furry feline from Diso, commands the Pitviper "Firewizard". Maxwall himself claims to be a tomcat of independent means who became rich at the 4D-roulette tables while others insist he became rich by smuggling firearms, medicines and even dissidents for the rebels on Leleer during the last civil war on this planet. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler as well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Fishhead may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethical standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.

===Filgafel Saramant the younger (rank: harmless)===
[[Image:Pitviper_shining_star_of_atriso_400x268.png|thumb|250px|right|The Pitviper Shining Star of Atriso commanded by Filgafel Saramant the younger]]
:Filgafel Saramant the Younger, oldest and only son of Filgafel Saramant the Elder, despot of Atriso, commands the Pitviper Beast "Shining Star of Atriso". Well, in fact he does not really "command" her. To say he tortures her through open space describes much better what he does. Filgafel is an absolutely inept pilot. But that does not matter much since he is the son of the despot and thus always has more than enough escortships with him that keep the spacelanes clear. Because money is no object for him, he can afford to be a bit gonzo: The entire vessel has a coating in a traditional weave pattern made from the finest furs of the Tibionisian deadly goat. Weird, isn´t it?

==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

[[Image:pitviper_firewizard_001_400x268.png|thumb|250px|right|The Pitviper Firewizard commanded by Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV]]
:Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV, a black furry feline from Diso, commands the Pitviper "Firewizard". Maxwall himself claims to be a tomcat of independent means who became rich at the 4D-roulette tables while others insist he became rich by smuggling firearms, medicines and even dissidents for the rebels on Leleer during the last civil war on this planet. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler as well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Fishhead may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethical standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.

===Filgafel Saramant the younger (rank: harmless)===
[[Image:Pitviper_shining_star_of_atriso_400x268.png|thumb|250px|right|The Pitviper Shining Star of Atriso commanded by Filgafel Saramant the younger]]
:Filgafel Saramant the Younger, oldest and only son of Filgafel Saramant the Elder, despot of Atriso, commands the Pitviper Beast "Shining Star of Atriso". Well, in fact he does not really "command" her. To say he tortures her through open space describes much better what he does. Filgafel is an absolutely inept pilot. But that does not matter much since he is the son of the despot and thus always has more than enough escortships with him that keep the spacelanes clear. Because money is no object for him, he can afford to be a bit gonzo: The entire vessel has a coating in a traditional weave pattern made from the finest furs of the Tibionisian deadly goat. Weird, isn´t it?

==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

==Notable pilots==

==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

==Notable pilots==
===Diziet Sma===

===Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV (rank: deadly)===
[[Image:pitviper_firewizard_001_400x268.png|thumb|250px|right|The Pitviper Firewizard commanded by Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV]]
:Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV, a black furry feline from Diso, commands the Pitviper "Firewizard". Maxwall himself claims to be a tomcat of independent means who became rich at the 4D-roulette tables while others insist he became rich by smuggling firearms, medicines and even dissidents for the rebels on Leleer during the last civil war on this planet. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler as well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Fishhead may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethical standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>

===Filgafel Saramant the younger (rank: harmless)===
[[Image:Pitviper_shining_star_of_atriso_400x268.png|thumb|250px|right|The Pitviper Shining Star of Atriso commanded by Filgafel Saramant the younger]]
:Filgafel Saramant the Younger, oldest and only son of Filgafel Saramant the Elder, despot of Atriso, commands the Pitviper Beast "Shining Star of Atriso". Well, in fact he does not really "command" her. To say he tortures her through open space describes much better what he does. Filgafel is an absolutely inept pilot. But that does not matter much since he is the son of the despot and thus always has more than enough escortships with him that keep the spacelanes clear. Because money is no object for him, he can afford to be a bit gonzo: The entire vessel has a coating in a traditional weave pattern made from the finest furs of the Tibionisian deadly goat. Weird, isn´t it?

The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

:Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV, a black furry feline from Diso, commands the Pitviper "Firewizard". Maxwall himself claims to be a tomcat of independent means who became rich at the 4D-roulette tables while others insist he became rich by smuggling firearms, medicines and even dissidents for the rebels on Leleer during the last civil war on this planet. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler as well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Fishhead may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethical standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.

:Filgafel Saramant the Younger, oldest and only son of Filgafel Saramant the Elder, despot of Atriso, commands the Pitviper Beast "Shining Star of Atriso". Well, in fact he does not really "command" her. To say he tortures her through open space describes much better what he does. Filgafel is an absolutely inept pilot. But that does not matter much since he is the son of the despot and thus always has more than enough escortships with him that keep the spacelanes clear. Because money is no object for him, he can afford to be a bit gonzo: The entire vessel has a coating in a traditional weave pattern made from the finest furs of the Tibionisian deadly goat. Weird, isn´t it?

==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

Well, in fact he does not really "command" her. To say he tortures her through open space describes much better what he does. Filgafel is an absolutely inept pilot. But that does not matter much since he is the son of the despot and thus always has more than enough escortships with him that keep the spacelanes clear. Because money is no object for him, he can afford to be a bit gonzo: The entire vessel has a coating in a traditional weave pattern made from the finest furs of the Tibionisian deadly goat. Weird, isn´t it?

==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

==Notable pilots==

:Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV, a black furry feline from Diso, commands the Pitviper "Firewizard". Maxwall himself claims to be a tomcat of independent means who became rich at the 4D-roulette tables while others insist he became rich by smuggling firearms, medicines and even dissidents for the rebels on Leleer during the last civil war on this planet. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler as well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Fishhead may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethical standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.

Diziet Sma: /* Changing Key Assignments */

== Default Key Assignments ==

Key assignments are stored in the file <code>keyconfig.plist</code>. This file, by default, is in the following location:
* Linux: <code>/usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/oolite.app/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist</code>
* Windows: <code>C:\Oolite\oolite.app\Resources\Config\keyconfig.plist</code> - ''(was C:\Program Files\Oolite\... before 1.73.x)''
* Mac OS-X: In “Extras” folder, or in <code>Oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist</code>

++'''Please Note''': All characters in capitals are shift + character, i.e. R = shift + r.++

++'''Additional''': the column labelled BBC, refers to the alternate BBC keyboard controls.++

== Debugging Keys ==

The following keys only work while you have paused the game by pressing '''p'''. Most of them will dump debug-messages to Oolite's logfile. This is highly useful for debugging OXPs or helping to debug Oolite.

== Changing Key Assignments ==

If you want to change key assignments ''don't'' alter the default file. Instead, create a 'Config' folder in your local AddOns folder, and copy <code>keyconfig.plist</code> into it, then edit the copy:
* Linux: <code>~/.Oolite/AddOns</code>
* Windows (except Vista): <code>C:\Program Files\Oolite\AddOns</code>
* Windows Vista: <code>C:\Oolite\AddOns</code>
* Mac OS-X: <code>~/Library/Application Support/Oolite/AddOns</code>

You can edit <code>keyconfig.plist</code> with any standard text editor. In Oolite 1.65 and earlier, keys are specified as key codes. You'll find a list of Linux keycodes [http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hlkeycodes.html here]. Note that Oolite uses ''decimal'' values whereas most keycodes are expressed in ''hexadecimal''. This can cause confusion. For example the comma key produces a keycode of 2C (hex) which translates to 44 (decimal), whereas keycode 44 (hex) refers to the uppercase "D" key, which is actually 68 (decimal)! (If you don't have a hex/decimal calculator handy try [http://www.lookuptables.com/ this table] or [http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/color/hexcalc.htm this online converter].)

In current test releases, key assignments can be specified as text instead.

If you can't be bothered with manual editing try [[Keyconfig]] - a small helper for creating your personal keymapping for Oolite 1.76+.

== Numeric Keypads ==

Oolite does not make use of the numeric keypad. This ensures the game is playable on laptops. However, since some players may wish to make use of it, here are the keycodes for all the numeric pad keys.

== Classic Elite keyboard controls ==

In the original BBC version, you could control your ship with the following controls: S and X to dive and climb; < and > (well "," and ".") to roll left and right; and A to fire the lasers.

Here are a couple of download links to grab the keyconfig.plist file that you need to change the keys.

* [http://svn.berlios.de/viewvc/oolite-linux/trunk/tools/BBC%20keys/keyconfig.plist?view=log Classic Elite keyboard config] hosted on Berlios.

* [https://www.box.com/s/wa19flt29azdqx0lslvl Classic Elite keyboard config] alternative hosting on Box.com. Includes a Readme with installation Instructions and a list of the keys.

Download one of these files, put it into a Config folder, and put that in your AddOns folder.

== Silly Keyboard Tricks ==

* Change <code> key_launch_missile </code> to 112. Now you'll need to hit "p" to launch a missile - which also pauses the game. You'll sometimes get a nice snapshot of the departing missile!

== Changing Key Assignments ==

If you want to change key assignments ''don't'' alter the default file. Instead copy <code>keyconfig.plist</code> into your local AddOns directory, then edit the copy:
* Linux: <code>~/.Oolite/AddOns</code>
* Windows (except Vista): <code>C:\Program Files\Oolite\AddOns</code>
* Windows Vista: <code>C:\Oolite\AddOns</code>
* Mac OS-X: <code>~/Library/Application Support/Oolite/AddOns</code>

You can edit <code>keyconfig.plist</code> with any standard text editor. In Oolite 1.65 and earlier, keys are specified as key codes. You'll find a list of Linux keycodes [http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hlkeycodes.html here]. Note that Oolite uses ''decimal'' values whereas most keycodes are expressed in ''hexadecimal''. This can cause confusion. For example the comma key produces a keycode of 2C (hex) which translates to 44 (decimal), whereas keycode 44 (hex) refers to the uppercase "D" key, which is actually 68 (decimal)! (If you don't have a hex/decimal calculator handy try [http://www.lookuptables.com/ this table] or [http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/color/hexcalc.htm this online converter].)

In current test releases, key assignments can be specified as text instead.

If you can't be bothered with manual editing try [[Keyconfig]] - a small helper for creating your personal keymapping for Oolite 1.76+.

== Numeric Keypads ==

Oolite does not make use of the numeric keypad. This ensures the game is playable on laptops. However, since some players may wish to make use of it, here are the keycodes for all the numeric pad keys.

== Classic Elite keyboard controls ==

In the original BBC version, you could control your ship with the following controls: S and X to dive and climb; < and > (well "," and ".") to roll left and right; and A to fire the lasers.

Here are a couple of download links to grab the keyconfig.plist file that you need to change the keys.

* [http://svn.berlios.de/viewvc/oolite-linux/trunk/tools/BBC%20keys/keyconfig.plist?view=log Classic Elite keyboard config] hosted on Berlios.

* [https://www.box.com/s/wa19flt29azdqx0lslvl Classic Elite keyboard config] alternative hosting on Box.com. Includes a Readme with installation Instructions and a list of the keys.

Download one of these files, put it into a Config folder, and put that in your AddOns folder.

== Silly Keyboard Tricks ==

* Change <code> key_launch_missile </code> to 112. Now you'll need to hit "p" to launch a missile - which also pauses the game. You'll sometimes get a nice snapshot of the departing missile!

Diziet Sma: Added Numeric Pad codes

== Default Key Assignments ==

Key assignments are stored in the file <code>keyconfig.plist</code>. This file, by default, is in the following location:
* Linux: <code>/usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/oolite.app/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist</code>
* Windows: <code>C:\Oolite\oolite.app\Resources\Config\keyconfig.plist</code> - ''(was C:\Program Files\Oolite\... before 1.73.x)''
* Mac OS-X: In “Extras” folder, or in <code>Oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist</code>

++'''Please Note''': All characters in capitals are shift + character, i.e. R = shift + r.++

++'''Additional''': the column labelled BBC, refers to the alternate BBC keyboard controls.++

Frontier

2015-10-19T15:28:03Z

Diziet Sma:

{{Infobox CVG| title = Frontier: Elite 2
|image = [[Image: FE2_small.jpg]]
|developer = [[David Braben]]|
|publisher = [[Gametek]]
|version = 1.06 (Shareware)|
|released = September 1993 |
|platforms = PC, ST, Amiga
}}

Frontier was the first sequel to the [[classic Elite]] game. Its full title was Frontier: Elite 2. It was developed by the fledgling [[Frontier Developments]] company founded by co-author of the original Elite game [[David Braben]]. It was published by [[Gametek]] in 1993, and made available for most popular systems of the time, including IBM Compatibles, Amiga and Atari ST. The game box came packed with goodies, including a huge manual, a [[Gazetteer]], a book of short stories and a poster depicting the Core Systems.

Frontier expanded the universe of Elite to encompass the entire galaxy, with one of the main selling points being the fact that the creators had accurately mapped our galaxy. Frontier also introduced a fully accurate [[Newtonian modelling|Newtonian flight model]] instead of the usual reactive flight model used in games until that point, adding a new level of realism.

Many rumours abounded following the release of the game that Frontier was never intended to be a sequel to Elite, and was simply written as a new space simulation. The rumour states that someone suggested tacking the Elite ships onto the game, and the decision was eventually made to include the popular elements from Elite into the game, including Lave and the surrounding systems and the ships from the older game. This, although never confirmed to this author's knowledge, does explain why there are very few other elements of Elite present in the game other than the most well known systems and the ships.

In Frontier, the political environment changed considerably from Elite. The Galactic Co-operative of Worlds was no more, and instead there were two opposing factions: the Federation based on Earth and the [[Empire]] based in the Achenar system. There was no sign of the Thargoids, and a real time system was used for the first time, setting Frontier in 3200.

The gameplay was considerably tweaked. Frontier still retained the generally open-ended style, where the player could take control of their own destiny, but additional elements were introduced. The player could now undertake missions of many types ranging from delivering packages to assassinating fellow pilots. Military missions for both Federation and Empire were also included.

Pilots could, for the first time, fly in the atmosphere of a planet, and could even land at a planetside starport. Those with the required piloting skills (and patience) could land anywhere on a planet, and even drop a mining rig when they got there!

The choice of ships was also greatly improved - most of the ships from the original Elite made an appearance (apart from the imposing [[Fer-de-Lance (Classic)|Fer-de-Lance]]) and were joined by another whole fleet of ships from the humble [[Eagle Long Range Fighter Mk 1|Eagle Mk I]] (the starting ship) to the mighty [[Imperial Courier]].

Frontier's control system is the aspect of the game that garners most debate. Many feel that the Newtonian physics detract from the gameplay and make combat almost unbearable. Others claim that the physics enhance the game and turn it into a hybrid of fun game and simulator.

Frontier was also plagued with bugs and quirks due to an alleged rushed release. The tale goes that Frontier Developments were not ready to release the game but Gametek forced the issue, stating that the project had been delayed long enough. As a result, many features that were to be implemented were half finished, and the game was unstable. A series of patches were released that repaired most of these errors. Those who have hacked into the code for the game have reported that there are a great many tags and references in the code for other equipment and game elements, including cloaking devices and Thargoids. This mess resulted in a long series of legal issues that were only resolved in 1999.

Frontier Developments released a shareware version of the game to the legions of fans through the [http://www.eliteclub.co.uk| Elite Club] website. This version includes all the post-release patches and removes the copy protection schema, although Frontier Developments have neglected to complete the alleged missing code and there remain a number of now well known bugs. Also available is [[GLFrontier]], a reverse-engineered version of FE2 that allows OpenGL rendering.

In summary, Frontier was a playable and fun game, but missed out on truly legendary status through several complaints, amongst them being the bug-ridden beginnings and the troublesome control system. It has, however, gained a faithful and vociferous following of its own with many people still playing the game over a decade after its release, as well as creating [[Frontier Fiction|fan fiction]] set in the Frontier universe.

Quirium Cascade Mine Detector

2015-10-17T01:59:06Z

Diziet Sma: /* Availability */

{{Infobox EquipStats Oolite| title = Quirium Cascade Mine Detector
|image =
|equipName = Q-Bomb Detector
|equipCost = 5000
|equipTL = 10
}}
===Overview===

This [[OXP]] adds the equipment: Q-Bomb Detector. This detector reacts on detecting a Quirium Cascade Mine in the vicinity and sounds an alarm, as well as alerting the pilot on-screen. It extends the functionality of the ship's scanner, which displays the location of Q-Mines, but doesn't actively warn the player.

It is up to the player to react appropriately on receiving this information.

Minimum requirement Oolite 1.73

===Why this equipment===
A Quirium Cascade Mine generally detonates within about 5 seconds of being launched. If a pilot does not react immediately, it may be too late. In intense combat situations, it is very easy to miss seeing the marker on what is often a crowded scanner. It was determined that a loud audible warning was the most effective method of ensuring a pilot's attention.

===Usage===
The equipment is fully automatic. No operator input is required.

If you hear the siren, vacate the area. Immediately. As rapidly as possible.

Particularly brave Commanders may wish to try destroying the Q-Bomb instead. To facilitate this, when the ship also has a Target Memory Expansion installed, the QBD is connected with it on installation and when a Q-Bomb is detected, it will upload the location of the Q-Bomb to the first position in the target memory, whereupon the location of the Q-Bomb will immediately be displayed on the ship's HUD.

===Availability===
This equipment can be purchased in all high-technical-level systems (10+) for the sum of 5000 Cr.

===Disclaimer===
The manufacturer of the QBD will never guarantee the QBD is always 100% correct. Because some pilots may have made modifications to the mine or manufacturers could have changed mine specifications that are not yet in the database, analyses by the QBD could result in false positives, or failures to alert in a timely fashion.

Joystick problems (Linux)

2015-10-01T03:39:15Z

Diziet Sma: /* Other Problems */

== Overview ==

Generally speaking, Linux is quite good with joystick detection and support, but sometimes things can go wrong. Failing to detect a joystick at all is fairly uncommon, and most reported problems revolve around button detection/assignment, and/or axis range. This article provides explanations and solutions for the various joystick-related problems that have been encountered in Oolite Linux.

== Joystick Detection Problems ==

Whilst not Oolite-specific, since [http://www.x.org/wiki/ X.Org] started using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev evdev] driver, the default settings for ''evdev joystick'' can cause the joystick to be seen as a mouse and keyboard also. This can be solved by installing the ''xf86-input-joystick'' package, then, '''as root''', creating a ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf-d/50-joystick.conf'' file, with the following content:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "joystick catchall"
MatchIsJoystick "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "joystick"
Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False" #Disable joystick keyboard emulation
Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False" #Disable joystick mouse emulation
EndSection

The ''StartKeysEnabled'' and ''StartMouseEnabled'' options are the ones that change the default behaviour, the rest are X defaults for the joystick driver.

== Sensitivity Problems ==

Prior to Oolite v1.80, deadzone and responsiveness issues in Oolite Linux could only be solved [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=178651#p178651 by making use of the ''jscal'', ''jstest'' and ''jstest-gtk'' utilities], but Oolite now has built-in joystick configuration and tuning software, which can solve these problems. A tutorial on how to set up and tune your joystick can be found [[Dizzy%27s_guide_to_Setting_up_Joystick_Axis_Profiles_in_Oolite_1.80|here]].

== Button Detection & Axis Range Problems ==

For unknown reasons, it appears that sometimes SDL ([https://www.libsdl.org/ Simple DirectMedia Layer]) takes raw input from the evdev device drivers, instead of using the correct joystick device. By adding the appropriate environment variable to either the ''/etc/environment'' file, or the ''.bashrc'' startup script, you can force SDL to use the "real" joystick driver for input.

[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables Officially speaking], ''/etc/environment'' is the correct place for system-wide environment variables. To add the environment variable to the ''/etc/environment'' file, '''as root''', open ''/etc/environment'' in your text editor, add the following (on a new line) to the file, and save:

SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE="/dev/input/js0"

For the change to 'take', you then need to log out and back in again. Rebooting is unnecessary.

If you prefer changing the ''.bashrc'' startup script instead, you should add the above line to ''.bashrc'' in your ''Home'' folder. As the dot in front of the filename indicates, this is a hidden file, so you may need to set the view in your file browser to "Show Hidden Files" before it will become visible. Once done, save the file and log out, then back in.

Although rare, it sometimes happens that a joystick is assigned a device number other than 'js0'. If the above fails to work for you, this is the most likely reason.

Using your Software Manager, install the ''jstest-gtk'' package. Launch the ''jstest-gtk'' gui (it will probably be located in the System Menu under "Administration") and, underneath the name of your joystick, it will list the device details, such as "Device:/dev/input/js1". You can now edit ''/etc/environment'' or ''.bashrc'' to reflect the correct device number, save, log out and in again, after which Oolite should correctly identify your joystick, and allow you to configure it the way you want.

== Other Problems ==

Should you require further guidance in creating or editing the above files, or the methods given above fail to resolve, or don't address your particular problem, please don't hesitate to post a thread detailing the issue, and your attempts to fix it, to the [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewforum.php?f=9 Oolite-Linux forum]. The forum has several Linux gurus available, who would be more than happy to assist.

Whilst not Oolite-specific, since xorg started using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev evdev] driver, the default settings for ''evdev joystick'' can cause the joystick to be seen as a mouse and keyboard also. This can be solved by installing the ''xf86-input-joystick'' package, then, '''as root''', creating a ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf-d/50-joystick.conf'' file, with the following content:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "joystick catchall"
MatchIsJoystick "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "joystick"
Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False" #Disable joystick keyboard emulation
Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False" #Disable joystick mouse emulation
EndSection

The ''StartKeysEnabled'' and ''StartMouseEnabled'' options are the ones that change the default behaviour, the rest are X defaults for the joystick driver.

== Sensitivity Problems ==

Prior to Oolite v1.80, deadzone and responsiveness issues in Oolite Linux could only be solved [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=178651#p178651 by making use of the ''jscal'', ''jstest'' and ''jstest-gtk'' utilities], but Oolite now has built-in joystick configuration and tuning software, which can solve these problems. A tutorial on how to set up and tune your joystick can be found [[Dizzy%27s_guide_to_Setting_up_Joystick_Axis_Profiles_in_Oolite_1.80|here]].

== Button Detection & Axis Range Problems ==

For unknown reasons, it appears that sometimes SDL ([https://www.libsdl.org/ Simple DirectMedia Layer]) takes raw input from the evdev device drivers, instead of using the correct joystick device. By adding the appropriate environment variable to either the ''/etc/environment'' file, or the ''.bashrc'' startup script, you can force SDL to use the "real" joystick driver for input.

[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables Officially speaking], ''/etc/environment'' is the correct place for system-wide environment variables. To add the environment variable to the ''/etc/environment'' file, '''as root''', open ''/etc/environment'' in your text editor, add the following (on a new line) to the file, and save:

SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE="/dev/input/js0"

For the change to 'take', you then need to log out and back in again. Rebooting is unnecessary.

If you prefer changing the ''.bashrc'' startup script instead, you should add the above line to ''.bashrc'' in your ''Home'' folder. As the dot in front of the filename indicates, this is a hidden file, so you may need to set the view in your file browser to "Show Hidden Files" before it will become visible. Once done, save the file and log out, then back in.

Although rare, it sometimes happens that a joystick is assigned a device number other than 'js0'. If the above fails to work for you, this is the most likely reason.

Using your Software Manager, install the ''jstest-gtk'' package. Launch the ''jstest-gtk'' gui (it will probably be located in the System Menu under "Administration") and, underneath the name of your joystick, it will list the device details, such as "Device:/dev/input/js1". You can now edit ''/etc/environment'' or ''.bashrc'' to reflect the correct device number, save, log out and in again, after which Oolite should correctly identify your joystick, and allow you to configure it the way you want.

== Other Problems ==

Should you require further guidance in creating or editing the above files, or the methods given above fail to resolve, or don't address your particular problem, please don't hesitate to post a thread detailing the issue, and your attempts to fix it, to the [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewforum.php?f=9 Oolite-Linux forum].

Talk:Joystick problems (Linux)

2015-10-01T03:29:42Z

Diziet Sma:

While not oolite-specific, another common linux joystick problem :

Since xorg started using evdev driver (around xorg-server 1.12 iirc) , default settings for evdev joystick caused it to be seen as a mouse and keyboard also.
This can be solved by installing xf86-input-joystick package, then adding /etc/X11/xorg.conf-d/50-joystick.conf with this content :

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "joystick catchall"
MatchIsJoystick "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "joystick"
Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"
Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"
EndSection

The StartKeysEnabled and StartMouseEnabled options are the ones that change that behaviour, rest is X defaults for joystick driver.

----

Thanks for the above. I've added this to the page.

Prior to Oolite v1.80, deadzone and responsiveness issues in Oolite Linux could only be solved [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=178651#p178651 by making use of the ''jscal'', ''jstest'' and ''jstest-gtk'' utilities], but Oolite now has built-in joystick configuration and tuning software, which can solve these problems.

For unknown reasons, it appears that sometimes SDL ([https://www.libsdl.org/ Simple DirectMedia Layer]) takes raw input from the evdev device drivers, instead of using the correct joystick device. By adding the appropriate environment variable to either the ''/etc/environment'' file, or the ''.bashrc'' startup script, you can force SDL to use the "real" joystick driver for input.

[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables Officially speaking], ''/etc/environment'' is the correct place for system-wide environment variables. To add the environment variable to the ''/etc/environment'' file, '''as root''', open ''/etc/environment'' in your favourite text editor, add the following (on a new line) to the file, and save:

SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE="/dev/input/js0"

For the change to 'take', you then need to log out and back in again. Rebooting is unnecessary.

If you prefer changing the ''.bashrc'' startup script instead (since it doesn't require root access to do so), you should add the above line to ''.bashrc'' in your ''Home'' folder. As the dot in front of the filename indicates, this is a hidden file, so you may need to set the view in your file browser to "Show Hidden Files" before it will become visible. Once done, save the file and log out, then back in.

Although rare, it sometimes happens that a joystick is assigned a device number other than 'js0'. If the above fails to work for you, this is the most likely reason.

Using your Software Manager, install the ''jstest-gtk'' package. Launch the ''jstest-gtk'' gui (it will probably be located in the System Menu under "Administration") and, underneath the name of your joystick, it will list the device details, such as "Device:/dev/input/js1". You can now edit ''/etc/environment'' or ''.bashrc'' to reflect the correct device number, save, log out and in again, after which Oolite should correctly identify your joystick, and allow you to configure it the way you want.

== Other Problems ==

Should you require further guidance in creating or editing the above files, or the methods given above fail to resolve, or don't address your particular problem, please don't hesitate to post a thread detailing the issue, and your attempts to fix it, to the [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewforum.php?f=9 Oolite-Linux forum].

Joystick problems (Linux)

2015-10-01T03:19:37Z

Diziet Sma: /* Button Detection & Range Problems */

== Overview ==

Generally speaking, Linux is quite good with joystick detection and support, but sometimes things can go wrong. Failing to detect a joystick at all is fairly uncommon, and most reported problems revolve around button detection/assignment, and/or axis range. This article provides explanations and solutions for the various joystick-related problems that have been encountered in Oolite Linux.

== Joystick Detection Problems ==

Whilst not Oolite-specific, since xorg started using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev evdev] driver, the default settings for ''evdev joystick'' can cause the joystick to be seen as a mouse and keyboard also. This can be solved by installing the ''xf86-input-joystick'' package, then, '''as root''', creating a ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf-d/50-joystick.conf'' file, with the following content:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "joystick catchall"
MatchIsJoystick "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "joystick"
Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False" #Disable keyboard support
Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False" #Disable mouse support
EndSection

The ''StartKeysEnabled'' and ''StartMouseEnabled'' options are the ones that change the default behaviour, the rest are X defaults for the joystick driver.

== Sensitivity Problems ==

Prior to Oolite v1.80, deadzone and responsiveness issues in Oolite Linux could only be solved [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=178651#p178651 by making use of the ''jscal'', ''jstest'' and ''jstest-gtk'' utilities], but Oolite now has built-in joystick configuration and tuning software, which can solve these problems.
