i'm not following? or are my eyes failing - PURG should only be in comment lines?

Latest Cobra model from Isis Interstellar.

Just looking to streamline/tidy up ~ are all the "has_" entries deletable for the Player entry? They seem sensible for the random NPC generation but pointless for a Player. same for "Missiles".

any others that can be dropped?


TIA

nothing to apologise for, was just momentarily flustered that my new Cobra wouldn't have a home

it is the aegidian one, never changed it since i first started coming here. i'll update it now. still odd that it's suddenly started

clearing cache is obviously a solution, but it's just that the site's never done it before, and it's from yonks ago, so i've no idea why it's just started doing it now.

Any reason why the site gives me a "well fk" message from Feb 2024 and hangs for multiple auto-refreshes before firing up?

just in case it hasn't been mentioned, if anyone wants asteroids there's a "rock generator" addon build into Blender, can spawn any number of rocks w/ all sorts of random attribute features.

Hopefully this works! Thy eminence! Just poking around in the entrails of this OXP. I notice that the planetinfo.plist features Zaonce (0,129) rather than Cebior (1,195)! { "0 129" = { "script_actions" = ( "checkForShips: KWii", { conditions = ("shipsFound_number ...

Interesting idea.

If the dock is intended to be used by freighters it should be a bit wider. Yes actually there was the request to dock outside.

Why a moving wall so close to the dock? What is it's purpose?

cos it looked cool at the time.

BTW, I tried to document what I understood from the docking procedure. https://ooliteproject.github.io/oolite/interfaceDockEntity.html#a55e38446a4ebccf45cffe9857e24f59c What do the magic numbers 10000, 5000, 12500 etc mean? are they not the relevant distances, as per algorithm note 3? so if it's 10...

i think it's possible you could get an NPC to dock at the Nuit struts, for eye candy; patrolAIs etc seem to direct a ship to a point and i see there's a "gotowaypointAI" - possibly we could specify a point at the end of the dock arm and have a ship fly there? aligning it logically is, i'd ...

having been blatted by exiting ships on occasion i can confirm very bad timing can sometimes end if your destruction - i've been metres from approach when a Viper materialised and i blew up a microsecond later. i think we need more details about this Hathor incident.
