Oolite Bulletins

It is some kind of mega-city with apparently very geometric and precise architecture.

Oolite on LSD:



(Created by cranking up AgX saturation to beyond stupid level)

Thank you both guys. I am still not entirely happy with the excessive saturation AgX Punchy generates. It is evident in the images posted and much more so during gameplay. The parameters of the tone mapper are exactly as its spec states, but the result seems "just too much color, bro". The...

Following up on the discussion regarding SDR tone mappers here , I just wanted to let you know that a new and improved over ACES tone mapper is undergoing testsing and has been included in the latest pre-release build 033832b .

Maybe put a news item at oolite.space about this video?

Great... oh! Looks like there are still some "custom things" going on on the Linux version. I masked the bundled espeak libs, got the expected crash, did a "sudo apt install libespeak1", and got a different crash which hinted at intonation data path being hard-coded (with a doub...

The custom one is built to incorp...

Wondering: is it possible for voice output to reckognize it is taking too much time for the events coming in? It could then reduce the amount of words or messages but keep the ship maneuverable and the game playable. eSpeak is spinning separate threads for its purposes as required. Messages are sup...

No no, that's fine. I like the idea of discovering more of what's coming after finding the game from this video.

Wow. Loved it.

People watching this might think it is about a peaceful and relaxing game. Good. Let them think that...

Done. You can find the inclusion of ECM in the weapons that get toggled on/off in pre-release 1.91.0.7679-250703-49e991a.

Makes sense. I'll make the change shortly and you should be able to test a binary containing it later today.
