Oolite Bulletins

Hi, I'm trying to add some engine heat effect through shaders to my ships. I have been following Griff and Ahruman's examples but I'm unable to understand how they work and i've failed. Should 3D models be normal mapped for the shaders to work? I thought they don't but now I've doubts about that. Pr...

Okay...........what? :lol: ...

Go for it. I probably don't like them much, because I couldn't figure them out.

Then, we are in the same, er...... spaceship

Anyway, I have to learn it before 22 Dec or forget it until the end of the world, which as a matter of fact would be that precise date.

It's a long thread but full of hints, tips and code fragments: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.ph ... &start=330 PS - Nice ship! (It's got wings too so is it a planetary ship?) Many Thankx for the link. I've installed Planetfall from the beginning. So i would rather like an Ooniverse were tra...

As both previous ships, Yasen-N and skat, it's a fast transport ship. 220 Tons and 0.390 will be its main features. I'...

Yes, but do you like it? That's the real question.

Pretty much

Wow!! You have a bizarre sense of modelling. It must be fun trying a pirate-run on these one. At least a bunch of pirates would made it.

Which ship is it?

They're Yasen-N and Skat in a single OXP called RL 1.0. It's a first version for testing purposes.

The faster you go, the more to the back the laser moves.

That's the answer to some mishaps I had while adjusting views. Anyway, I'd like to fix them before a full release.

The first release it's ready for testing purposes. I still have some problems with port and starboard views. Don't get upset if u see laser firing not really aligned with view middle. :oops: http://www.box.com/s/qxs6yxnofavvtupsc9r6 I would like to ask the guild of test pilots for their special abil...

Many Thanx, I'm still far to be happy with them but I couldn't wait much longer to release a beta version for testing purposes.

I've tried the three but they don't convert. :cry: The cat_body.mtl file show a material's count of 2, I still believe this won´t work with the script. The other two mtl files didn't work either: # Blender MTL File: 'python_class_cruiser.blend' # Material Count: 1 nnewmtl _griff_constrictor_eng Ns 0...

Generally Blender doesn't have a problem with that

The problem wasn't Blender. I believe it's the Obj2DatTex.py whose is not able to convert obj+mtl files with more than 1 texture file packed but i'm not really sure about that because i'm not programer.

whats going wrong and how can I fix it?

I believe the problem it's, somehow, there're more than 1 image file packed into the mtl file.
