Oolite Bulletins

Just finished reading - and enjoyed it immensely. Thanks Drew!

Not having a lot of time to program unfortunately at present, but if someone wants to volunteer I can provide the pieces and texture through Box to create the station with. I can probably pull the model shipdata for the single-ringed version of the Torus station out of the colonization files as well...

I might be able to help there, though this was intended for the Colonization oxp I was working on with with Okti that has fallen on the wayside. The Torus colony station uses Griff's textures.

I had a go myself at the Gnat a whiles back, thought it would make a nice little support fighter for the Galactic Navy



Your textures rock Griff!

*Laughing at the Comms shown on that system map*

So what does it mean when you get: Internal Error: badarith When you hit Continue -> Unrapping. I think that is usually that is due to there being a consecutive series of faces that form a loop that cannot be 'flattened' without some of the faces overlapping others. The unwrapper may leave out a fa...

Why does the 3D Model of it differ from the cartoon drawings so much? There are whole sections, and small parts on that model that are either shaped differently, or show something completely different from the model, to the cartoon. That model may have been based on a Comet from a comic or other me...

Whilst I don't doubt Mandoman's ability in recreating the Comet, perhaps this could save some time and hairpulling on his part, unless he really relishes the challenge

I'd be careful flying an Orion replica, as it could get mistaken for a Thargoid vessel. It might also get into trouble in systems inhabited with Frogs.

Maybe feline commanders like to keep the odd monkey as a pet.

Which brings up another closely related subject, on lobstoids. Humans walking into certain specialist lobstoid restaurants are often shocked at the monkeys kept in cages on open view, for the patrons there to select from for their meals.

Pledged! Good luck

Couple of possible station models done for the Galactic Navy... A naval depot http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_navy_depot.png and the Navy HQ (central docking hub can rotate in opposite direction, as requested :)) http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_navy_hq1....

Flasher sub-entities would remain spherical - though they could be recentred appropriately, and I suppose should be resized to ∛factor. Otherwise, I think it's possible. I'll have a look at it, anyway. Cool, that will open up a few possibilities for special FX. Thanks cim. :) Would a restoreSubenti...

Got a basic texturing style down which I'm reasonably happy with, and have started on finishing off on a small range of new ships, of which these are two: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_jackal_views.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_coyote_views2.png
