Re: KeeperSky (smaller background stars, adjustable space dust, sun distance, etc. for 1.81+)

This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. I've modded my starfield on my own, but this takes it another step in what I see as the right direction. I can see that you're very open with how you made this, but I don't want to assume: May I take some of what you've done here and integrate into an...

Re: Espeak voice

BTW, I can confirm that Oolite is portable (directory-contained) on Windows 7.

Re: BGS - The BackgroundSet

I have an older joystick with a twitchy throttle, so I experience this as well. I ended up just using the keyboard for throttle, partly because of the constant "wooshing." In the middle of firefights, I still end up reaching for that dang throttle anyway.

Re: Modifying the Computer Voice

Poking around a bit with eSpeak, and this looks both doable and a bit of a time sink, but if it isn't too consuming I should be able to get a result I like. I'm wondering: is there a way to alter the volume of the voice in-game, and would it possible to at tell Oolite to use a different voice? With ...

Re: Modifying the Computer Voice

Thanks for the resource, thread! I would also like to note that OXPs like Halsis etc are nice, have usually higher quality voices than the built-in ones, with one huge difference though: The OXP voice packs are set to announce a pre-defined number of messages like "Incoming missile", "...

Re: BGS - The BackgroundSet

Is there a setting for idle engine or cockpit noise? I'd like to mod in a quiet background hum that is always present when in your ship, but generally noticeable when thrust is set to zero. What I have right now is a quiet, phased effect that sounds like a life support system doing its work, intersp...

Modifying the Computer Voice

I like the possibilities of the computer voice, but I'd like more options. Is it even possible to control its volume? Can you change pitch, modulation, or speed? I could see it becoming more entertaining and useful if I could get it to approximate a sexless whisper.

Re: How to generate oolite-font.png?

That's a lot of good info. The ultimate object may be beyond my ken, but at least I can figure out how it's done. Thanks.

How to generate oolite-font.png?

I'm a bit surprised there isn't more than one font mod (tty.oxp), given how many texture mods there already are. The default font is nice n' readable, but has all the appeal of a new Microsoft Word document. No offense to anyone who prefers its no-nonsense simplicity. Is there a simple way to go abo...

Re: Where are the expansion packs and how do I install them?

The download for the Black Monk Monastery seems to be out of bandwidth: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Black_Monk_Monastery
