Oolite Bulletins

FWIW (more for my own interest in case I want to add variations to the Staer9 set), here I have mapped out the colors used by the Griff Sidewinder, Anaconda and Cobra Mk I (starting to get some duplicates so I've stopped for now). http://www.keeper1st.com/Oolite/exhausts.html The first column is the...

All of the Griff replacement ships do; for example there are nine variations of each Sidewinder model purely for having different exhaust colors. Anacondas have three exhaust-color variations of the trader and pirate NPCs (none of which is shared; the traders and pirates have unique color sets) as w...

Well, if you could add more lines showing any losses and scoops you've had since the initial purchase, then something like this would be ideal: "Current manifest entry for this commodity:" "Amount lost in transit:" "Amount acquired in transit:" "Net gain/loss of th...

Ah, OK, so it is a feature! It was a little confusing on the F8-F8 screen as it says "breakdown of held cargo" when it isn't actually being held anymore.

Looks like when you jettison cargo, the F8 screen (and F8-F8) in flight is not changed. It still shows you as having the cargo you jettisoned. I was just testing stuff out with regards to things that are banned for import or export. I bought some Narcotics which were listed as "Imp" on the...

I suppose, nowadays, this could all be re-named "Oober"!

Updated this HUD since MFDs are now a thing and you might actually need more than four. * Increases number of MFDs from four to 15. When I first added Multi-Function Displays, they were a future feature of Oolite. Now that they're commonplace, four of them may not be enough. You may never need 15 di...

I think I got those from Griff's settings himself, so I used them to be consistent. I think they're the same values I used in the Staer9 set revamp.

It would be awfully nice if this could read the "exhaust_emissive_color" value of a ship (accessible through javascript as "exhaustEmissivecolor") and match the trail color to that...

No, because currently in YAH, the "yah_griff_sidewinder_normal" and "yah_griff_sidewinder_effects" textures are for the Escort model and not the standard model, i.e. they're not for the same model as the diffuse textures. So, just take my "yahfix_griff_sidewinder_normal"...

You'll still have a mismatch between the diffuse texture and the normal & effects textures within YAH. But yes, as I recall, what is now the standard Griff sidewinder was originally the "alt" version. Still, might be easier just to copy'n'paste from my overrides file and plug in my tex...

Currently, YAH is set up to call its own effects and normal maps textures, so that it is not required that the user have Griff's Normalmapped Sidewinder installed. So, if you don't want to introduce that dependency, you will need to change the textures in the YAH OXP. Again, I've already done this f...

Changes, plural. I just added some additional information to be very clear. See above.

It's the other way around. The current dat actually is the escort model, but these textures were designed for the standard Sidewinder model. Note also however that the normal maps and effects maps in the YAH OXP are for the escort model. It's only the diffuse textures that are for the standard model...

Weird. Playing this afternoon I spotted one of these Sidewinders and it was glowing. Somehow the Alpha channel didn't get saved on my last tweak to the effects map. I've re-uploaded the fix ZIP with that problem corrected.
