Oolite Bulletins

Any development is a good development :P As for the renaming, it will make things alot simpler. speaking of the classics, recently i tried adding normal maps/effects map to one or two of them, was a waste of time, it just doesn't suit them and looks weird on such simple textures. Looks alright on s...

The idea of the neolite core was to replace the existing ships with this lot and rename the originals to "classic" etc. There is also a vintage oxp and a rusties which should work well in this context.

But see:

I am tied up with politics etc - so slower going than expected. Neolite Core ... early policy was that these ships would form a complete replacement for the classic models. In order that oxps which call the classics would actually call these ones, I just hijacked the names. The original concept call...

I am bugfixing neolite core - please present observations and suggestions to the fancy classics thread. One of us has misunderstood the other. I was referring to griff-pack, not neolite. Were you referring to my post? If not, misunderstanding from my side :D Sorry - seems the last thing you talked ...

Thanks - I am bugfixing neolite-core right now so I need to know these things. A quick way to make the ship very shiny is to remove all the green from the effects map. This is done for the wings on the coriolis where it creates a highly polished look. Varying the amount of green varies the dullness ...

With simple shaders, most of the ship look boring after a while (no colooors :( ), but the Fer-de-Lance is completely black on my system. Is that intentional? It's a bit hard to shoot it to pieces when I have to estimate its position with the targeting scanner extension. Totally black with no surfa...

Coolness - the thing to realise about the open-source/free-software thing is that stuff which is obvious and simple to you are me may be subtle are just plain too time consuming to someone else. This is why we let people modify our work - so other people do the stuff we are too thick, lazy or busy, ...

Good to see - On some of those textures you can see the defects in the UV map - like the black-and-grey pattern. A fancier mapping program can probably do a better job if someone wants to tackle it. You may also try setting smooth to false to see if the interpolation changes things. I like the yello...

i made all the original ones have "Vintage" before there names, and all the Griff ones have "SE" or whatever after there names... (so Vintage Adder, Adder and Adder SE) Share the trick please - ages ago I tried renaming all the standard ships "classic" but got lots of ...

Sorry, linux intel graphics drivers start with i followed by a number, so "i965" is the driver . The CPU is Intel Celeron 550, which /proc/cpuinfo tells me is i686 family. I understand this is not the issue. I used to be able to tweak the drivers in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - which no longer exi...

Hmmm ... i965 does not want to do griffs shaders - everything comes out flickery-white. That, and a few other things has been messing with the fer-de-lance skin production. I'll see what I can patch together and mail off to Griff. I have a gecko and a mamba for griff if he wants them. I notice that ...

i950 graphics cards, do not seem to support shaders. No. The Aspire 4315 uses i965. The emachine EL1600 plays this game jerkily. It has i950 gfx - when I go to the game options screen it informs me that shaders are not available. Intel says the chipset supports: http://www.intel.com/products/chipset...

was very interesting to read this thread. im new here played this game well elite on c=64 ages ago and have been tinkering with this oolite and ALLL of the oxp's for last 48 hrs on UBUNTU linux. Welcome i am getting several errors in the log (running newest version available of oolite 1.73.4) and h...

Take care Griff - it's too easy to burn out.

Y'know, it occurs to me that I now have a XP licence - I can run Rendermonkey. Though - rebooting just to do that seems a bit extreme. What I should really do is install a jre to karmic and run the console.
