It's annoying as hell when some idiot with injectors on kills you.

death is often annoying..
but once the culprit ships' flying patterns were recognised I appreciated the laser precision they taught me .. .. very handy in Assassins missions, to be sure

unfortunately Kommissar Rex passed by . .

The Boa2 Class Cruiser does not have a scoop external view.
Neither does the standard Boa nor the Boa Clipper.
The Griff Boa does, however, as does the Python Class Cruiser.

and what about the mentalists getting around in Kraits?? who seem so enthusiastic escaping q-mines only to crash into you at full pelt a.s.a.p.

I can't even open my add-ons folder.

Are you running Oolite from a disk image .dmg file?
If so, you need to copy/save it to another location, then the AddOns folder will be accessible

I just noticed I started this thread - so thank you for all the info :) I have trouble with trolls around here occasionally who genetically engineer novel hybrid viruses under bridges and sneak in the house at night to do a test release; last week it was "new variant N1H2 snake & pelican&qu...

But the downside is that you'll loose them cute skull thingies. :( I had my graphics turned off then, so couldn't see them but noticed a wink mentioned -- oh, so now I've put the graphics back on, I see it isn't this :wink: ALSO is there something I can turn on that reads posts in an evil stutterin...

Again, the file size has no effect on any texture problems in the game.

Thanks, that is noted -- I really want to keep eventual file size as small as possible, though

edit - well I've found out what I was curious about: what can go wrong with graphics files, and all information is useful

Thanks for reply. I expect that when needing to upsize planet on screen as you approach it qoes off momentarily then reappears (slow). My planets do that but are only absent for a few milliseconds e.q. 90. Then immediately reappear (I wouldn't notice, but sometimes the planet is eclipsing the sun &a...

Hi -- although my XML BoaClipper was working OK, I've downloaded the open step one, and that is working fine, too.
(I did reduce the texture PNG to 25% though -- to accommodate my graphics card)
It goes great, looks great

512 x 512

Well thats the max texture size my non-shader system can handle!

What happens if you run SystemRedux?

I notice that in system redux the texture files range between: home_planet12.png...1.3 MB moon1.png................140 KB In Assassins the planet/moon PNG files range between 4 - 68 KB I have created a large number of PNG texture files which range between 24 - 500 KB Wouldn't a 1.3 MB PNG file be mo...

is there a recommended maximum size for planet/moon texture.png files

I don't want anything I add to interfere with anything anyone else does. So when adding (a few) objects I've kept everything to a minimum. The property list was finished, but has required mdoification to enable the objects to be located in Nova systems which, in combination with extraneous matters n...

Well these bars are certainly seedy. I am currently at the The Black Moon on Cezaa Prime where I've just picked up some rather dubious gold and platinum. The absurdly cheap firearms are not dubious - the vendor assured me they were stolen. (I gather that's meant to imply that they are therefore not ...
