Oolite Bulletins

isnt it easier to just watch the HD version at Youtube?

well, I am from Novo Hamburgo, southern Brazil.

here, a panorama of my city, which I bet none of you ever heard about (hey, its the 96th largest city in Brazil, how come you never heard about it??? )

OK, that's it.

I'm for replacing the basic shipset of Oolite core with Griff's designs.

I guess I'm not the only one by far.

Simply awesome.

whats the use? You need 1.73 to run it with those graphics.

looks like its only about 20-30 meters long, due to the ENOURMOUS cockpit.

I think I will pass on Planetfall. No fun landing at a planet if its only some 50km in diameter. Wha? You have a criteria? How do you tell? Do you have a cut out, fold out cardboard shape and if your planetoid pops right through you turn your nose up at it? "Your planet is a piffling trife sir...

uh... why is space light blue as the sky in some of the pics? They're views from within the atmosphere of the planet looking upward. If you get to a very low altitude you'll see the changes. But if you're going to do it, I'd recommend having Planetfall installed, so you land on the planet gracefull...

I started using a Trust Predator GM-5500 joystick to play Oolite...

it works FLAWLESSLY (its also a very good joystick)



yup... 12 buttons (including trigger) + POV Hat + Thruster Control.

Also, it has RUDDER functionality! (which is great to land on stations!)

uh... why is space light blue as the sky in some of the pics?

the first one looked more gray... this second one is brownish...

I was thinking, hasn't captkev made a shiny dodo station? i remember a few screenshots being posted, it looked loverly, it had a aztec symbol on one of the sides i think? You're right Griff, I'm not sure if I ever made it available for download. Here's the link http://download.marlinsoftware.co.uk/...

I had a look at this game and first thought: WOW! That looks so good! However I then realised it was MMO. If only Oolite could have those planets and textures.... :cry: Then it would be less like Elite though... A new version of Oolite? 1 - Infinity Developers plan to include a single player campai...

Perhaps you should consider that those ships are supposed to stem from 2.000+ different worlds in eight differing galactic sectors, hundreds of different species, at least eight different political entities and a broad spectrum of different levels of technological evolution! this would result in a ...

I really dont like the mix of ships around... there are ships that look like right out from the 80s, than the awesome Griff ships that only appear sometimes, but do not mix well with other ships.

I wish I could just replace the original ships with Griff´s!

Griff, your textures look amazing... but this looks quite like a Borg Cube. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m213/griff_03/griff_coriolis_bumpmap.jpg I wonder if you could use the same texture and shaders but with a whiter material, to achieve the effect of a modern, rich system Coriolis Station l...

the polycount mentioned in the beginning of this thread is for FACES or TRIANGLES?

When I export my ship from Sketchup, I get 191 faces and 464 triangles.
