Oolite Bulletins

I'm in the process of checking the textures i've done...i've completed enough to replace the current system redux textures but some of them need a little tweaking so once i'm happy with them, i will provide a download link for them. Give me a couple of days to double check things...i'm a bit of a p...

My first attempt at a Gas Giant http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab332/parazaine/oolite-009.jpg Can anyone explain to me why the planets are rendered in the galactic map screen rotating at an angle off equatorial? and is this due to be fixed at some point? Also, are there plans to make them rotate...

@ CaptKev...thanks for the code..it works, i just have to do another 60 planet textures, 32 moons and all the rest lol But be aware that the code CaptKev has posted is incompatible with the newer versions. E.g. it does not texture the target systems, it won't work with OXPConfig, the optional exclu...

I'm abandoning my work on Famous Planets....working from the base textures hasn't produced results i'm happy with so i'm going to concentrate on doing new textures for system redux and leave Famous Planets for PA Groove who I believe is working on this atm? My compliments to you PA Groove...Famous p...

No, they are both totally new textures done using the aforementioned planetary texture generator and then photoshopped etc. I am also attempting to improve the Famous Planets textures but this is proving much more difficult as i just have a flat image to work with. I'm about half way through convert...

Another teaser pic....this one a not-so-habitable world

Thanks...and its fairly easy to do with the aforementioned Texture generator....I did photoshop it etc and added a cloud layer and did a few other things but if I can do it, believe me , anyone can. The texture program cube-maps it on generation (if that option is selected) and the cloud textures i ...

Just an update on my progress.... I found a really useful freeware planetary texture generation program which may be of use to other Planetary Artists.... http://www.bundysoft.com/L3DT/ and i've been using this to generate some 8k by 4k textures (unfortunately, the free version only allows 2k by 1k ...

Ok, thanks for that, i may give this a go and let you know how i get on.

Ok, thanks for the reply...i will use my re-vamped textures to tide me over until then.

I also have a question where System Redux is concerned ... is it possible to increase the number of textures System Redux chooses from to provide more variety? Last I heard, CaptKev was already working on an expansion/improvement of System Redux - maybe you should PM him? Like I said, my coding ski...

There have been many good points raised here but forgive me if this has already been said (I skipped the last page of comments) Elite not only invented the Space trading game genre, it invented the single-player open-world game that has exploded into nearly every other game genre that exists....it w...

As the title suggests, I have been through all the textures in Famous Planets and System Redux with the aim of improving them. For famous Planets I kept the Texture size the same and Photoshopped the various images to improve clarity and try to remove some of the perceived blur in some of them...I a...

The situation seems to have resolved itself. After a restart, the stuttering was gone so it must have been some sort of background process.
