Oolite Bulletins

Is it possible / advisable to put the different conversion scripts on the main Berlios download page? The variety of links made it difficult to determine the most current version.

Sorry, my mistake. I thought I just removed the references to the dependencies, not the console itself. The problem wasn't with the console readme but the wiki which said install x, y, & z before you install the console. I don't usually install things without their stated dependencies to see if ...

Is this correct re: role? Refer to config\shipdata.plist Find the entry for the ship in question Find the KEY "role" Use one of the defined roles as the argument for :spawn (question: it seems to need a role with the shipname in the defined role, e.g :spawn shipX-player. If the defined rol...

At the time of writing that page of the wiki, I hadn't yet compiled the python console into a windows executable. All normal python programs are interpreted, they need at least the python interpreter in order to run, and normally have a .py extension. (this is very much the case for the obj to dat ...

My apologies. I got that infomation from the wiki. Note: At the time of writing, a cross-platform, python based, external console application is available in the Berlios Oolite files area. It requires the twisted library, and the pywin32 library if run under windows. http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php...

Just a couple of comments: Dependencies: 2. Install Python if not already installed. [Python.org] (NOTE: Python 2.6 is required for PyWin32 & Twisted as of this writing) 3. Install PyWin32 [Python.org] 4. Install Twisted [http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/] 5. Install the OoliteDebugConsole [http:/...

I'd be happy to put them up in the gallery I set up for my attempts.

No pressure, just an option.

VIEWING YOUR SKIN and/or MODEL IN OOLITE If the ship you want to view is your player ship simply launch the ship and press v to cycle through the external views. Otherwise ...

The Python scripts can't handle (AFAICT) a .dat with more than one texture -- no UV coordinates are present in the output .obj (according to LithUnmap & UVmap).

Any way to get a working UV map from one of these .dats?

Thanks.

Re-did the Dredger Trader Skin. Any constructive criticism welcome.

Thanks.

I thought that using the external view of the player ship would stop the chasing, but parking the spawn is much easier.

[I've been making procedure lists of what I have learned re: skinning, but there is no option to create an account on the alioth wiki.]

Is there a JavaScript command to make a ship available for purchase? Also, to give player x number of credits: credits : x Is that correct? (I'm missing something, it does not work in the console) [Seeing if there is a way to give the player a certain ship in order to preview texture. Is there an Oo...

Thanks.

I'll try to summarize this when I have a handle on it.

I do my ship-texturing the same way.

That makes me feel better. All the tutorials approach this from the Mesh olympians' viewpoint.
