Re: Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting this *@*#~&ing .oxp

I'll examine the code and try to come up with reasonably understandable descriptions for each (which may be tricky, as some of this code is hard to understand). Thanks for this! I was pondering splitting up the (to me) confusing list of 2 dozen properties into sub-categories: Planet body .............

"cloud_alpha" = "8.5"; // much higher than normal cloud_alpha is expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. It is the opacity of the cloud layer. 0.0 is fully transparent, 1.0 is fully opaque. 8.5 is clamped to 1.0 in the best case scenario or undefined behavior in the worst. Just brow...

Re: Nuit Space station

For some reason the Nuit is a lot harder to dock into for me without bumping into something than any other non-rotating station. I noticed earlier in the thread someone else was having a similar problem; I wonder if the visible shape of the station doesn't quite match its collision box. This is Nui...

Re: The Feudal States

Any problems give me a shout. I've a horrrrrrrendously long, edited descriptions.plist to send to you for Extended (mostly to make it AppleMac friendly). Too long to fit on here without divvying it up. (I've yet to marmalise Tibecea for you, sorry!) And, two issues. i) The P.A.D. is not quite worki...

Re: Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting this *@*#~&ing .oxp

And Ahruman's 2007 additions seem never to have been included - so I'll get onto that now. Are you going to check if they work, first? I don’t know how to - I don’t understand the descriptions. Edited to add: Confusions underlined .... cloud_alpha – scale factor for cloud_color and polar_cloud_colo...

Re: Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting this *@*#~&ing .oxp

Planetinfo.plist wiki page Is this still true? (top of the page) Each of the properties mentioned below can be set ( but, notably, not the location of the main planet, which is hard coded into the system seed value ) I thought we could now move the main planet along the z-axis from the witchpoint b...

Re: Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Starting this *@*#~&ing .oxp

I'm trying to create a believable Larais (...the planet is permanently shrouded in a thick, orange haze. No-one knows exactly what secrets are to be found at ground level as the industrial fog is simply too dense.) 1) Orange without a planet texture seems to become purple with a texture! 2) I can't ...

Re: Main station variety

Oh, I know how to force a misjump. I meant when I get the notice from the Welcome Mat OXP that an alien vessel has been detected; I run all over the system looking for the Thargoids and almost never find them. I've never really bothered. But if you are up to them, our various Thargoid OXPs are joll...

Re: Main station variety

Don't you hate bugs that sense you're trying to examine them and hide? Is that why we only ever end up with Thargons/Alien Items and never the Thargoids themselves? That does sometimes seem to be true of Thargoids too... it feels if I'm actively looking them in a system I never find any. Almost alw...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

roles = "baakili-fartrader bigTrader(0.05)"; seems to imply that the chance is 1/20th of a full role. So if you have no other BigShips loaded, you will see one in approximately every 20 systems, or less depending on how you set the populator in "Config for AddOns" (Library.oxp) ...
