Er… no. I’ll have a look at that tomorrow

Which Nuit model are you using?

If it is your own retextured Nuit Mk1, then you might prefer to wait until you have transmogrified KW's Nuit Mk2 for External Docking - as otherwise your hard work will be wasted.

If you felt like it, some months down the line, perhaps a second with the music from your v.1.86 video and more action? Combat, HUDs, atmospheric turbulence, more stations (TCA/RSS/Superhub) et cetera ? Embarrassingly, I'd never fully realised that Submersible's BPlanets textures include city night-...

It's not Phkb's SW Economy - it is Stranger's. I prefer to play with the Stranger's World OXPs - I prefer his realism. While Stranger was away, Phkb surrendered to my incessant requests to tweak this OXP so as to make more of Stranger's "Mining World" economies (Stranger's third economic p...

Very nice.



... you will be swamped by requests for a list of the OXPs!

Captain Beatnik did a lot of imagining around Riredi. See Sector1/Riredi for a selection of his lore and links to the rest. There are equivalents in Lave , Tionisla (TOGY & TCA: 6 OXPs - did you explore much there?), Tianve (1 OXP) and Lerelace (needs the Taranis OXP). DGill's Feudal States OXP ...

New Cargoes (but the tie-ins with the goat soup are manually keyed in the OXP). Alien Systems and the various political systems OXPs - but you knew this already. Diplomancy and the military relationships between systems. Various stations OXPs re deciding to populate systems - and also OXPs such as ...

Hillfort-yurt-manor, thank you.

Manors in the "people's paradise" of Vetitice?

I think the major problem is confusion - mixing up planet surface tweaks for textureless planets with tweaks for textured planets means you have to read through the entire list to work out what's up. Otherwise you could just read through an alphabetic list and pick out what was relevant. Wildeblood ...

Would this help? This (thematically dividing the long list of properties) is the problem I had with World Builder, that I was asking last week if you'd help with. Here's my current menu structure: /* ======================================================== DEFINITIONS OF ALL THE SHORT-CUT MENUS You...

Still crashed.

What on earth are you drinking? Is it any good? Can I get some of it?

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...

No. They stink! You can smell them from the other side of the room! Even a Wildebloodian Yurt!

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...

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...
