Oolite Bulletins

Okay I've installed the Matfinder library and the other library that goes with it - seems to work fine in the f4 page ingame. I can scroll through the list of objects installed so that's a good start however the Spearhead interceptor is most likely not compatible in it's current form and is not on t...

So the main issue was that in the time period between when I'd originally designed the Spearhead and when I'd come back to it in 2020, Wings had undergone major updates which made the older Wings files incompatible. AFAIK, older files have to be converted in some way to get them load up in 1.5 or la...

Hi there, been a while I know... The last two years have been pretty fraught and I confess that I got mixed up with the newer vesrion of Wings 3d. I'm practically starting from scratch even though I still have the orginal mesh / dat files. I still would like to complete this properly but I'll need t...

Thats terrific, thank you for doing this, this gives me something to go on - I don't know how I got the initial values so wide of the mark.

Incidentally, what program did you use to check the model?

Hi there, just wondered if you'd been able to have a look at that .dat file and see if you could spot the problem?

I've gone with another file host just in case:

Hi there, I posted a link to the .dat file and plist in the post before the screenshots - did they not link properly?

Actually, these screens were taken from the latest version of Oolite - 1.88.

I'm afraid the exhausts have always been an issue on this model but the rest of it appears in game as it was meant to be.

I will update the textures to something more in keeping with the newer ships.

Here are the screenshots to show you what I mean:

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I've uploaded links for the ship model and it's plist. The model was originally constructed in an early version of Wings3d - I suspect this might be a problem in 2020.

Firstly, many thanks for your rapid response. Currently, the exhaust info from the Plist looks like this: <key>exhaust</key> <array> <string>0.406 16.437 32.094 0.25 2.0 6.0</string> <string>3 14 29.969 1.0 0.35 3.0</string> <string>-2 14 29.969 1.0 0.35 3.0</string> <string>5.531 14 29.969 1.0 0.35...

Hi there, I wonder if you can help me, back in 2006 when I first discovered Oolite I decided to have a go at designing my own ship. Considering I was a complete newbie (still am) I was quite pleased with the result... except no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to fix the positioning of the engine ...
