Re: Sub-entities

It can be done - with current features, at that - using scripting. I've not seen it done yet, but it sounds an interesting idea. (There is Smivs' shipset for retexturing on damage, which is a similar effect with a different approach) You can call ship.subEntities[0].remove() or ship.subEntities[0]....

Re: Vortex OXP (plus the Maelstrom)

Is the anti-missile system the two turrets on the sides? Or else what are the two bumps near the mouth-like opening in front that I assume is the scoop? I had an earlier version, but I lost that with my saves on my old netbook, and it was a long time ago so I don't remember. Also, how hard would it ...

Sub-entities

I was thinking about sub-entities on ships in oolite, and I thought I had heard a while back on the forum that they can be set to be indestructable (where they are part of the ship and can't be destroyed) or set to frangible (where they have a certain amount of energy and are destroyed when that is ...

Re: Licensing with Dead Man clause

Could there be different levels of such a clause? If someone wants to put a mia clause in their oxp, but doesn't want someone to take the oxp in directions they don't want; could they put a license that would only allow modification for compatibility with the latest version of Oolite? In other words...

Re: Griff's normalmapped ship remakes

Griff, you redid your Cobra mk. III to reflect the stock cobra's shape. Is it in your shipset, already? If not, where would I get it?

Re: Trying to get latest version of Oolite running.

Have you tried starting the game without OXPs? Have you checked that you have Griff's ships correctly placed? Yes, starting the game without oxps was in the original post. It would load without oxps, but with oxps it crashed. I then narrowed it down to griff's shipset and accessories, because it re...

Re: Trying to get latest version of Oolite running.

A long shot - try starting Oolite with the -nosplash option, as described here . Ok, I will try that. I started a game with wolfwoods classics installed, however. It is with griff's shipset, it's resource pack, and the alloy and wreckage pack that issues occur, at least from what I have narrowed do...

Ensure that Oolite is not set to strict mode, and do you have the Griff's resources OXP installed? The addition OXP (should be 1.2.25) requires that.
Yes, and strict mode should be off, but I can't check because the game won't even start. The splash pops up and the game then goes to not responding.

[Solved] Trying to get latest version of Oolite running.

I was having issues a while back with Oolite. In this topic: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12799 I got busy and yesterday came back to Oolite, and re-installed it with version 1.77.1. It fixed my weird start problem, but now the game won't load with oxps installed. My latest log fr...

Re: What will humans look like in 100,000 years?

Would it be possible to make everyone bigger without too many problems? A larger cranium might work fine if the rest of the body could be genetically engineered to be larger in stature to make it more proportional. Such a modification might be popular as it would also allow increased strength by res...

Re: Ship recomendations.

Cobra Rapier might be a good mid step between (edit: cobra III) and the asp or pitviper, but it sounds like you are already there. Cmdr. Uzi might like it, it costs around price of cobra mk. III but it is faster, thiner, but with a bit less cargo and missiles.

Re: [WIP] Ship's manual OXP

This looks useful, thanks. Could this be used to add a ship's library? It just seemed like the idea of being to add via oxp an ingame document made me wonder if you could insert an oxp with the ability to view multiple documents accessible from f4 or another key. I gather that it can only be seen in...
