Oolite Bulletins

Looking in my old C64 Elite 'Space Traders Flight Training Manual', in the Pilot's Log section at the back I just have: Date: 20th Lave to Leesti: Lave to Reorte: 2T Food 12T Food 1T Furs 2T Minerals 1T Gem Stones Date seems a bit vague, no further notes so I assume this pilot didn't survive docking...

That rant against windmills in his meet the press segment up in Scotland this week got me fuming, saying how they spoilt the beautiful landscape and all the while he's been running down the National parks back in the US and opening them up to his mates to go in and start drilling and fracking. I can...

Drew's started a playthrough of the Archimedes version of Elite on his retro gaming channel, only one episode posted so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZObpX3hPtc After seeing him get repeatedly jumped by pirates (in corporate states!) when hauling just a few tons of food & textiles, Oolite...

Yep, the elite2 ships are in the same style and all the standard elite stations, rock hermits etc.

This sounds exciting A_C!! New lighting shader stuff

Re: flat-shaded and low poly look for Oolite - Maybe the ArcElite oxp would suit?

It won't affect extra oxp ships though, just the default ship set

something a little bit different from the usual - another attempt at an ice asteroid! must be my 4th or 5th go at these - this time i used Modo's (a 3d app) built in procedural textures to displace and texture a sphere into a spiky boulder shape rather than try and model or sculpt it myself, worked ...

wow that takes me back what a beauty! nice work cbr

i put a longer reply in the lost OXP's thread, but i seem to have some sort of version of it in an archive on my pc, have uploaded it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aVU0NH9EL29GC7RuiTtd-2f5PzdznR0Y/view?usp=sharing don't know if that's ramon's original upload though, the models and textures a...

ah man, an important oxp - the first one to start re-imagining the core shipset for todays Oolite i think, knocked us all for six when Ramon posted those gifs and artwork Doing a search on my pc unearths a "ramon_anaconda.zip" file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aVU0NH9EL29GC7RuiTtd-2f5...

Griff, didn't you do a set of branded anacondas, years ago? I'm sure I remember this/that existing previously.

I do remember these too, I'm sure they were in the screenshots thread a year or so back, we're they cbr's work maybe?

Beautiful design and texture work on those Anacondas on page 2!

Thanks for all the work updating this so it works for current builds of Oolite LittleBear, i can't imagine how many hours it must have taken , worth it though!! the oxp adds so much to the game

That is just a pure work of art! Amazing stuff KW!

Really awesome to read Cody is still about too,hope he's doing well

I don't have a copy of Eric's oxp, but it looks like his script work got implemented in the version in the downloads section of the ships wiki page https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Griff_Krait To be honest I thought there was an even later version than that one with normal mapping added, couldn't f...
