Oolite Bulletins

keep reading this topic title as "Eternal Docking" and imagining having to listen to The Blue Danube for ever

that looks like Oolite's spawned the classic dodo station but also added to it the faceplate and the dock subentities from the newer dodo model, maybe from a clash of oxp's and shipdata.plist entiries for the dodo fighting each other to get loaded? possible fix in assassins, in all the shipdata plis...

I've had the dat to obj convertor script produce obj's where the polygon normals were all flipped from what i would have expected them to be but i'm not sure if it was something in the script doing that or the way my 3d app was interperating the obj model when it loaded it, just wondering if the dat...

That station looks amazing!

Thanks guys, its paint scheme still makes it look like a pair of y-front underpants though, should have fixed that really, this time round. :lol: BTW, love the 'roof-rack' on the adder :P Ha yeah, i took a few details like the roof rack and the lamps from those safari jeeps you see on TV, usually wh...

Added a Cobra III to the download folder, it's a reworking of one i made ages ago with a much lower polygon count this time and textured to match the other spec gloss ships https://i.postimg.cc/D0DrBQh3/griff-specgloss-cobra3.jpg just grab the .oxp for playing in game, the resources download in the ...

That's amazing work KW, what a stunning bit of design and texturing!
Nice screenshot cbr, really captures the scale of the station!

you can reduce the brightness of the illumintaion/ emmsion? if use one of the modulelate_color "material specifier" settings with numbers lower that 1.0 to dim the final result, or push it towards another colour: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Materials_in_Oolite#Material_specifiers emi...

I'm sure there was a version where the edges around the worn away paint had a fire effect applied and it looked like the the hull was burning away, it didn't get further than a demo shader though, would have needed scripting to replace an exploded game object with a copy that had the burning shader ...

RE: Doing this with shaders: this oxp sidewinder uses a custom shader that's heavily based on the default oolite shader to add 'wear'' to the ship based on it's current TradeFactor resale value: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=286840#p286840 I'm not sure what affects the ships 'TradeFactor' ...

That's a nice grungy texture you've made on that one cbr! whatever planet they landed on earlier, the weather really wore out the paint!

no it's doesn't change shape at all unfortunately, i'm trying to think if any OXP ships do.. maybe the user "thargoid" created something once, sounds like something they may have managed to script, they came up will all sorts of cool stuff, docking bay doors that slid open and things if i ...

I'm not sure i ever contributed to a torus station oxp, i didn't make one myself i don't think, will have a search through my oolite workstuff folder on my computer at home, see if anything turns up if it helps

looks awesome, very metallic and grimy, definately looks like it's been lost in space for years and years

That looks amazing phkb! lovely work on those normal & specgloss texture maps!
