Did you hit the ESC key twice rapidly or as fast as you can?

Obviously not.

I have since been able to do so. It requires very rapid successive hits.
No wonder I never managed to escape in the past.
So, it is a good thing that I have invested in the Foole's system.

Your welcome.

Thanks for posting guys! :D @JazHaz: Ships that have fuel will leak fuel until the fuel runs dry, including the player, when fuel leak damage happens. @Shipbuilder: The flicker of flame at long distance is the ships missiles that it just launched prior to being destroyed exploding for whatever reaso...

I have to get around to this, for you. Just got side tracked recently with doing something different (escorting traders) in Oolite. I'm in combat much more than I used to be, but don't seem to get blown away too much. I have a saved game with my Boa CC, and will make a point of it to pick up some p...

Alright guys, thanks for the heads up. It was as I suspected. The oxp has "counts_as_kill = no;" and "bounty = 0;" for all the markers but the panels are like-shipped to the core game scarred-alloy. To avoid a community kerfuffel over this I'll just set the bounty for the blown p...

Did someone say "BBQ"? I'm there man!

CustomShieldsv082.oxp is now available for download. Sept. 17, 2012 changelog: version 0.82 -one poly model now in use for the markers with a small black texture -a few script tweaks to try to ensure most markers aren't destroyed prematurely -changes on shipTakingDamage routines to eliminate whom is...

JazHaz and Shipbuilder, thanks for the reports, I will take a look at the bounty issue as I was not aware of that one. The next post debuts CustomShieldsv082 which has gone through the ringer for bugfixing and these above issues may already be solved due to the amount of tweaks and fixes. In any cas...

Mind you, using the debug console should to set the coordinates allow people to just find their 'perfect' setting much more quickly! Not to mention that in theory you could combine cim's js external view stuff with a framecallback, and get an external camera view that kind of bobs in your wake... o...

:D Ok, Shipbuilder, here is what I need for the prototype damaged escape pod. -based on the core ship model that comes with oolite. -about 1/3 of one of the bottom corners should be blown off. -for this basic model, keep the polys down, maybe just simply chop the corner off flat as it probably won't...

At your suggestion I've downloaded these and will use these as a potential reference for the 1.77version of CustomShields.oxp. Great job and thanks!

CustomShieldsv081.oxp is now available for download. Sept. 13, 2012 Changelog: version 0.81 -removed zero poly marker and replaced with a regular poly model -script tweaks related to the regular model compatibility -selectability for damage effects added -selectability for missile and mine explosion...

Thanks cim for the new.dat file, will take a look and see if this works better than the shrunken cube I'm using in version 0.81. Appreciate it! Smivs, thanks for the comments, cool to see the video available even though I coundn't actually watch it. Thanks! Thargoid, thanks and will look at those ox...

And I don't know if it's connected to this, but at the same time I can fly thru the coriolis station dock right to the other side. Has not happened to me before. The OXP uses a zero-polygon model, which messes all sorts of things up in 1.76. Other symptoms may include being unable to scoop cargo, s...

Shipbuilder, I have a specific need for an escape capsule based on the core game model that has serious damage to it like a whole corner missing and cracked glass and the texture should look like it has been burned really bad with smoke damage marring the texture, not much color, pretty charcoal-lik...

Hi Corny. I would like to see a video with the new CustomShields effects in it. Any chance to make one with just lots of dogfighting and post it up?
