Oolite Bulletins

Hopefully this works! If you're in the vicinity of Cebior, North-East sector of Galaxy 2, pop into Isis Interstellar. The station should be visible in exit from Witchspace, visible as "I" if you have an ASC. Worth a visit for some discounted equipment, or if you just like docking experienc...

huh. that hasn't been how it always was though, has it? My lasers on the Dominatrix etc worked fine, as far as i recall? i've always modelled the ships, split the guns into separate models and used the co-ordinates for positioning as i do the Flashers, based on where they are in 3D space around the ...

What happens if you take out the weapon_position_forward value?

?
i haven't tried. what benefit would that do, it then wouldn't have any co-ordinates at all to work w/?

This goddamn OXP is fighting me every step of the way >:-( i'm trying to give a ship dual lasers, as i did w/ my Vampires. copied the stuff into the shipdata list, mapped the positions of the gun muzzles, and it's not working. i've got; "test_rgun" = { ai_type = "nullAI.plist"; m...

it's always nice when people highlight your efforts as "crap".

Tweaking Hathor

For me, the Hathor is a beautiful station, one of the most beautiful in the game. And far too beautiful to act as a discount store for agriculturals.

thak you

will be interesting to see what you make of Isis Interstellar.

Another approach to the risk/reward equation is to add something extra to the lore: possibly a trade faction that is upset with those behind the Hathor stations. And they are trying to dissuade traders from taking advantage of the big discounts. So, adding some pirate groups between the Witchpoint/...

Hathor should have had her own market stuff, but i'm guessing that's gone, given Cholmondeley's comments in the other thread KW: When I downloaded your Hathor I found no sign of a commodities.plist - the only trade information was in the lore in your .pdf yeah, looks like this was an abandoned OXP....

as far as my experimentation goes, you can have a dock anywhere on a model but it has to be at the origin [0, 0, 0,] point - so you could place it at the end of one of those arms, but you'd have to shift the model back to get the dock to be at the origin. this is fine for static stations but i belie...

for crying out loud, it was staring me in my face - you're right, the ship tag is KW_II and the role was KWii, got myself mixed up. will rename!

works and can now save, just need to tweak position and possibly orientation.

much obliged @phkb

this was my test script to get the only-in-Cebior bit working, spawned the station in view of the Witchspace exit but wouldn't allow saves; this.name = "oolite-II"; this.systemWillPopulate = function() { if (galaxyNumber === 1 && system.ID === 195) { this.kwiistationOffset = system...

barely had time to look at the first few mins but looked worthy of a post here.

finally replaced my test script w/ the example above and i'm not getting any spawn again. Doesn't have the log line in that my script does but the station appears as an "I" on the ASC, but i'm seeing nothing. no compile/syntax errors in the log though :-/ is there any significance to your ...

You do know that commodities.plists/scripts have changed since cim got his hands on them? The old solution of just ignoring it (and having the main orbital market copied over) no longer works. Hence the issues with the markets in your various stations (Sothis, Nephthys, etc .). And why they never a...
