Oolite Bulletins

1. GNN changes up songs in iTunes Oolite playlists. (Interesting when you have 6 news reports and the song changes up every time you go to the next report. lol). I'll look at it. Maybe I could simply offer to go to the next report, if it doesn't use a callback. 2. Bioomarkets GNN ...<snip> Do you m...

@RockDoctor: °sigh° @Prester John: Not so much memory. It's more a graphics card which can handle this. @gsagostinho:The rings are looking great now, gsagostinho! And after taking a look at the shader - some ideas: 1. It could be worth using Oolites fogUniform for the atmosphere instead. Then you ca...

:| On the Wiki, I saw "download Python 2.6", when I dowloaded Obj2Dat.py.
So you mean I have to re-download Python 2.7 for *points at link above*?
:x *GRUMF!* Okay, I note.

Seems the WIKI is outdated as well. See this post by Ahruman.

It might just be possible to use an obj file without the mtl (disclaimer: not sure, never done it), but I would expect that information related to textures of that model will be lost. Yep. BTW: The recommended converter script these days is Obj2DatTexNorm.py . It requires (if I recall it right) Pyt...

Musician, eh? Welcome to the club .-)

Following commit 7b73e99, things like these have just become possible:

Yeeehaa! R'n'R a_c!!!

A third option for tracks is available - reduce volume. Range is [0...1]. So {snd:"mySong01.ogg",dur:100} becomes {snd:"mySong01.ogg",dur:100, vol:0.7} This way you can adjust the songs to your needs. btw: The demo does not use the full range of possibilities. See Lib_Music for m...

Figured it out. Thanks.

What was it?

How is performance affected in general by this? Not at all .-) And I'm developing my Oolite related things on a 10 years old laptop with a weak CPU. It's still smooth and the FPS range doesn't change, so performance is not affected. The used framecallback doesn't do all updates in one turn though. ...

@BlackWolf: I'll upload a new version and send you the link. Library will get a new toy - In-System-Maps in 3D. The initial idea was to improve mission briefings. Reading through a lot of text ("Find this, go there, do that and return to us.") is a little bit a thing of the 90th. We can do...

@a_c: WOW! It really shows - once again - the quality of Griffs models and textures.


I guess I've found my target .-)

Stunning pics, a_c!
