Oolite Bulletins

Thank you, but it doesn't work here. Odd - that's how I have it set-up. Perhaps submersible will have a clue when he cruises by. It is intended the Galaxy packs just replace planet textures using planetinfo.plist . IF you have other eye-candy installed which manipulate system.mainPlanet.texture usi...

Once it's installed, just select the mesh object you want to export and use File -> Export -> Oolite (.dat). Note that if the model has a UV map, every face must have a texture assigned, or the script will complain loudly. The script might also be somewhat buggy, but I haven't run into any major un...

The current workflow for exporting meshes looked a little tedious, so I took an afternoon and wrote a script that exports a Blender mesh directly to a .dat file. https://gist.github.com/blm768/6059892 Wow - nice one! The mesh tools moved along with everything else into git - your gist would really ...

I briefly contemplated doing the same process with all the rest of the planets in Povray planets and then realized just how crazy that would be

Considering they're machine generated - perhaps yes. It would be a mighty cpu hog but those textures could be rendered larger.

Since it looks like I uploaded that OXP without a license you could presume almost anything about it . If you're not actually using the textures as they existed - there is not much point naming it submersible_nebulae, perhaps Nebulae_WMTTN (with many thanks to NASA). And the link in the OP is no goo...

So, to use this properly I only download the latest versions of the texture packs? Not the base oxp? And then I will have pretty planets in every system? Or are there more than 8? Galaxies 1 and 2 have updated releases (v1.1) which combined Famous Planets - you can choose to download these or if yo...

Thanks all. When I have some time, I'll try to revive the other Behemoths included in the original Adck's Behemoths oxp. There are some quite nice ones there. It would be shame if those were lost.

Thanks for this. I'd never seen these before and they're quite spectacular.

Cross post from Povray Planets . Combined Famous Planets and Povray Planets for galaxy 2 is finally released . Please see the google drive link in the OP. The Updated galaxy is Povray_Planets_Galaxy2_Textures_v1.1_2013_03_15.zip (note the v1.1) . This is a REPLACEMENT - sorry but it's another big do...

[quote="Paradox"I think when that happens, you need to fall back to Dat2Obj.py instead of Dat2ObjTex.py.[/quote]
Sure - Dat2ObjTex suggests that too, however only the geometry ends up in the .obj - UV vertex attributes are lost.

Dat2ObjTex.py tells me that multiple textures are not supported. Before I go diving into the code - can anyone enlighten me, is that a fundamental problem with the conversion from Obj2DatTex ? I would really like to be able to round trip some models.

furthermore, there no way to change the appearance (textures) of a subent. for each set of textures a complete subent has to be mounted. again, the unused ones destroyed after all are created. This one should be possible already - use the JS setMaterials or setShaders method on the subent. ship.sub...

Could someone please confirm a thing about light years that I bet everyone but me has discovered: That there is in fact a logarithmic scale with travel time on one axis and light years on the other. I have no excuse for not noticing this before. Of course it may not be logarithmic but something sim...

I've already tried dropping subtle hints to that effect, but so far no takers have stepped forward. Everyone is too busy with their own projects. :) I've been working on a model which has no particular home. 'Colossus' looking for a use.
