Oolite Bulletins

Well, design wise, it never was a good decision to place a partially blue flag on a blue background...

Is there an easy way to change the escort_ship from the shipdata.plist, or assign the role of a certain escort, in the this.shipSpawned function?

If this were done, it would make sense for the most ad-incrusted stations to be in corporate systems, with democracies and confederacies not far behind. Communist systems might not even have ads at all.

Apart from the great motivational posters in commies.

This looks really nice. :D And I'll just ask in this thread, because it is probably somehow related: Any problems changing the diffuse_map on subentities via script? :wink: No problem at all. Here's a snippet from Station Ads: ... var newAd = worldScripts["ad_resource"]._getHorizontalAd()...

No Coyote or Roadrunner, either. :cry: #JustSaying The Coyote: mean, unreliable, prone to explosive behaviours. Approach one at your own risk. No insurance company in the 8 galaxies insure them, only the shipyard company if you personally come back to retrieve the reimbursement. The Roadrunner: Eff...

I planned to make the IC my next ship. Downloaded the OXP quite some time ago, put it in my AddOns folder, but never seen an IC and never have been able to buy one. What's up?

Have you checked the log? It is quite an old oxp, maybe there is some problem. (0olite/oolite.app/Logs/Latest.log)...

...setMaterials() even right in the shipSpawned event handler (it is not too late). Respray for Griffs use the same function.

This is a new function, isn't it? I really would like to have known that...

<nods> Aye... the guv'nor is currently beset by RL, so what needs fixing/updating will be a while yet. My posts tend to be placed a little bit before others today, even if I quote them... :roll: EDIT: It just places the post at my time in the thread... but as I'm somewhat behind here in Europe to a...

Heading to Isoned's sun, met this peaceful lot, who were happy to be photo buzzed :) Edit: You might want to have a look at the role weighting in the shipdata.plist and the chance in shipyard.plist so that they aren't so common. Thanks. :D Regarding the role weighting: Dammit, I have to remember th...

I did my first OXZ! Here is a little backstory on the wiki, but really, I just made some ships with a bit of retro-design vibe a la WW2 or maybe the 50s... (it more or less happened :D ) The draco: http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/b/b5/Draco.png The dragonette: http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php...

Thanks, I'll change that. I didn't get that from the wiki...
I'll add a new thread as soon as it works

:D Ok, I think I did everything as needed and in the documentation... but: http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/1/15/UnknownError.png :oops: Luckily, there is an error very soon after this. Any ideas? I'll just add the manifest.plist: { "identifier" = "oolite.oxp.rorschachhamster.Drago...

:lol: However, I don't think an Oculus Rift would be necessary.. a three-monitor setup and a TrackIR-style rig would do just fine. I just realized, in the not-so-far future (2 Years? 3? More?) almost everybody reading this will think "Why so complicated?" If the brand Oculus is still known...
