Oolite Bulletins

I see what you mean about the horizontal flares, though - they would definitely have to go! Like this: http://www.keeper1st.com/EL/engineflare1.png The same flare texture is used for the effect of ships warping in, so it's a bit bigger on the engines than I would like for the moment until I see how...

Just discovered this game. It seems more Elite than Elite. Trading, combat, building ships/stations, seamless planetary landing, mining, researching, commanding wingmen, in-space ship-to-ship trading, etc. Full 3D space with Newtonian physics but a control system that makes it quite manageable (but ...

Another pin added to the new map. So there.

I used the national flag, even though I'm embarrassed to be from the U.S. at this moment.

The swearing in has just taken place. Yep. Millions of Americans were swearing at him from their living rooms.

Tsoj, I noticed you updated the link on your Chrysopelea post, but it's the initial version I sent you where I had some code in the wrong place that was messing up the lighting for systems not running shaders (not to mention I'd completely skipped adding shader code to one of the player versions!). ...

Oh, well, there you are then. Poit! Maybe Duggan just haven't come across one yet. The OXZ has no shiplibrary (well, there's a renamed "shiplibrary.plist_" that was used in testing, but as the names of all the ships have since been changed, that file's useless even if you rename it) so non...

One thing I didn't suggest in the PM -- perhaps adjusting the exhaust colours to match the 20 different paint schemes! (Since these came with 20 paint schemes, I didn't create a random colour map for them, except for the Smivs mercenary and pirate variants.) I did download your attached oxz (placed ...

At least having the added colour variants in Stations For Extra Planets would be nice...

Here's a question: Is it possible to enter two values for an argument in the keyconfig.plist? For example, if I want to add the NumPad0 as the Weapons Toggle but not get rid of the default Underscore command (in case I forget that I changed the value in the heat of the moment)... Can I use a comma i...

Mayhap a populator script might be useful just so these incredibly well designed vessels might show up in our normal travels :) Well, the Boas and Anacondas are set up in the rudimentary shipdata.plist as traders, so the default populator will spawn them, and the fighters are set up to be their esc...

Yep, and I even saw one in my compass the other night.

Just goes to show how little time I spend actually PLAYING the game... always modifying stuff!

OK, let's say "apparent demise"...

With the demise of the Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy project, I was left with the textures I had made for it, which I rather liked. An idea I have to put them to use is as a private security firm -- Navy Veterans Security, or NVS. I had at one point edited my installation of Hired Guns to add th...

Something I did for my installation way back when -- a texture for the Solar Researcher, so it doesn't have the same paint scheme as the Constrictor. It's just the Constrictor without the logos, basically. But you can also put in overrides so the lights won't be red like the Constrictor's, either. H...

Version 1.7.2 will be coming soon, because I made some other (minor) changes.

Whatever became of this? The manager still shows 1.7.1.

Sending to you now. I've made a few more tweaks to the paint schemes, making each version have different panels coloured, e.g. the flame-nose doesn't have the centre line; the star-nose doesn't have that section next to the centre line; the pirate has only the centre line. I've also made different e...
