Oolite Bulletins

I liked the look of tsoj's Chrysopelea so much I went and gave it some shader work to make it look metallic, make the lights on top flash, and introduce random colours. Since it was set up for four designs already (four different colours originally), I kept it that way but introduced four different ...

Does it? I don't recall seeing the Tetrahedron station in SFEP... which is a good thing as the Tetrahedron's dock was too small. Even if you use docking computers you tended to get the crap beaten out of you. Always wished someone would make the tetras slightly larger. Back when I had the Z-Groovy s...

Years ago I made some different textures to fix "problems" with Amaranth's retexturing. The main problem was that a few things that used to have different textures now had identical textures. Notably the three Worker's Commuters, and the Guard & Viper rays. So I made some slight colora...

Improved look of the Imperial Astro Factory with the addition of a normal map and slightly darker texture, and better control over the specular mapping of the rock portion. Now it doesn't look like a smooth shiny marble but rather a craggy ol' rock. http://www.keeper1st.com/Oolite/astrofactory.png N...

Of course you can use it!

Yes, its colors are green on top, and white on the bottom, with blue trim.

I just realized that the zip file of the edited images I uploaded was the wrong one. That was for the old set. The images for the new set are at http://www.keeper1st.com/Oolite/bgs2changedimages.zip

Of course, I did that already, changing one of the two Star stores into GalaxyMart (parody of FamilyMart). Going with the idea of parodies of big Japanese chains, we could do Lawsoon (parody of Lawson). Could you zip what you've done, share it with me and I'll add the new ads. And make it work with...

Well, this is the future, so smart weapons would be the norm. And what's wrong with having polite weapons as well? Maybe it's a GalCop policy to improve the image of spacing. You know, all those course and vulgar pirates are really lowering the tone of space, aren't they. So polite weapons redress ...

Bugger. I'll try to catch it. For future cases, a screen shot of the case would be awesome for me to replicate the exact situation. Actually I did save it! I just hadn't uploaded it yet... http://www.keeper1st.com/Oolite/hoopyerror.png I should have a straight of 5-6-7-8-9, but it says I only have ...

Some OXPs want to use the old Woma, but I didn't want to have the whole Transports OXP with those old ships, so I tweaked away to make basically a Woma-only OXP, and while at it gave the ship itself a bit of graphical love. Shiny! It's probably not OK to post, but I'll share the picture because I li...

Oh yeah, I don't know if it applies to your Constore gambling version, but in a Hoopy Casino the other day I was playing Hold 'Em and had a straight, but it said I lost for having only a pair.

For years I've had some changed images and sounds for this set. I've updated them to match the new set. I figure people might like them, so I've uploaded them. The screens have a bit of the "legend" icons showing the relative order of government and economy types, as well as a function key...

Good point. I wonder if it's possible to spawn the station with some defenders patrolling around it already -- without it spawning GalCop Vipers. I did quickly set up defenders as "escorts" for the station and that sorta worked, but was a bit weird as they are swirled above the station, an...

Another updated version posted now. V1.12 restores the individual colour schemes for the different store brands, which the current version of Your Ad Here had removed (making all stores orange). Also it overrides a line from YAH that contained a typo which was preventing one ad from displaying (&quo...
