[Trunk only] Combat Arena OXP

Post by cim »

Following an earlier discussion, I've tidied up the code I use to set up test fights, and given it a usable frontend. You will need a nightly build of Oolite to use this OXP.

Download Combat Arena 1.0

Fly out to the "A" buoy (not far from the witchpoint, and since this is a testing OXP, there's one in every system), and shoot it to set up a fight. Tip: don't shoot it at close range with your front laser...

All ships appearing naturally in Oolite are ranked between "Unqualified" and "Mostly Harmless", by the way.

Enjoy - and let me know how the fights go!

For the third time today... thanks, cim.

There are clearly attempts to drag me back into playing the game!

I think I wished for something like this many years ago - I may have suggested weaving in and out of Asteroids ala Empire Strikes Back, but nice on Cim, nice one indeed.

You have seen Asteroids3D... yes? Great fun! Dock at any station and have a quick session of Classic Asteroids - in 3D!

The perfect chill-out between stressful runs, is Asteroids - try it with the hud turned off.

This Combat Arena is a cool OXP, cim - I got nicely wiped on my first few runs - six Cobras!

DH, I know you were wanting shield flasher effects a very long time ago so when you finally get down to playing again you may want to check out the latest Custom Shields oxp and I hope you like it. :)
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

As my 11yo daughter is prone to saying "Epic" - as soon as this next batch of lecturing is out of the way I'm on it! Brilliant, well done and thank-you!
