Added a gallery of Griff's ships to the wiki here: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Griff_Industries

Does that look good or what!?

My intention was to expand that page to encompass all of Griff's work, so yes thats a good idea to include those.

However I'm not the only wiki editor, if you have access then by all means go for it!

If you haven't got access yet, just contact one of the Admins, who are Winston, Ahruman, Selezen and Star Gazer; (the last three have been promoted this week).

I presume I have access to the wiki as I edited/created the user:Daddyhoggy page and edited the Snoopers page - so yes, I'll have a play as soon as I am able!

I did have the link to the griffkrait, but not the link for the griffboa. Where is that found for download?

I've updated all the oxp's so they have the bug fixed shaders.
For the individual ship download option i've moved all the decal artwork into a seperate oxp (griff_normalmapped_ship_decals.oxp - it's in the same folder as the rest of the oxp's - link on page 1 of this thread) so you'll need to install that one, ithought this might be a better way rather than duplicate the same image file in most of the oxp's, not sure if this make oolite search for files more though so i can easily move decals back into the OXP's if it works better.
hull lights are now included in simple shader mode.

For the next update, i could change how specular highlights are being coloured for simple shader mode, currently the specular highlights are multiplied by the colour texture so they inherit the texture maps colour - this helps make the surface look more like metal, for simple shader mode this could be changed so the specular highlights use only the systems sun colour and although this will make the ships look more 'plasticy', it will cut down on work for the graphics card to do meaning better frame rates for simple shader mode

Thanks Griff… just installed the set and all ships are displaying properly in the demo shots.
The 'Clear Air Turbulence' looks great in play with custom decal and paint job (using CCC 10.2).

Long in-game session to come tonight, now.

Griff... in-game the whole set seem to be perfect, but there are errors in the Latest.log here.

On another issue slightly, I just tested Griff's shipset on trunk v3046... all was fine, until I went to full screen... not good, I nearly had to re-boot. Alt F4 saved me. I think I'll leave trunk alone for a while.

What happened? I can switch to and from fullscreen with trunk no problem (and I am on an Intel card), so what is going wrong with the ATI?

Also, what exact steps did you do when you tried to switch to fullscreen? What happens if you take out all OXPs and switch to fullscreen?
