The Moray shipdata.plist doesn't look right... a whole bunch of other OXP stuff in there. I need an expert to look at it.
I think i need to put one of those ice cube filled bags on my head for an hour, the moray shipdata.plist did indeed have a whole load of other ships in it too (almost all the ships that started with letters further down the alphabet than 'M' ) this will probably only effect the individual download version, not the dizzy all-in-1 bundle, i'll have a look now at why the player moray is so dark - if you're testing it with the trunk build, could you also check it against the currest test release version, um, 1.74.4 i think? the reason being that i asked for some extra features for player ship random shader bindings and i think it's meant a lot of rewriting of player ship related shader uniforms, that hasn't quite been finished yet.
hmm, i just updated trunk to 2057, hacked a save file to give myself a moray med and went to the load commander screen, it does indeed look a bit more dim, i think it's just the placement of the light source on that screen though, it should be OK in game although i haven't seen one yet to verify
and here's the same oxp in 1.73.4

bimey, that is weird! could it be an oxp conflict or something? didn't something like this get posted up a few weeks ago - a coriolis with half of the texture from another ship on it? did we work out what caused that?
Those letters seem to be coming from another oxp or maybe one of the standard oolite font images, it's not anything i've drawn, it looks to neat and not enough rivets in it.
Incidently, i've re-uploaded the moray with a fixed shipdata.plist- the duplicated entries in it for the orbital shuttle will explain those errors you were getting El Viejo about the missing 'r_channel' fragment file.
It’s only the Moray Med Boat that looks strange in the shipyard… the Moray Star Boat looks fine.
(My Cobra’s resale value has been restored as well… odd that!).
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
A better pic of the Moray Med Boat in the shipyard, with the fill light turned right up to show the 'letters'. They're elusive in-game, I can't find one. The Moray Star Boat is definitely okay. The log is clear, btw.

oh flip, i think i might know what's causing this - no prizes for guessing, i've made a typo in the shader
Oolite is using 'uEffectsMap' in the shipdata.plist and the shader is expecting a texture called 'uEffectMap', i'll fix it and re-upoad the oxp
edit: now re-uploaded!
Using the same OXP (i.e. not the updated one) as above, I finally tracked down a Moray Med Boat in-game... looks fine.
You know that the easiest way to track down a Med boat is by just creating one right in front of your ship using the JS console?
The only thing you need is to spawn a ship with the unique role of a Med Boat. For the one from the original set that would be "oolite-morayMED". Not sure about Griff's variant.

Yeah, I know about the JS console... but that's too much for my poor old brain. Editing a plist is about as much as I can do... besides, I like in-game testing.

Hmm. Actually the JS console is nothing more than a tool to edit JS-scripts (not plists, admittedly) in runtime. So the natural result is in-game testing.
If I had just spawned the required ship as and when I wanted it, the hunt for a Moray Med Boat would not have taken me across several systems and on into another chart, and I would not have encountered the ‘clean’ bandits.
That’s what I mean by ‘in-game’… I’m a player, not an OXPer or a coder… I like to mix a ‘test’ in with the game.
Having said that, I’ll probably have a look at the JS console at some stage, I can see how useful it might be.

) this will probably only effect the individual download version, not the dizzy all-in-1 bundle, i'll have a look now at why the player moray is so dark - if you're testing it with the trunk build, could you also check it against the currest test release version, um, 1.74.4 i think? the reason being that i asked for some extra features for player ship random shader bindings and i think it's meant a lot of rewriting of player ship related shader uniforms, that hasn't quite been finished yet.
