if i buy a rocket to fire at someone i want it to do more damage than that!!
How about a decal for each rocket (on a Cobby3), that is removed for each missile that is fired...

Think bigger! °grins°

How about automatically adding one decal for each kill?

Eventually your PC would fall over as the shader throttled the life out of your gfx card...

but...

Special symbols indicating Elite status on the ship (like those from the Icon comp) - now that would look fab!

Yes... now that's what I would call a cool bumper sticker.

Thanks for the multi-decal Cobra III, Griff... I don't need a paint job on the underside now.

Whoever advised me to download GIMP has a lot to answer for... it's infuriatingly addictive.

In my opinion it would look better is it was 50 to 75% opaque, looks too sharp.

Havn't read every page, is it possible to set opacity?

there isn't a control for decal opacity in the shader i'm afraid, the only way to do it at the moment would be by 'baking' the transparency into the decal artwork in gimp or photoshop, it's really easy to do though, just lower the opacity of the layer your decal is on before saving it out as a png for oolite.

Maybe it's a brand-new paint job? :mrgreen:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Yep... brand new ship (freshly scuffed), brand new paint job.

There seems to be a problem with the laser. Don't know if this is an old problem or something that is new in version 1.75
Its Griffs multidecal_cobraIII_player.oxp. At least I know it used to work as you can see in El Viejo's picture further up.

Wow, Now I'm impressed. I started Oolite to check, and quickly found that on some of my saves it was missing, on others it was OK. Strange, or?
Well, it turns out it comes back when I run maintenance on the ship. Not sure whether I like or dislike that, or even if it is a coincidence or not. Griff! is this intentional or an oddity. Actually it's quite cool.

Here is the repaired version. Glow shader on the laser doesn't seem to work though. I fired laser until overheating warning was given, and then took the screen shot. Any way I can set laser colour to green?
