Oops, fixed the order the ships are listed on page 1! :oops:
It looks like I've made a slight mistake in the decal placing on the player ship, the rotation settings for decals 1 & 2 should be swapped around, plus they could both do with being placed a tiny bit higher on the hull, maybe something like this (lines 50 - 53 in the shipdata.plist)

Code: Select all

Decal1_Scale_and_Position = { type = vector; value = "0.08 0.158 14.9"; };
Decal1_Rotation = { type = "float"; value = -0.06; };							
Decal2_Scale_and_Position = { type = vector; value = "0.92 0.53 14.9"; };
Decal2_Rotation = { type = "float"; value = 0.06; };
edit: Added in the missing ; (see Erics post below)

Very nice. Can I ask, does this ship have a Scoop View? Of all the Boa 2's out there, only the Neolite one has this.

I currently fly the Neolite Boa 2, and find it invaluable.

As written in a direct PM to Griff, above code has an syntax error preventing the ship to load on a mac platform. (Missing semicolon). So mac users better wait with downloading until fixed. Windows ignores the missing semicolon.

Thanks for spotting the bug Eric, i've re-uploaded the OXP, appologies to anyone who's already downloaded it to find out it doesn't work, I've also added in a 'Scoop Camera' as suggested by JazHaz too.

The updated all-in-one shipset with Boa MkII is now available for download. :D

Added the Boa (not yet included in Dizzy's all-in-1-bundle). Sorry about the very dark screenshot, it wouldn't light properly in Rendermonkey for some reason
Image

edit: ah, this ones a bit better, i spun the model 90 degrees, seems to help rendermonkey light it, although the normal map looks like it's gone a bit haywire now

Thanks Griff... looks nice, see screenshots.

Added an alternative model & texture for the Python, made it look closer in shape to the original Oolite version and textured it a lot nicer than the previous python attempt i made
