OOlite 1.75.1 Windows - 'throwingSparks' on playership

[Griff]

my Specs: Oolite-1.75.1-test.exe (and Oolite-1.75-test.exe) - Windows

I think that there's something wrong with the shader uniform bool throwingSparks in Oolite 1.75 and up, it doesn't seem to reset back to false after it's become true - not even after docking the ship.
I've tested this by heating up a griff_cobraIII to get to the throwingsparks state, the shader uses the bool to blink the hull lights and the engine glowmap on & off to give the impression of a ship on the verge of blowing up, if the ship can recover back to full health the lights & engine never stop blinking, also there doesn't seem to be any sparks thrown off from the player ship anymore (they still appear on NPC ships though)

edit: Just managed a bit more testing by letting myself get shot up by pirates - it looks like throwingsparks doesn't become true at all from laser damage

Simply put, the player doesn’t do the whole sparks thing. Sorry.

Somehow, this is waiting for an acerbic Twilight joke...

Is that a new change or has it always been like that?
I'll have a look if i can do something with the shader uniform - "damage" to get the players ship into it's blinky light state
