About the new feature... is it a new, improved galactic jump effect? Or maybe even a realistic docking tunnell?
Nope .-) It is related to jumps though... We are only playing again with some of the features you guys have implemented. Oolite is still full of unexplored possibilities...

Svengali, I just saw cornys video with your hyperspace jump effect and it's very nice. Good job! :D

Wish there was a shaderless version to use on my netbook though... :(
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

Of course I will! Actually, I test possible new candidates for screen recording software specifically with that effect so that it will be as lag-free as possible :)
Cool :D

But better wait for the next BGS version... then you can show another new feature too... .-)
Waiting even longer? I took long enough already :D
Of course I'll be happy to record your next stroke of genius for my series.

The current status is ~40%, because collecting the necessary data is a pretty timeintensive thing and we're working hard to get it done - at least if we're not piloting drunken (and have to pick up litter in the main hangar deck then).

Hey Svengali, Was the new Q-Bomb sound usable?
BTW seen the new oxp you're working on. Very good!

The sound you've sent to me is pretty nice. Smooth with only a very light modulation .-)

Many thanks for this (and the other updates), Svengali.

errrr....
Have I done (or not done) something stupid?
I just pulled out BGS A1.3.5, and put the new A1.4oxp in, but there's no sounds.
:/

BTW
I've just loaded Oolite 1.76 and the new Cabal common library.

I get some sounds (e.g. hyperspeed mass lock) but no chatter on leaving a station, no countdown on jumping, etc.
