What are you using to post your images? I take it that you have tried Image Shack, and Photo Bucket with no luck? I've never heard of Droplr.

I like that very much, something a story could be built around and would be cool if rock hermits were actually one of these in high tech or high productivity systems, one per system.:D
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.

That really is a cool idea, but I want to know one thing. Does this asteroid have some kind of corrective thrusters? Asteroids have a nasty habit of smashing into things.......like space stations. :mrgreen:

Hmm. There's some kind of inconsistency there...


But it might be research laboratory. Or a ooniversity. Or a mootel. Or ...

... ready for this? ...

... a moonastery. :lol:

What if the monks had domesticated the lethal spotted bovines of Onrira? Then it would be a MooooOonastery.

They all look great!

What i have seen so far is that you can make the ship in the blender. but then they go on to things added like lights and visual effects,thats a java?
i can see the nightmare of makeing 1 or 3 programs run together(<---just asked about puting a file in a file)/sigh
but how hard would it be to make sparks or lights place them properly and run them on a loop.
can all the scripts be the same for like a control c control v thing? and maby a location swap instructions?

(why is it when you guys explane its easy to understand and the text is so ??)

No, the lights aren't script. You can control how the lights work with Java script......I think. Lights on ships are referred to as "flashers" in the shipdata.plist. They are a subentity, like ball turrets, or making some part rotate (that looks like a nightmare to me). Scripts are suppose to work with the Oolite game, and your own personal AIs to make specific things happen in an oxp. I'm no expert at it, so I shouldn't be explaining it, but I think that's right. If not, someone chime in and put me in my place, please. :D

As for how you learn, or understand? That's different for every person, so don't sweat it. :)
