Griff's normalmapped ship remakes

[dertien]

OOh dear, I feel an update of other system stations is hanging in the air.

Hey Griff, a little question:

1) what is the font you used to make the numbers on the stations and could you put that up for download somewhere (ttf file).

Never mind Griff, I found it.

Nice stations and new Cobra Mk 3 variant mate, congratulations.

[Griff]

Just in case anyone else is interested, the font used for the numbers is "Bio Disc" which i got from here:
http://www.1001freefonts.com/bfonts5.php
Ahruman's Distance mapping shader code is used to stencil it into the final shader result in-game which slightly rounds some of it's edges.

The font used to write 'Galcop' on the hull was a rip-off clone i found on the internet of the DIN 1541 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1451 ) font, but looks like i didn't keep the link to that i'm afraid

How did I miss this? Great work Griff!

That number 1541 brings back memories....

Yep... Anyone up for orchestrating a couple of them to play the oolite theme song?

[Griff]

I dont think i ever saw a C64 disk drive, i only had that 'datasette' tape drive or what ever it was called - in it's later years i had to rest a heavy encyclopedia on top of it when loading up a game, seemed to help it concentrate some how!

Hi Griff,

LOL...I had the same experience with my datasette as well. My intention to write here is more because I do wanna contact you in private or via mail. But I was unable to find something like a mail address. I am a boardgame desigener and I designed ELITE - The Boardgame and need to talk to you as I have some legal questions to your designs. I would be very thankfull, if you could send me a mail on [email protected]. MAny thanks in advance.

Cheers

Found the 'soundtrack' of a diskdrive playing "fur Elise". It was very amazing when I heard it the first time. The diskdrive was fully programmable. You could have full control over the speed and reading-head position. (4 steps for going from track to track so that you even could read between the tracks) No separate disk controller but a 6502 processor and a 8 kB rom commanding it. (or was it 16 kB ?) You could download the whole diskdrive rom to the c64 and examine the code there. I altered it a bit so reading disks was 6x faster than the original drive

I'm impressed - I bought the Excellerator+ from Evesham Micros for my C64 simply because the 1541 I had was soooooooo slow! If only I'd known!

Could a wiki wizard please add a pic of Griff's new Dodo station to the gallery on his wiki page.

Problem with Core shipset Replacement 1.1

Oolite version 1.76, full shaders
If Core shipset Replacement 1.1 is installed, i see this error in the logs :

00:11:16.453 [shader.uniform.unpermittedMethod]: Did not bind uniform "alertlevel" to property -[ShipEntity alertCondition] - unpermitted method.
It appears only 1 time.

If i remove Core shipset Replacement 1.1 and install Core shipset Addition 1.0 , no errors are shown.

I've looked at Griff_Shipset_Replace_v1.1.oxp/Config/shipdata.plist and every ship in there has

Code: Select all

alertlevel = alertCondition;

.

Note : I haven't noticed any problems during gameplay.

[Cody]

Seems to be a fact of life, that error message... it has no effect on gameplay at all.
Something to do with the spinning Cobra at start-up ( I think).

Could someone who has downloded Griff_Shipset_Resources (version 1.2.22 - February 12 2012) recently confirm that this file is not corrupted:-

15:07:40.234 [files.notFound]: ----- WARNING: Could not find texture file "griff_cobra_mk3_scuffed_mainhull_diffuse_spec.png".

Windows refused to unzip that file for me - the rest are fine - but I don't know whether it was corrupted when the download was interrupted, or whether it's corrupted on the server copy. I ain't gonna download the whole thing again to find out.

Also, I'll confirm Lone Wolf's report:-

15:07:52.905 [shader.uniform.unpermittedMethod]: Did not bind uniform "alertlevel" to property -[ShipEntity alertCondition] - unpermitted method.
