Alternativ escape capsule models

[CommonSenseOTB]

Shipbuilder, I have a specific need for an escape capsule based on the core game model that has serious damage to it like a whole corner missing and cracked glass and the texture should look like it has been burned really bad with smoke damage marring the texture, not much color, pretty charcoal-like. I will use it in CustomShields.oxp if you make it.

Quiet day at the golf club so I sketched a few example pods.

Just need to model them now.

@ CommonsenseOTB - I have a couple of small projects that I am helping people with having said that it will probably only be a couple of days work.

I will be very happy to look at a damaged escape pod model towards the end of the week. Oh and by the way your CustomShields oxp looks very impressive.

[Shipbuilder]

@ Tricky - You have some good concepts their I look forward to seeing them when you have modelled them. I also aim to post some screenshots of some pods shortly.

Just a thought would it be possible to include a number of pod models in an oxp and have Oolite randomly select from the range of pods included ?

Yes, just set

Code: Select all

roles = "escape-capsule";

in their shipdata.

Thanks Smivs.

Does anyone have some screenshots, schematics or other references for a core game escape pod model referred to in CommonSenceOTB's post above ?

Hope this helps.

Accessories OXP version using the default model

Thanks Smivs - This is just what I was looking for.

I don't suppose you know what the dimenions are do you ?

Those should be in its .dat file in the core Oolite folder.

Not quite as precise, though: model size: 7.165 x 6.410 x 6.188

Well, I never said the Wiki was right!

Ok gents - To get the ball rolling have a look at this initial concept version
