Neat.
Gives a complete different
feel to playing Oolite.
#1. In the Galactic Chart screen:
The computer voice tells me that advanced mapping is disabled. That's weird, I went and verified that my advanced navigational array was not broken - it's fine.
I see some options on the right side (toggle mapping, toggle areas, toggle lanes, etc) - I tried clicking on them, didn't work. I went to the readme file - I had read it already, but hey - better do it again before posting here.
Under Features; it says that this is supported. How it is done, I don't know. See paragraph above this one.
Next, I thought that it maybe requires oxp config to work, like suggested in the readme. I went and read up about that. Looks like a programming tool to me. < scratch head >
#2. I love the computer voice, don't get me wrong. But there seems to be some conflict with the Talking Compass oxp. They both say the same thing sometimes, and when they say so0mething different, makes it hard to figure what is being said.
#3. It sounds like there is an engine sound that kicks in when you increase the speed, activate jump drives, etc. It does not go off if you are in a different view screen from the time you did that.
For example; when I sun skim, I do so from the aft view, because my eyes get sore from staring into the star all the time from the frontal view. My jump drives are on - but my regular engines are off (if you are a new player, don't do this). Once I'm mass locked by the sun itself, the jump drives are cut, and the sound goes away. This seems like what this oxp intends. Now then, when I go to the front view (or port, starboard), even though I have no engine running - I hear the engine sounds, like if I was at full speed. But - if I return to the aft view, the engine sounds have ceased.
When I enter witchspace - sometimes I want to be not moving at all, and other times I want to be at full speed - depending on the tactical situation I am anticipating on the other side. When I'm powering down during the remaining countdown to witch jump, the engine noise is at max when I exit (or enter) into the new system. When I do the opposite, I'll have either no sound, or intermittent engine noise.
Your readme wants some information from me:
Oolite version: 1.76.1
Operating System: Windows 7
Graphics card and driver version: I don't know. (But... Thargoid helped me fix my computer a while ago, he might be able to give you that information)
EDIT: Card = ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics, Driver = ATI Technologies Inc. 8.733.0.0
Fullscreen / Windowed mode: I use both. Fullscreen mostly. Windowed when I'm waiting for clearance to dock, and I'm late in the que.
Shadder Mode: If that is what is under Shadder Effects, in the Game Options, in the F2 screen - then it is set to Full.
List of used oxps, include versions: Are you serious? If so, then I'll see if I can somehow copy and paste them here, but will take a lot of room.
