Griff's normalmapped ship remakes

[Griff]

it's traditional for there to be loads of confusion when i pop out an oxp, OK, here's links to the files - i guess i could go directly to gimi's folder as i was logged into box when testing the link and had share permissions to it

[Gimi]

Er no... I think that needs a log-in! Now I'm confused.

Ok, I just checked, and according to the settings the folder should be shareable, not just the files. I'll let Griff control that though.

[Cody]

It's cool... by hook or by crook, I've got the new bundle, and the new standalone Ico!

[Commander McLane]

To be honest: I like the first version more. I even liked the orange colour.

A humble suggestion:
What I generally don't like so much about all Griff stations is the text/numbers on the texture. As other people already said, for instance the Ico conveys nicely a sense of size. But for me the big letters (or numbers) painted on it take this sense away again. Nobody would paint a word hundreds of meters long, or a number hundreds of meters big. Thus for me the big text makes the whole station optically smaller, which is a pity. So, is there any chance for alternative textures without text or numbers or symbols?

[Griff]

yes that's a good point about the text, i'll sort out a version without it, I'm not going back to orange though
edit: done! https://www.box.com/s/p3grax1d58b7ye9t50zk drop the maps from this download into yur Ico Textures folder overwriting the ones in there

[Cody]

How is that for fast service, eh? I'll try them myself, I think... cheers.

Another confusion: the above link is not for the fullsize bundle, but for griff_ico_normalmapped_fullsize_tex_v1.1.oxp.

Is there a link to the fullsize bundle?

[Cody]

Is there a link to the fullsize bundle?

Yes, on Griff's Wiki page.

Yes, on Griff's Wiki page.

Ah, found it.

Another confusion: the above link is not for the fullsize bundle, but for griff_ico_normalmapped_fullsize_tex_v1.1.oxp.

Is there a link to the fullsize bundle?

It's on the Deep Horizon site. There is a link to it from the  Griff Industries page or here for the direct link.

[Commander McLane]

Yay! All done!

Not wanting to disturb the party, but I think the buoys are still missing, aren't they?

[Cody]

Not wanting to disturb the party, but I think the buoys are still missing, aren't they?

Yep... but Cmdr Cheyd's Nav Buoy was made with Griff's help, fits the set nicely, and looks very cool.

Actually Griff, you ought to add a link to Cheyd's nav buoy on your Wiki page, just for completeness!

I found this error in the log just now:

Code: Select all

17:21:52.875 [script.load.notFound]: ***** Could not find a script file named griff_spawn_biggerrock_chunk.js.

[ZygoUgo]

Sorry need to change that back for the Zygoroids upload, I made a larger version of Griffs script for my own set.
Might as well fetch an Ico whilst I'm here
