Just what I wanted *evil laugh*. It is not applicable to other ships? Or player ships?

sure, just change the weapon-type into a thargoid laser in the shipdata.plist.

for playerships you'd need to award it as EQ_THARGOID_LASER or something.
It's available in the shipyard, but a little techlevel change in the equipment.plist would chance that.

please don't though.

What, don't give Opus Chaotica a Thargoid Laser?
When Player-owned, would it still do what them Thargoids do?
Would it still just shoot at my selected target or whatever? Or would it just go poof.
and how EEEEEEXACTLY do i convert .obj to .dat on a Win XP Obj2DatTex.py?

Good. I love Bab 5 and my goal was for something shadow-esque. I have a queeeeeeeestion: How do thargoids shoot in 'all directions'. They seem to be able to shoot me no matter the facing; Regard, could this be applied to Dark Orion ships?

Yes, you can do this (sort of). In the shipdata.plist use:

Code: Select all

		<key>forward_weapon_type</key>
		<string>WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER</string>

You can also change the laser beam color:

Code: Select all

		<key>laser_color</key>
		<string>whiteColor</string>

Oooo, I knew about the color thing. So a player ship with a Tharg laser would not have to aim so much? explain. I mean, will it just shoot straight

Or go at my target?

I don't think it works on a player ship, only on an NPC ship.

Don't be a groygan, he has.

How do I use the script on the .obj? I'm clueless on a Windows.

What are you talking about?

thargoid lasers or converting obj to dat?

You need to convert your .obj to .dat.

I had similar difficulty when I built my first ship, but once you know how it's easy. Anyway take a look at this thread https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t= ... c&start=15 for the help you need.

I'm back from the dead...
I can't find the model for the Opus Chaotica, or the Hona.
Not much of a loss, though.
Expect the Opus Chaotica someday.
And expect it to hurt.

Laaaast but not least, the Opus Chaotica:

Musings:

Is it possible in Oolite to design a "ship" which changes shape all the time - a roiling bundle of chaos, so to speak?

There are hints that it works:
- viewtopic.php?p=276754#p276754
- The Imperial Courier has constantly rotating somethings (is it the engines?)

Isn't Thargoid's butterflies with flapping wings the biggest step in that direction?
