RFC: re-squared-dux ...

[spara]

Amah is not alone - if I can, I too avoid google!

Don't we all . But if one really wants to catch Simon through it, there are ways to do it.

[Diziet Sma]

You know, you can always create a bogus email, if you really want to.

This is what I'd do.. and while I was at it, use the chance to feed Google a whole bunch of bogus data. You might even say it's your moral obligation to do so.. as expressed by R.A. Heinlein's character, Friday.

with all governments everywhere tightening down on everything wherever they can, with their computers and their Public Eyes and ninety-nine other sorts of electronic surveillance, there is a moral obligation on each free person to fight back wherever possible -- keep underground railways open, keep shades drawn, give misinformation to computers. Computers are literal-minded and stupid; electronic records aren't really records...so it is good to be alert to opportunities to foul up the system. If you can't evade a tax, pay a little too much to confuse their computers. Transpose digits. And so on...

Fixing the ubertharg was quite straight forward.
Download ubertharg-pre1.zip and re2dux.zip from Simon's box account.
copy thargon-dux2.dat from re2dux/Models to ubertharg/Models
Just replace shipdata.plist in ubertharg.oxp/Config with the following:

Code: Select all

{
	"uthargun" =
	{
		aft-weapon-type = "WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER";
		forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER";
		ai_type = "dumbAI.plist";
		cargo_type = "CARGO_NOT_CARGO";
		laser_color = "greenColor";
		model = "thargon-dux2.dat";
		name = "Thargoid Hardpoint";
		roles = "thargoid-hardpoint";
		scan_class = "CLASS_THARGOID";
	};

	"utharg-core" =
	{
		aft_weapon_type = "WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER";
		ai_type = "dumbAI.plist";
		cargo_type = "CARGO_NOT_CARGO";
		forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER";
		laser_color = "greenColor";
		model = "ubertharg-core.dat";
		name = "Thargoid Hardpoint";
		roles = "ubertharg-component";
		rotating = "true";
		scan_class = "CLASS_THARGOID";
		materials = 
		   { 
		      "ubertharg.png" =
		      { 
			diffuse_map = "ubertharg.png";
		        emission_map = { name = "ubertharg-glows.png"; };
			specular_map = {name = "ubertharg.png"};
		      }; 
		   };
	};

	"ubertharg" =
	{
		like_ship="oolite_template_thargoid";
		aft_eject_position = "0.0 0.0 0.0";
		missile_launch_position = "0.0 0.0 -20.5";
		model = "ubertharg.dat";
		roles = "thargoid(0.5) thargoid-mothership(0.5)";
		frangible = "false";
		materials = 
		   { 
		      "ubertharg.png" =
		      { 
			diffuse_map = "ubertharg.png";
		        emission_map = { name = "ubertharg-glows.png"; };
			specular_map = {name = "ubertharg.png"};
		      }; 
		   };

		subentities =
		  (
			"utharg-core 0 0 0  1 0 0 0",
			"uthargun 	   0  160  25  1 0 0 0",
			"uthargun 	   0 -160  25  1 0 0 0",
			"uthargun 	 160    0  25  1 0 0 0",
			"uthargun 	-160    0  25  1 0 0 0",
			"*FLASHER*	   0    0 -39 180 0 0 100",
			"*FLASHER*	   0    0 -39 180 0 0  90"
		  );
	};
}

have fun.

I've added Simon Bridge's excellent re-textured core ship set, upgraded with shaders borrowed from Griff's GalMine Hopper for Random Hits OXP. They fit nicely between the low poly originals and Griff's Normalmapped ships.

They fit nicely between the low poly originals and Griff's Normalmapped ships.

Indeed. I look forward to trying them out with the shaders

Will you be publishing this at any stage?

[Griff]
