YOUR AD HERE!!! 300 ads (sets A, B, C, D, E, F & G)

[spara]

Oh yeah, I don't know if it applies to your Constore gambling version, but in a Hoopy Casino the other day I was playing Hold 'Em and had a straight, but it said I lost for having only a pair.

I tried to break it with numerous different hands and just could not get it to happen . We'll just have to wait for it to happen again and hopefully getting a screenshot.

I wrapped the extra ads salvaged from this thread together and created a new OXP out of them and added it to the manager. It's named "Your Ad Here More Ads" and it adds 116 new ads to YAH! as witchpoint and navigation buoys. Enjoy .

Your Ad Here Constores Only OXP has been updated to 1.0.1 to include "Your Ad Here More Ads".

Now you creative people out there can make new ads to your hearts content . Adding them to the new OXP is dead simple.

I've updated the Two and a Half Large Bug-Eyed Lizards image. I added one to the season number just in case it's not immediately obvious which is the changed image (new one is season 352).

Bugger. I'll try to catch it. For future cases, a screen shot of the case would be awesome for me to replicate the exact situation.

Actually I did save it! I just hadn't uploaded it yet... http://www.keeper1st.com/Oolite/hoopyerror.png
I should have a straight of 5-6-7-8-9, but it says I only have a pair of 7s.

And if someone comes up with a new brand with nice neons and everything so that there is a new station, then it's time for a new YAH set.

Of course, I did that already, changing one of the two Star stores into GalaxyMart (parody of FamilyMart).
Going with the idea of parodies of big Japanese chains, we could do Lawsoon (parody of Lawson).

Thank you sir, you're awesome! Bug found and fixed. I'll be uploading a new version of YAH Gem Casino after I'm finished with the other changes I'm doing to the whole set. I'll pm eric about Hoopy Casino.

Could you zip what you've done, share it with me and I'll add the new ads. And make it work with the changes I've been doing lately. And then we'll have a new set H!

The main OXP and alphabet sets have been updated to 4.4 and more_ads set to 1.1.
* More logic has been moved to the main OXP to make this monster easier to maintain.
* Ads now shine as they should.
* Libervurto's new ad can be found from the more_ads set.

Gem Casino has been updated to 1.0.1. The bug Keeper reported has been fixed.

I had an idea to make the billboards look more realistic, but I don't know how to do it myself.
Make realistic RGB component pixels, like we see in real screens, by separating the RGB colour values for each image pixel and lighting each of the individual R, G and B elements of the billboard pixels accordingly. The resulting image is of course three times the size of the original image.

Anyone like that idea? Want to try coding it?

I am working on another ad, for Tioranian Viscious Brew. The tagline will be "Save some fer the Cap'n!" and feature a pirate skeleton.

Something like that can be seen on the asteroid billboards. Those use some fancy shader magic.

Would be nice . Not my forte, though .

Looking forward to it.

Well, I have the GalaxyMart store and defenders in the YAH Haulers OXP, changing set D to the GalaxyMart (since in the base YAH there are two "Star" brand stores unnecessarily). It's done through overrides and a separate shipdata, and like the rest of YAH Haulers OXP, makes each station have different colors (as of now YAH still has them all the same color on the top, using a generic "yah_griff_station_top" subentity entry instead of different ones for each station).

I'll have to consider making a LAWSOON store and defenders for a set H...

Ok. You do have a point there. I'm a bit hesitant of such a drastic change though. The OXP has a very long history as you know. I'll have to ponder it a bit. And if anyone has an opinion, I'm happy to hear it.

Another option would of course be leaving the D set untouched and making a H set around your GalaxyMart.

as of now YAH still has them all the same color on the top, using a generic "yah_griff_station_top" subentity entry instead of different ones for each station

It's still borked? Why, oh why can't I get things done correctly on one try . Sorry folks, it seems I'll be making one more update of the whole set.

I'll have to consider making a LAWSOON store and defenders for a set H...

Please do . We have enough ads for two new sets.

Just noticed something odd, which may be due to OXP overload or something, but I've got the oolite.oxp.spara.yah_constores_only.oxz pack installed, along with oolite.oxp.Thargoid.YAH-WitchpointOverride.oxz, so I thought I'd only ever get the standard beacon at the witchpoint, but I'm still seeing billboard appear there (current location is Veesqu (G7), TL12 Corp state).

For reference, these are all the YAH-related packs I have installed (I think):

Code: Select all

oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetA.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetB.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetC.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetD.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetE.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetF.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH-SetG.oxz
oolite.oxp.DrNil.YAH.oxz
oolite.oxp.Keeper.YAH_Haulers_GriffR.oxz
oolite.oxp.spara.yah_constores_only.oxz
oolite.oxp.spara.yah_gem_casino.oxz
oolite.oxp.spara.yah_more.oxz
oolite.oxp.Thargoid.YAH-WitchpointOverride.oxz

Have I broken something?

Looks like more bugs for me to iron out. Basically, if you want to get rid of all the other billboards than the constore's navigational billboard, constores_only should suffice. So there's obviously something wrong there. I'll look into it. Big thanks for the details, they make bug hunting so much easier.

...but I'm still seeing billboard appear there

I probably found the culprit. A stupid typo in shipdata . I fixed it and uploaded a new version (1.0.2) of the Constores Only oxp. That should(tm) fix the issue.

As a reminder:

* YAH-WitchpointOverride removes the witchpoint billboards.
* yah_constores_only removes all billboards (witchpoint billboards, main station navigational billboards and asteroid billboards) except the ones used as constore navigational buoy.

Had a quick look at things and yes, I think it's sensible to replace the other Star with GalaxyMart brand. I take it that's ok with you. I'll compare your work with the original and make the required changes. And fix the tops too. Not tonight though, got to sleep.

Keeper, GalaxyMart has different color top and bottom. It looks intentional, but on the other hand it differs from the other stations. Just to make sure, is it intentional?
