Main station variety

[Cholmondely]

Captain Beatnik did a lot of imagining around Riredi.

See Sector1/Riredi for a selection of his lore and links to the rest.




There are equivalents in Lave, Tionisla (TOGY & TCA: 6 OXPs - did you explore much there?), Tianve (1 OXP) and Lerelace (needs the Taranis OXP). DGill's Feudal States OXP Suite does something with the lore for Digebiti, Aronar & Tibecea (especially Tibecea). Also Aruszati (with Rescue Stations OXP). And  Jaguar Company hides stations in some dangerous systems. As does  HIMSN (but in a mere handful dotted across the Eight).

I'd love to do more for Digebiti but lack the skills. Daddyhoggy had hopes for Sector1/Teorge and Alnivel had hopes for Sector1/Zarece but got clobbered by ex-comrade Putin.



See  Exploration for the other galaxies.



If you decide to start again with a new  Jameson, you could have a bash with  Hermitage (take the "easy start" in Rexebe) and add in  Diplomancy, Phkb's "Rexebe Citizen" & [wiki]Mandotech Station & Shipyards[/wiki].

I kind of wonder though why the Riredi OXP makes the nebulae in the sky look so different from everywhere else. (I assume it's the one doing it, at least.) I don't necessarily dislike them, but it's a bit noticeable when you jump in from a neighbouring system and suddenly the sky is completely different.

I think the answer is right there. To make the system look different to everywhere else.

Yeah, but nebulae are the sort of thing that's visible from interstellar distances. It feels weird that you can see them there but not at the neighbouring systems.

You can tweak the numbers if you want. In the planetinfo.plist file, the entries you want to play with are:

Code: Select all

        sky_blur_cluster_chance = 0.80; // chance of adding nebula
        sky_blur_scale = 10; // size of nebula created
        sky_n_blurs = 600; // defines how many nebula to create (normal is around 80)

The last one is quite elevated over normal.

Mm, I'm using the manager version, though. Is it possible to override parts of a managed add-on so I don't need to re-tweak whenever there's an update?

You could try creating a planetinfo.plist file in your AddOns folder (probably create a subfolder called "ZZ_MyTweaks.oxp" or something like that to try and force it to load last). Add a "Config" folder, and put the file in there.
The content would look like this:

Code: Select all

{
	"0 210" = {
	        sky_blur_cluster_chance = 0.80;
        	sky_blur_scale = 10;
	        sky_n_blurs = 600;
	};
}

That should work in you keep the Riredi.OXP as a managed addons. I think. Maybe. YMMV.

I'll give it a try!

You could try creating a planetinfo.plist file in your AddOns folder (Read what the sensible man below suggests. probably create a subfolder called "ZZ_MyTweaks.oxp" or something like that to try and force it to load last). Add a "Config" folder, and put the file in there.

The content should look like this:

Code: Select all

{
	"0 210" = {
		layer = 2;
	        sky_blur_cluster_chance = 0.80;
        	sky_blur_scale = 10;
	        sky_n_blurs = 600;
	};
}

That should work if you keep the Riredi.OXP as a managed addon.
