nebula and star textures in 1.69.1.1-mac

Commander McLane · Post by **Commander McLane** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 9:53 am

Accidentally I entered a planet's atmosphere the other day, and when I turned and wanted to leave again the sky looked like this (the small blue square above the crosshairs is the station):

I think that must have something to do with the new nebula-textures (and probably those of the stars as well, I don't think there were that much nebula on the sky) and the way they are handled.

Confirmed. Bleh.

Yes, those are nebulae. They’re more subtle than they look. :-)

I'm running ArchLinux with an Nvidia card and I was about to report this problem.

I hope it's resolved soon!

Hi, Lava Croft, and welcome to the boards!

You should know that Oolite is under development. All releases after 1.65 are in alpha or beta stage. So if you are playing with them and encounter problems/bugs/crashes, please report them here. This will help very much improving the game towards a next stable release.

If you, however, prefer to just play, you should install Oolite 1.65, which is the latest "official" release and generally very stable.

And again, welcome to the boards and of course to this great game itself!

Yay, a newcomer!
Even though someone beat me to the red carpet, I'll say it anyway: welcome, Lava!

Hi Lava Croft, have you tried updating your drivers and reinstalling, that may help.

Not necessarily, as this is already a confirmed bug. See the second post of the thread:

Thank you for the warm welcome, and thank you for a seriously addictive game!

I have the latest drivers for my card and everything is set up correctly. Apart from that, the moments I actually experience the bug are so rare I do not really mind.

Keep up the great work!

Oh, and what I wanted to say for a long time now: Those nebula don't look subtle at all!

huh, i haven't even switched from the starting ship to a supercobra... i guess i need to read over what can be purchased for each ship on the wiki again.

My advice: skip the SuperCobra, go for the Imperial Courier directly. It's an awesome ship (and it has rotating subentities as well

)!
