greetings ooliters,
i just spent last two days checking out the elite type offerings for linux and after much installing, building and playing oolite comes out the best
, but I have one annoying issue.
i'm running 1.71 on fc8 (installed from .package file) on amd64 with GeForce FX 5200.
when in game play or checking info on any planet the rendering is off. i see a bunch of transparent polygons instead of the nice solid planets i see in screen shots.
i tried 1.65 and had same. building oolite is a pain on fedora cos the gnustep stuff isn't in repos and i've seen lots of posts about issues with it.
any ideas appreciated.
TTFN.

Just what I was thinking, looks rather funky...

We'll call this planet "Ikea".... because it looks like it's made of chipboard

I believe previous occurrences of this bug have been fixed by installing up-to-date hardware drivers.

Splendid - more acceptable but somehow - less "cool"

Sorry for the late reply (was away for a couple of weeks).
Why don't you try
System_Redux.oxp ? It's definitely an optical improvement, as far as planets are concerned.
, but I have one annoying issue.
