Billboard?

Is there a generic 'billboard' in Oolite I can summon up and wrap a texture around? It only needs to be dumb, no AI required.

I'm looking for a floating advert type thing.

I had a look through the your ad here code, but it's beyond my comprehension!

Cheers,

Drew.

I have renamed the necessary files for you and collected them in a mini-OXP that you can merge with your own OXP.

You can download it here:
Tianve billboards

I made a demoships file and gave each billboard a unique texture to see if the billboards would show at all. They all appear on the demoships screen.

The updated version is located at the same url:
Tianve billboards

I cannot test them in-game. I've played Elite and Oolite with joystick/joypad since the 8-bit days. I don't have any at the moment and using the keyboard I fly like a donkey on megaweed.
