The' Bump' is now the right way round, there is just waaaay to much of it, think it needs to be toned down a bit - I've stopped using Photoshop for this as GIMP really does handle it much better (!!). Thanks again to Griff for the tutorial: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=3460&start=285

I just need to fix the decals now and get the cockpit put in and it'll be finished.

Actually, quick question. How do you add flashers using JavaScript? A red flasher to be precise. And is there a formula for placing the exterior cameras - I want to have one inside the cargo bay.

looking good - if a little sandpapery!

Yep, that'll be the over-use of bump. I'll tone it right down.

Okay here it is to download:

And here's a picture of the Asp I'm working on. Based on the speed at which I churn stuff out, I reckon this'll be finished in oooooh another 2 years!! (I'll try and be a little quicker this time).

Thanks again to Griff for his help converting the obj models of the Anaconda, and his help with the shaders too.

Now that's the sort of replacement ship which we should have. Improved design, better texturing and no major design deviations from the original (unlike some other replacements which I could mention).

thanks guys. I'm glad you like it. The coding is a little rough in the shipdata.plist but I've been trying to work out those external camera positions. (what would be nice is if we had a camera.position #,#,# and a camera.target #,#,#).

Anyway, it sort of looks okay, here's the cargo bay view (it's just for show though, the amount of cargo doesn't change). I wanted to point the camera the other way to try and replicate the image of the Anaconda cargo bay in the old Elite instruction manual.

Very nice indeed

I nice looking ship. Good job.

I’ve noticed a couple of problems with this OXP however. There is something up with the collision detection as I could pass through the body of the ship without a scratch.

Also, and this may just be a coincidence, there was 4 outside the station after I added this expansion. Are they supposed to be that common? Perhaps you had them set to be spammed for testing and forgot to downgrade the frequency for the release of the OXP.

Cargo Bay View - good idea!

What I like the most about it are the engines. Big ships should have many engines like this.
