Hey everyone!
@zevans:
I would cooperate for a "light" version of OSE for lower-spec systems, but I would not be able to spend a lot of time on it. I have been spending 10-15 hour weeks of work on this for the last months and am now coming into a state of mind where I want to be done with it, and be just a player again for a longer time. (Not that I won't have to do bugfixes, merge future ship oxps in, update ships oxps that get updated also in/for OSE etc. etc.) - You see where I'm heading.
But if someone does it, I will help with information and suggestions, if it is wished, and would also offer download space on my box account for it.
@LittleBear:
If RS is already bogging your system down then a light OSE version will really be nescessary - it takes noticably more system resources to run that RS. The problem with Milinks ressource-eating station (SIRF Shipyards ingame) I tried to solve by putting it away from the main station Aegis into outer space. That way, the station should only be drawn in full when you are "out there" and there is not a lot of traffic there (usually, at least
)
The OoBay Auction stations seem to have take over the part of bogging down reasources at the Aegis, though
@ClymAngus:
Then I feel honoured that you feel honoured
I would suggest to use the maps that have the biggest potential for the future. I have given up on trying to save download size. OSE will probably range in the 270 MB size alone when ready to be published, and concerning future flash work I think the idea of a zoomable map is very cool (and useful!).
So I would use the most impressive and promising maps you produce for adding them in.
OSE V1.0 will probably be ready in early September at my current rate (if I keep to that), but I will have to update OSE regularly anyways, so whenever your maps are ready, I will add them in.
@Griff:
Your ships really are ... well you know. Sadly, my §%$§%$ Vista doesn't do full shaders
They don't seem to bog down my system a lot, though. I found a few hiccups in the normalmapped versions of your ships, solved them, I'll write you a PM about that.
Please, please keep them coming
That is Oolite at its best - spirit of cooperation!
Cheers everyone
