On that topic: Yes, it keeps big ships from docking. But it generates so many big ships that I had a Behemoth (which is supposed to occur relatively rarely if I understand it correctly) in almost every system, sometimes as many as three of them. That felt so wrong that I removed the BigShips OXP again...ADCK wrote:just remember to make it use BigShips OXP or it'll try to dock
Funny, specially when considering that "BigShips OXP " only adds ships with a big ship role and the behemoths don't contain such a role.maik wrote:On that topic: Yes, it keeps big ships from docking.

By default, even when no dock is defined, it is: (69, 69, 250). Although that might not be enough for all ships. But with a real dock it takes that dimensions and even without a real dock you can use a shipkey to set it.Thargoid wrote:Also what about stations which don't have a dock specifically defined? By default they wouldn't allow docking either?
I don't know if it is going in. But as it was a simple addition to Oolites code :Thargoid wrote:Eric - minor nitpick, it should be TOO_BIG_TO_DOCK.
.... But if that's possibly going in, why not again consider inclusion of the bigTrader role into the trunk populator (using the same algorithm as the OXP one perhaps) and do away with the OXP solution completely?
Code: Select all
BoundingBox bb = [ship boundingBox];
if (port_dimensions.x < (bb.max.x - bb.min.x) || port_dimensions.y < (bb.max.y - bb.min.y))
{
return instructions(universalID, ship->position, 0, 100, @"TOO_BIG_TO_DOCK", nil, NO);
}
Anyhow, It will need more testing and discussion before it goes in. Currently I now send the ships away with a sunskim ai, but It might need a new one like the big ship one.If you only have one ship that uses the 'BigTrader' role, it will appear alot, as was the case with dredgers on your PC. It would be like if only the Python had the 'trader' role it would be the only ship you see in space lanes besides pirates. BigShips needs a few ships with the role to work realistically, but as of right now there are only 2 or 3 OXP's that use it, Orisis, Aurora, Bulk Haulers and Dredgers are the only ones I can think of.maik wrote:On that topic: Yes, it keeps big ships from docking.

Mmmh, understood. So I guess there currently is no property for a ship that defines the likelihood of encountering it? I'll file it as a suggestion.BigShips needs a few ships with the role to work realistically
Yeay! I'm looking forward that!More info on that in the coming weeks
There is, but only if there are other ships with the same role, if there's only one ship with the role, it defaults to 100%.maik wrote:Mmmh, understood.

The Shuttle is very Star Trek:TOS - and therefore I like it!ADCK wrote:Some pics of the Lifter and Interplanetary Shuttle (using basic textures)
Click pic for larger view..
Same thought here. The Lifter is very cool, but that Shuttle is, well it's ugly, box-like, un-imposing, and probably one of the nicest little spaceships I've ever seenDaddyHoggy wrote:The Shuttle is very Star Trek:TOS - and therefore I like it!
I want one!Exactly what I was thinking when I was creating it heheDaddyHoggy wrote:The Shuttle is very Star Trek:TOS
