I wrote him a PM about it, but he hasn't even read it yet ...

Yeah I sent him a PM on the 27th of February, and again its still unread.

Maybe he's gone to the same place as TGHC and Maegil?

Marooned in the caribbean? What are they all doing there?

Oolite in the sun?

Perhaps I should get marooned, too, then. Here in Austria for weeks it has only had rain, rain, rain, rain.

I heard he was abducted by aliens and then he escaped but retuned to earth 2 months later only able to speak about himself in third-person!!!

But yeah, I got the PM, I think I can whip up another one in little time, after dinner I'll make one, will only take a min to do.

Was made in a bit of a rush, but that should do the job. (meaning it's untested, but should still work)

and as a bonus, it should also fix the escape pod not being capturable issue.

But as is the original neolites, It still has the same exhaust-placement issues, that would be an annoying bug to fix, I believe there were also camera issues too... Maybe Simon B will update it oneday?

Just follow the instuctions in the readme, is not installed like a normal oxp, as its only replacement files.

Updates when I can extract the last set of files from my old HDD.

In the meantime - I've been speculating about the other stations again:

... I think there are too many logos - the idea is to do this in the same coppery/rusty style as the coriolis.

Y'know, I was never really happy with the neolite wolf II:


Since I'm also helping Griff where I can, I thought I'd make an effort to be more griff-friendly.

Nice!

I really like the new station too, I was thinking once of making more stations (I did make 1 military one, which I plan on releasing when the rest of the package is ready)
Likely if I ever do make more stations, they'll be geometric shapes in keeping with the elite theme, always wanted a pyramid station.
Another idea I had for a station was a ring station that completely surrounds a planet like a belt, but I don't think it could be done, and if it could it would likely slow even the beefiest of computers

Hope your PC get's well soon hehe.

Razz station?

Isocohedron station textures.

... remembering that these pics have no normalmap or specular.

left: the blue would glow.
middle: very coppery, shiny bits raised.
right: more of a matt finish, the blue bits ore raised.

I think the one on the left without the blue stuff.

However: this is actually the coriolis layout, with diamonds instead of squares! I could use the coriolis style, and use this style on the dodo.

... isoc textures like the coriolis ... I rigged the uv-map so I don't have to have the logo-circle thing around the outside, just front and back. To get this though, I'll need a similarly rustified alien-hull texture without them ... how about it?

Trying out the previous isoc textures on the dodo looks like this. I also got rid of the extraneous logos.

The finished product should have lights inside the dock - the reason being that on a dark texture the lighting anomaly (no self shadows) is very obvious.
