Oolite Bulletins

Very nice, indeed!

I agreed, the new Moray does look very nice.

Give that man a doughnut!

So how do we get these in game?

(Idiots guide to playing Oolite required here.)

Indeeed, my eybrd ot wrkng wel frm m y droolng ovr thes ships.

So where did the previous versions go?
They were very nice as well.

No-one's touched the previous versions. They're still fine.

I might package up what I've done and make it available. Note though that there may be some slight inaccuracies with the exhausts, laser locations and viewpoints since I haven't got the resources to extensively test this lot...

If you make them available as wings files, anyone with a bit of spare time can fix those.

Wow Selezen, those Morays look the business! These are really a leap forward in comparison with the originals. Great great great
(Though I liked your first version too.)


Give the man another donut!

CaptnKev: I do like the Thargoid, but like other people it's hard to beat the original, strangely enough...

You shouldn't need the Wings files to sort the exhausts and stuff - they're all set by the PLIST...

<munches another donut>

I'll do what I can though.

You'd need the wings files for the actual coordinates to set them at, though.

<stops munching on donut in order to show perplexed expression>

Do the Wings co-ordinates correspond to the numbers in the DAT files then?

I normally try using the numbers from the dat...

They should do.

They do, so it makes it easy to find the coordinates of the center point of the exhaust thingy that one has designed and thus accurately place the exhaust plume...

Yes, the easiest way to determine where a viewpoint/exhaust point/weapon point, should go, is to load the model in Wings, and either find (or, if necessary place) a vertex at your desired location. the coords for your weapon/view/exhast, etc, are those of the vertex, as show top left of screen.
