Oolite Bulletins

That bug came up before in one of the older versionsof the shipset, i can't remember what it was now exactly other than that it was some mistake i made trying to tweak the oxp
i've uploaded replacements for the griff_normalmap_ships.vertex & griff_ferdelance_player_mainhull.fragment shader files here: http://www.box.net/shared/m6t0l2jcs940urtz5v1f if you overwrite the ones in the oxp with these then the log error whould be fixed and the fer-de-lance should appear all properly shaded in game

Griff, I only downloaded your all-in-one last week, on the 23rd July, and I got that same faulty shader file on the Fer-de-lance.

I'm running the same version (latest all in one), and I don't see these errors. I have spawned both types of Griff Fer DeLance through the console, and no errors in the log. Could this possibly be graphics card related. Do you still see the errors after adding the bit of code the A_C gave you in another thread. I'm running on a nVidia Quadro mobile.

hmm, on closer inspection, there's something a bit odd about the griff_ferdelance_player_mainhull.fragment, i don't like the look of this line that 'gl_TexCoord[0]' looks a bit suspect, and there's lots of texcoord = VtexCoord stuff going on that i don't think is needed, i'll have a look at it this evening when i can run the shader in Rendermonkey and have a mess about with it

edit: I think the error appearing depends on the implementation of OpenGl in the graphics card driver

Sorry, my mistake. It was the "Fer-de-lance" bit that caught my eye, but it was someone else's Fer-de-lance.

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a reason the Griff Moray's don't have a defined exhaust key (and hence no plume in game).

I've fixed the fer-de-lance shader (i hope) and updated the replacement shader zip a few posts above (http://www.box.net/shared/m6t0l2jcs940urtz5v1f), plus i've put the fix into the bundle at deephorizons.com and started uploading it, should be done in about an hour and a half! edit: completed! - so i hope the fix is correct!

@Capt. Murphy - i ran out of available textures to do the whole glowing exhaust effect on the moray so i left out any engines & plumes - i meant to go back and do some sort of rotating propellor thing for it, but i think i must have just lost interest before getting it done

Wow! What amazing honesty! How refreshing - no sign of handwavium being misused in dealing with IRL...

Indeed - and a perfectly good reason - I'm starting to know that feeling.

Added an alternative Cobra III oxp - this is a rather a high polygon model (3552 triangles!) and uses quite a few 2048x1024 sized textures so may be rather demanding on your computer and Oolite's framerate!
The oxp works alongside the griff_all_in_1 bundle oxp, if you don't have that installed you'll need to install the "Griff_Normalmapped_ship_decals" oxp from my box net site (link on page 1 of this thread) to see decals on the NPC ships (player ship decals are included in this oxp)
The oxp makes use of Thargoids subentity missile script.
Hopefully it all works, i've checked the logs there doesn't seem to be any errors but i'm bound to have overlooked something, it's about 10megabytes to download

She's a beauty Griff!

Waaah!! Just as my gfx card has started to misbehave! I like that a lot, Griff.

Looks great in-game... and as you said, no errors:

Good job Griff.

Just for testing i flew to an empty part of the system. Frame-rate was 99 there. I could not notice a frame-rate drop when just adding one. With the second I saw an effect. With 10 ships in drawing distance it dropped to 50. When all 10 had left my drawing distance (a bit more than scanner range for ships of this size) my fps rose back to 99.

But the ships are worth it. The difference between 50 and 99 is hardly noticeable in game.

I've not noticed any appreciable drop in fps in normal gameplay, Griff.
The player version has a lovely heat effect when sunskimming:



but threw a variety of these in the log, which I think only occur when sunskimming:
Personally, I think the gun is too long... otherwise, it's a lovely ship.
