Touché, amigo. Just trying to be helpful sucked me back in again.

Now making shady DeepSpace Ships... diffuse, specular, normal and effects maps, using the fragment shader provided by Jens for Griff's Adder.
Lovely, metallic shininess!

I grabbed your modified shader from the 1.2 version of Staer9's Shipset. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well on the hardware I use to test stuff on. It may be the GPU, an Intel HD chipset. Your shader rendered specular intensity and normal mapping, but the engine and laser glowing effects were absent, and the random tinting of the diffuse texture also appeared to be absent. The texture mapping scheme and materials in shipdata.plist is identical to yours.

"hull_heat_level" = hullHeatLevel;
"laser_heat_level" = laserHeatLevel;
"engine_power" = speedFactor;
PaintColor1 = { type = "randomUnitVector"; scale = 0.6; } ;

Hi CaptSolo, Thanks for taking the time to create and update this excellent oxp, I really enjoy seeing the Deepspace ships in game they look great. Unfortunately I have run into a problem when updating.
I'm using Oolite 1.77. I removed the old DeepSpaceShip.oxp and added the Shady_DSS_Resources.oxp (1.1) and the Shady_DSS_Addition.oxp (1.1) but the DSS ships don't show up and I get this error in the log:

Hopefully it's an easy fix

I'd suggest you update to Oolite 1.77.1. It has a lot of bugfixes for 1.77.

CaptSolo wrote:

Yes it is and I had fixed it, but like a fine idiot, I did not move the fixed shipdata.plist file to the repository for archiving. Please accept my apology and I believe if you re-download the Addition Config file, all should be well. Just so you know, the Addition Shipset will not show in the startup parade, unless you would like that feature added.

Shady DeepSpace Ships version 1.1 for Oolite 1.71 and version 1.15 for Oolite 1.79 development is ready for download and expanded testing.

And if they were dockable, a mission screen could appear, with Pangloss' nice pic as a background

Perhaps there would also be trading opportunities with a generation ship, if you docked?

I assume it would be easy to script this, and even make sense, and be very cool ...

McLane?

Yes that would be very cool. Also are backgrounds now possible? There was a discussion on this topic a while ago in the suggestion box. Then also the very good backgrounds for the station from Deepspace could be applied.

Question: PAGroove talks below about "backgrounds" for stations. Am I correct in presuming that he refers to a graphic of the station interior, or is he talking about the external textures?
