That's not an oddity, per se. The sights are on as long as you have blips on the scanner, yellow or red alert. The workaround is to wait till the scanner is clear (green alert), or set your jump destination while docked.cim wrote:A slight display oddity I noticed while setting my jump destination:

Does this HUD have a license?Cmdr Wyvern wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2011 4:06 pmMilHUD 4.0 by Wyvern - Based on GenericHUD by KW and Thargoid, and MilHUD 3.1 by Wyvern
Oolite version: 1.74+
=======================================================================================
This is a mode-switching version of MilHUD, displaying HUD "modes" depending on condition.
Version 4.0 fixes some bugs, and introduces a next generation gun pipper system, the SquareShot holographic lasersight, designed to work in tandom with the Scanner Targeting Enhancement. A basic SquareShot mode is available without an STE, but the basic mode is usable at best at close ranges. To realize SquareShot's full capabilities, equip an STE.
MODES: (See included screenshots)
- Docked: All instruments disabled when docked, except the clock and missile/mine display.
- Green: Holographic rangers switched off; scanner, zoom, compass and sights turn green. A good indicator that you're clear to engage Supercruise.
- Yellow: SquareShot holographic sighting aids fully active; scanner, zoom, compass and sights turn yellow. Masslocked, could be hostiles around. If you want to get in a pre-emptive strike, this mode lets you.
- Red: Sights turn red, SqareShot fully active, scanner and compass takes on high-contrast blue-green. This is full combat mode, time to kick some ass.
- Critical: A warning message appears, your scanner and compass turn red, and your contraster starts flashing red. If you see this, then SHTF and you're in big trouble. Yank the eject handle or get out of Dodge fast.
=========================================================================================
Target Reticule oxp doesn't work with this (it doesn't work with GenericHUD either), so it's function is built-in.
TAF_Reset oxp isn't needed with this, it's functions are built-in. TAF reset function kicks in when docked, Witching to a new system, masslocking, and when Condition Red. Unless you use time acceleration, you won't notice.
INSTALLATION:
Remove all HUD oxps that replace the standard HUD (including GenericHUD and older MilHUD), TAF_Reset and Target Reticule from your AddOns directory, and drop this in. Simple as that. Full functionality will now kick in immediately on starting the game. Use a shiftkey start to be sure (Shiftkey start only needs to be applied once).
Credit where it's due:
This uses a modified version of Thargoid's script used in GenericHUD. SquareShot sights invented while messing with CommonSense's huds. Comm window placements and idea for the warning flasher is credted to CommonSenseOTB.

Bluntly, no. None of my early oxps did, and was released public domain, C the oolite community, do as thou wilt.

Hacking up oxps was, and still is, a completely nonprofit, for-the-fun-of-it hobby. I wasn't gonna go out of my way to send evil lawyers after anybody, aint got the time or patience for that BS. So licensing simply wasn't on the radar.
With that air cleared, I'm happy to see that a lot of the neat tricks in MilHUD lives on in other HUDs. As ancient as it is, MilHUD remains a novel inspiration, if little else. Carry on, Commanders.
I've got a new version of the ol' Missile Spoof in WIP phase now.

Maybe have a go at the Kirin, too.

As much as I know, the Kirin is currently unmaintained, so easy to transfer the rights. I should have an overhauled version somewhere, using Oolite shaders only. Originally intended as an addition to the Galactic Navy as a Transport alternative before, I put the entire project on hold.Cmdr Wyvern wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 7:14 pmMaybe have a go at the Kirin, too.

The old Griff shader Clym & I nicked for it is horribly borked in Oolite 1.9. That sweet old hauler needs some loving to fix that.
