Oolite Bulletins

Upon noting this release my first thought was a quote from The Hobbit: "But, can yer eat em."

'You might think that... I couldn't possibly comment!' Here, have a tin of spam OXP!

What the hell......

Just a quick note to let you all know that I've temporarily suspended downloads of this, as v2.0 is ready and will be released tomorrow when I've re-done the readme etc and packaged it up.
v2.0 is very much more developed than the original, and adds some new features. Watch this space!

Is there a vegetarian option?

Italian or deep pan

UPDATED RELEASE 31/08/2012

v2.0 is now available. Please see the first post for full details.

I'm starting to question my in-game morality/sanity; for some reason I wanna Q-bomb one of those...

Try it! You'll find they are pretty tough

Adding the Visitor Centres also gave me the oportunity to keep a little bit of Oolite heritage alive. They are based on Dr Nil's original Constore which has now been superceded by the more sophisticated Griff model in both YAH and Taxi Galactica and was in danger of fading into obscurity. However it was ideal as the basis for the Pizza Visitor Centres and so, in an improved and up-dated form, lives on.

Not having downloaded this OXP (and not likely to as it doesn't fit in my idea of a realistic Ooniverse), I have no idea what the Visitor Centres look like. But it might be a cool idea to texture the Visitor Centres in the form of a pizza box?

Ha, JH Oolite itself doesn't fit into my idea of a realistic Ooniverse!
Seriously though, the Visitor Centres are quite appropriately tacky and have some nice features, but do not look like pizza boxes
I deliberately did not include any screenshots of them as I didn't want to spoil the experience for players who use the OXP.
I'm happy for others to post though, so the first screenshot (or better still, movie) of a Visitor Centre earns the photographer a free pat on the back.

Minor update, to v2.1
The pizza now has a normal_map and looks even tastier.

v3.0 OXZ now available

Giant Space Pizza has now been fully overhauled for Oolite v1.80. There have been several improvements made. This OXZ release is compatible with the previous OXP, so anybody part way through 'collecting' Pizzas can continue with their mission.
Changelog
Safety Stewards added who patrol the area around the Pizza and communicate with visitors.
Pizza normal_map improved.
Revised main script:-
Simplified and tidied up. Improved commenting.
Now uses new populator functions.
Fixed exploit where multiple visits to the same Visitor Centre counted as unique visits.
Pizza system cannot now go Nova.

Is this what the space jellyfish eat?

I ordered it with anchovies!

BBD

Must admit I was slightly surprised to see it had toppings on both sides.
