typo in the bugg off ad: raNges up to 20 cm

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2006 4:14 pm**

Imagine the trouble of recalling 2,000 billboards from 8 galaxies to fix a typo. Well spotted though!

Oh, TGHC, you should see Griff's Edible Arts Graduate ad.

Could you do a rear window sticker for my Supercobra:-

My other ship's a Ferdiari!!

Or a little message across the top of the screen on the rear view: 'Objects in the rear view are actually as close as they are....'

or bumper stickers:
'I break for Giles the Creator.'
'Sh!t happens.'
'If you can read this, you're in optimum kill range of my rear Mili-laser!'
'Don't follow me, I'm lost too!'
'I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.'
'Don't hit me, my lawyer's in jail.'
'Guns don't kill people, postal workers do.'

We ought to reduce the penalities for detroying the witch-point now there are so many annoying ads!

Fortyfour thousand and seventeen inch plasma screen technology is VERY expensive and the AD-X corporation are quite touchy about having their property defaced. There's still no spokesperson available for a comment on the recent documentary uncovering how the company pays Boy Racers to deface AD-X' own screens to exploit one of the many many loops in their extremely silly Enintean insurance policy. We did manage to get through to the sales department where we were immediately told to get off the line if we weren't there to buy ad space. "Business is booming and about 20% of our billboard space throughout the galaxies has been rented out within the first 24 hours of business", one employee told us before hanging up..

Doctor, you might want to check that you have the latest versions in the OXP, I swapped discos to something a little less 70s.

Hi.

I just saw my first non testing appearance of an ad - the bug spray. While the product itself might have it's limitations, it's bound to sell when put up in 1000x500m

Keep them coming. And please re-post images with a note of slot and side when correcting something, so I know it's there. I couldn't spot any difference?

Can you also replace the Navigation Beacons in front of the stations with an Ad board as you rarely get to see witchspace beacons unless you go look for them. Putting them at the navigation beacon would increase the opportunity to see the ads, especially when you launch from the station, you'd be aimed right at it.

I have been looking a little into that. With a quarter size Terascreen. I'm just experiencing some issues with the models and textures and am not really up to making it work right now. I might look at it again later. The idea being that these would only appear in corporate systems, since nobody else had really sat down and done a serious cost benefit analysis on the minor risks to traffic and the major increases in consumption (at least that was what the corpies assumed to be the reason for the reluctance of others to yeild to the AD-X lobby's nice shiny Credits).

Now what I was thinking of too was if anybody was up to quarternizing the placements of these ads in a size that fits on an Anaconda!

I might actually even look into it myself...

Changed the colours on Pilkerson's. Red is just so last year.

And don't be shy about hoarding the slots. If there are a lot of latecommers it will be very simple to make a 'b' set that players can swap with or use together with the first set (according to taste and hardware specs).

It should also be very easy for people to make signs that only appear in certain systems or types of systems and even at certain times by using renamed versions of the files in this OXP. Wanted posters. Ads for a coming show in the systems around where one happens to beome involved with that lobstoid opera diva or whatever. Perhaps a rusty one with a cracked dead screen in a system that has known better days.

Wow these are great. Can't belive how quickly those blank boards are filling up! This sort of OXP really adds a lot of depth to the Oniverse.

Be cool if the Zero G boad could be scripted to appear at Planet Number 194 in Galaxy 7 near the Station for obvious reasons!
