Oolite Bulletins

It's very odd. Even with the new script I keep seeing the System Redux texture. Only Lave is working and I have a famous_planet2.png. Did you got it working CaptKev?

Try removing System Redux, is it still called zFamous_Planets.oxp?

I will test it without System Redux. But to permanently remove it is no option. Oolite looks so great with SR . And the OXPname is indeed zfamousplanets.oxp

Although the zzz wheeze works for getting one shipdata (or I think any .plist in Config) entry to overwrite another, I don't think it effects the order in which Scripts are run. Certainly as far as legacy scripts are concerned, Big A has said (when I was trying to stop an Assassins / Thargoid Wars clash) that there's no guanatee the A for Assassins script will be run before T for Thargoid Wars. So it may be one is overwriting the other. Would be no problem if Ultimatley combined in one script as a SystemRedux+FamousPlanets OXP (I'm sure everyone will want to run both anyway! ), but maybe a problem in sepearte scripts.


EDIT : The name of THE SCRIPT itself for famous planets might need to be zzzzzfamousplanets as well? Maybe?

unfortunately creating a world script of zzzzzfamousplanets.js didn't work either, I still don't understand why Lave is working.

Sorry

I was away for more than a week (well not really away but I played some other games. Galactiv CivII (strategy game) and GTR2, R-Factor (both racing sims) mostly.

@CaptKev.
I don't understand either why Lave is working indeed but I still get the System Redux Texture at Zaonce even in the case that the right number is on the right place. I assume it isn't working at your computer either?

Still want to start on this little texture OXP though.

@pagroove,

add the line below to the startUp function in the Famous Planets Script...
... then download the latest Script for System Reduxhere

Like this?

And is do you have to replace the original system redux code in the .js file with the new code? (because it looks much shorter)

@pagroove, I'll send you both the scripts via email.

@pagroove, Sorry it's taken so long but I've been a bit busy for the last few days, download the new version of Famous Planets here

... then download the Script to your AddOns/System_Redux/Config folder

Sorry CaptKev,

This time I kept you waiting 4 long. Sorry about that. Was busy playing the all new awesome Racedriver Grid!! and Galactic CIV II- Twilight of the Arnor (I recommend it, no I'm not paid by them )

I installed both scripts and it's finally working. I have now different planets at Lave and Zaonce. Nice texture you made too. Shall I include it as one of the famous planets? For which planet do you prefer your texture?

Yes you can include it, here's a hi-res version (1024 x 512). I'll let you decide what system to use it for.

Ooo, lovely work guys!
OT: did anybody see the video from the development team behind 'Spore' where they showed off their planet generating system?
i think this is it here:

thanks StarGazer! i thought it looked a bit odd!

it starts off like a powerpoint presentation but a bit further on they have a person from their art team showing off their graphics stuff.

can we have this in oolite please?

@ griff - Your link needs correction to work - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/user ... 96831.html should do the job...
...immensely interesting presentation!

@ CaptKev.

Thnx I shall look for which planet I can use i. I'il let you know!

@ Griff

Nice video. I am following the developments around this game for sometime.
