Oolite Bulletins

I'm a big fan of the OXP's made by Murgh. They are simple, but add real flavour...

now that IS tasteful

looks lonely, though, think needs a Ken boacc consort

mouth drops open.... how do you get the ships to look like that? mine just look like lots of coloured triangles stuck together!!!!

i want/need a ship like that!!

This is a Griff Cobra MkIII - it's a bit of a cheat because the normal mapping doesn't work in current version of Oolite (1.72.2) just the dev. edition (1.73) but even the none normal mapped version (which still adds random colour schemes and decals through the shader) looks amazing.

Can't find a link to its oxp at the moment - will post one if nobody else does and I have time (and I find it) (RL(tm) beckons have lectures (delivery of) all day today)

I'm pretty sure wyvern wrapped them up (neatened up the in game coding too) and rolled out an oxp. Hang on I'll see if I can find the link. https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=5328&highlight=
nope that's the Griff Boa and Griff Kraits.

ah here we are: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t= ... riff+cobra

I'd check the read me, it might come bundled with a 6 ship auto spawn java script that may need nixing.

Indeed! Otherwise you keep getting attacked by all these nice looking cobras...

You definitely need "cargo_wreck_teaser" and "asteroid storm"

Yes, good, aren't they! Just OXP'd them into my AddOns folder, and am having fun trying to identify which local asteroids they resemble. And the Ore Processor is the perfect complement! Precious things to adorn the staff at casinos, in the absence of a wardrobe. And tempting at their prices. I sold out at once

ok... ive downloaded the following so far....

Generation Ships
Deep Space Dredgers
Asteroid Storm
Pirate Coves - ha a reason to shoot rock hermis!!!
Random Hits
System Redux
Famous Planets - does this include the pulsar thingy at tianve? not very clear from the wiki and im heading in that direction at themoment , is it worth seeing?


v cool btw... i put them in my addon folder as described (getting better at this pc stuff) and the next time i launched there was this pretty planet and a huge space dredger waiting for me!!

is there a way to take screenshots btw? i want a photo album of my adventures!

will download lave and diso and tionisla stuff sometime but im in the middle of the galaxy at the moment so not much point.

Tianve comes with an additional oxp. It's author also suggests to install the torus oxp together with it for that special space station, but it's not required.

Both are linked here:

There's some in-game key command, but I always forget it, someone else needs to help for that one. However, with windows it's possible to make screenshots of an app, too. alt-print is the key combination for that one. You can use paint or something like that and then paste the image there. The oolite key command has an advantage to this approach, as it does instantly save the picture, thus there is no need of the paste&save with some paint program.

Screet

thx!

tori.oxp looks good... for a moment i thought it was a political oxp... not having a tori on my laptop

someone was watching 2001 a space odessey!! now the docking music really fits!

OK screen shots, probably the best way to get screen shots is to get in position
press P to pause the game.
Press o to turn off your hud
Press * to take the photo (it should drop it in your oolite folder)
Press N to turn your hud back on
then unpause the game again.

I think this method still works but if not then * will take the scree shot.

Or SHIFT+8 on Win (depending on your codepage?).

wow thanks all!
famous planets looks good though.. does it really look like that in the game? the planets look a bit well plasticiny at the moment (dont take offence!!!!) - one was pink!!!!

Which planet was pink? I did not ad pink planets in the first set? Tianve is purple like. Can you look it up.

Famous Plantes 2.0 is in beta. It comes with the 26 page planet guide and manual in .pdf format
