Thnx I also made a Monitor2.
Basically it is an upgraded Monitor. slightly faster 2.1 LM instead of 1.8 and slightly better roll and pitch

Love the lighting effects - so, where's the oxp (or is this related to Murgh-permission-thing?)

OXP in the making as we speak. Patience

One possible problem with this, Neolite replaced the original OldShips.oxp. Can you replace the Neolite versions?

I rename the oxp to oldships2010.oxp to prevent that.

You'd also need to rename the shipdata.plist's entries to prevent conflicts,
eg:
"bushmaster_miner"
would need to be changed to something like:
"PAG_bushmaster_miner"
or it will overwrite neolites & the original oldships.

Oh and the salamander on the previous page looks a little weird with the light on the top there, it looks like the source of the light starts somewhere behind the ship, maybe move it forward a bit?

Thnx for the good advice. I renamed the files also

What did you do? Dance with the cops?

That’s one way of putting it… someone had spread malicious, totally untrue, rumours that I had a large consignment of narcotics on board. Me… mister clean… how could they think such a thing?
The local GalCop Vipers tried very hard to prevent me from docking… it was one hell of a furball, all the way into the slot.

With that amount of cash you can afford it and give them a healthy tip into the bargain

Quick question, how did you get to name your ship? 'Rolling Thunder'? I had a search of the forum but couldn't see anything which might help.

I changed one line in the shipdata.plist (player ship section) like this:

Code: Select all

name = "Cobra Mk III ";

to

Code: Select all

name = "Griff Cobra Mk III 'Rolling Thunder'";

Edit the according "***-player" name entry in your shipdata.plist, or in the shipdata.plist of the according OXP if you fly an OXP ship that does not replace an "Oolite-itself-ship".
(resides in /oolite-app/resources/config in windows)

For my Boa Class Cruiser this would be the paragraf "Boa-mk2-player" and the line name = "Boa Class Cruiser";

done.
