@Stormprooter - That looks awesome - thanks for using the ships in your project they look great!

Cheers - they look really good in-game too.

Your new viper model is looking good - inspired by Elite: Dangerous perhaps?
Talking of vipers, I've put loads of flashing lights on the police ships in my mod - it really gives a good effect

I found a bug in griff_station_bundle_fullsize_tex_v1.2.1.oxp .

it misses a semicolon on line 469 of shipdata.plist (Rock hermit section) .

It should have an additional ; between 2 and } .

Yet it seems to work okay here - is it an OS-specific thing? I'm on Windows.

It seems these errors are only detected when running recent GNUstep versions.

<nods> Added a semicolon to my copy anyway - thanks.

Thanks for the bugfix Lone_wolf. I'm just looking at updating the oxp now
I'm wondering if line 469 even needs to be there at all, the line above seems to have it the bgs_tunnel_shape definition already in it, looks like I've made a copy and paste error and ended up with two script_info lines, the second of which is buggy: I'm going to gamble that that second line isn't needed, delete it and re-upload the oxp

Looks like a post saying I'd mangled the interceptor remake a bit more to stick two extra engines on it got lost, anyway I've done that, it looks a little bit more noticeable in game now from the regular viper. I can't make too many changes now without having to redo all the smoothing groups in wings3d as my 3d app doesn't support them so I can't bring the wings3d edge weighted model back into it to make more geometry edits, without then having to go back into wings to reweight it all again from scratch

Code: Select all

script_info = {"bgs_tunnel_texture" = "bgs_asteroid_tunnel.png";"bgs_tunnel_shape" = 2;};
script_info = {"bgs_tunnel_shape" = 2};

I'm probably to be blamed here . The first line uses a rockish tunnel texture that I'm personally using. I don't think the package has it, but it can be found somewhere from the forum, if fancies it. The second line, that's missing the ";", uses the basic bgs texture. So, remove the first line and add a semicolon to the second line and all is cool again .

Edit: In case some one is interested of the "bgs_asteroid_tunnel.png" texture, it can be found here: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16028

Griff's Box account over bandwidth limit already? No notice about it being locked. Tried downloading the new Viper Interceptor without success.

Aye - no bandwidth message, but the downloads don't work.

Presto! I joined Griff's Box account and that opened the download ability.

not sure what's happening with box, i haven't made any recent changes to the folder download options or anything, i just tried to download an oxp from there now and although the browser said the download was starting it never did - maybe they're (box) doing some maintenance or something at the moment.
I'll have to have another session uploading stuff to the oolite download manager

You have to be logged into your box account. Then, in my case, I also had to join your account as a viewer in order to download stuff.

Love your new Viper Interceptor as it now follows more closely the original model.

hmm, logged into box and had a look at my settings, maybe it is out of bandwidth: that's strange though it's usually just a few MB's worth of downloads per month

Griff, I know this has been asked and answered before somewhere many pages back, but is there some reason your files are on a Box account and not uploaded to the wiki?

I get email notifications of downloads of my box.com files.. do you? If so, you ought to have seen a big increase in numbers.
