Oolite Bulletins

A broken military shield enhancer is always an "ouch" moment.

Cheers. I'll make it available as demo when I'm done with it. It currently only works with trunk and CCL1.6.1, but I guess it will be possible to do a v1.76,1 version. A few things are still on my todo list (the water shader is one of them), but Ironfist has run it on his his box (muchas gracias) already. The wole thing is meant as appetizer for animations - Oolite can do really cool things and animations are a very interesting aspect. And when comparing the filesizes and flexibility with videos then it gets clear that it is the way to go.

wow, that sounds more than good, in my book!

I was wondering if anyone had a screenshot of the Liberator that they could post (I understand this is included in Random hits).

There you are:



These are screenshots of The Liberator from my personal modified version of Sabre's original OXP, which fixes some issues with the original. It doesn't fix the main issue, however, i.e. that the ship is too high for a standard docking bay.

Nice! I always liked the Liberator - great design.

Thanks Commander McLane I've never come across this ship in game as yet so was curious to see what it looks like in game.
Would it not be possible to run the DAT file through the DatScale.py converter to reduce the size ?

If not would a new smaller model be of interest to anyone ?

In principle, yes, if the subentities are equally shrunken. However, the OXP creator envisioned it to be in this size, and he may have had his reasons for that.

nothing special... that's my alternate cobra mk3 with customized "discordian" decals

All hail Eris!

I suspected that I would find some other discordianist here...

We'll be seeing you...

I had to re-read the name on your ship because it looked like mine.

It was worse when, for a moment, I misread you nickname in a post and asked myself "when did I wrote that?"
My nickname is borrowed from Stanisalw Lem's Star Diaries.
