Witchspace? Is that something other than the interstellar location of a failed jump? ...Like a mission/campaign?another_commander wrote:It's just how Zygo's awesome cinematic space looks like in Witchspace, combined with taking the snapshot at the exact moment when the green glint from the Thargoid hit starts fading out.

No, it's interstellar space, I am just using 80's terminology.Switeck wrote:Witchspace? Is that something other than the interstellar location of a failed jump? ...Like a mission/campaign?

Install this OXP, and in a few months time you'll see a whole 'nother kind of Witch space..Switeck wrote:Witchspace? Is that something other than the interstellar location of a failed jump? ...Like a mission/campaign?

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Monitor settings? No doubt they've been terribly skewed by my faulty colour vision so I can see my prey.Cody wrote:In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!CaptSolo wrote:My eyes must be finally going.
How are your monitor settings, Solo - it's definitely purple.

Hmm... my eyesight may be slowly deteriorating, but my colour vision has always been good.
Oh yeah... Ergeso is a revolting dump! You heading for the Halo? There is a backdoor (of sorts) into that sector.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Maybe a gamma correction issue? Because I had to look REALLY hard to see the purple on my laptop and it looked black on my HDTV.

No back doors this time. I'm not - once more - on a black ops for the kindly old Admiral. Rather, immersing myself in a very good yarn, and following the trail to it's tragic end. Yippee Kay Yay!Cody wrote:You heading for the Halo? There is a backdoor (of sorts) into that sector.

Re: Screenshots
If I'd known about it back then, the old trickster would have used that backdoor route to Lazaso (not do-able in the core game, of course - too much fuel required).
Following the old trail, eh? Cool - but beware The Gates of Damocles! The fierce frogs that inhabit Biceri are known for their ingrained shyness.

This was the kind of scene I was envisaging when spara asked me how I would like additional planets to look.spara wrote:Got bored in my Mining Transporter and took my chances when I saw a blue sphere luring me in. What an alienesque sight greeted me when I came out of the witch space tunnel.
This is Orerve with ZygoUgo's Cinematics, three moons from Additional Planets and sun from Distant Suns.
We had a discussion about some of the options and then spara created the necessary code.
That what I was only able to imagine, could be created so evocatively is all credit to spara


...In other news: has witchspace always looked that cool with ZygoUgo's cinematic skies???

I haven't visited the Thargoids for an age...

This screen is just amazing. We don't need E:D when we have Oolite, do we?

Umm.. I guess you're not aware that photobucket automatically resizes images to a maximum width of 1024? You might want to try box.com instead.

Are you sure? If I click the link, and then click + and again + (View Original), I get the original 1920 x 1080 image.

I think you can disable that (which I think I have done for my Photobucket account).Diziet Sma wrote:I guess you're not aware that photobucket automatically resizes images to a maximum width of 1024?
