Second that. Nice one :-)

Cool design! "Vampire" is already taken, but there's a whole bunch of vampire-type monster names here. Or there's the bat genus name Nyctalus, which sounds slightly menacing – more so than Desmodus, Diphylla or Diaemus, the genus names of vampire bats. Or there are a whole bunch of demon names to choose from, which might be appropriate too.

Nice work Frame and as others have pointed out - very Bab.5.

For those who may have not noticed, I happen to like the Griff Boa a lot. Especially with normal maps. Here is, the first ever non-cube normal mapped ship of Oolite, coming soon to a computer near you:

’s not true. The first normal map test OXP was a little pyramid holding two billboards. :-)

One limitation that’s noticeable here is that there’s light shining on bits that should be in shadow. Of course, you get that with any model with concave parts, but normal maps make it more obvious. The fix for this would be huge, and isn’t going to happen, ever. The workaround is to avoid using particularly steep bits on normal maps.

Got to agree with D.H. here. Very nice A.C.

OMG X3-TC is going have a run for it's money. This looks very good

Now ALL ships should have normal maps.

Other screens are also special

Would this be even possible to add-in such maps to already existing ships?

I`m asking for a reason, you know

Ships are one thing. Planets would look very much better with normal maps.

Best wishes,

Actually, the effect of a correct normal map on a planet is pretty subtle; mountains just aren’t very big. Correct lighting taking atmospheric scattering into account, specular mapping and night lights are far more noticeable. Not that it matters; you can’t have any of the above, so *thrppt*. :-p

yeah you can...

New plists shipdata-overrides.plist and shipyard-overrides.plist can be used to replace individual properties in shipdata and shipyard, respectively. shipdata-overrides.plist should be useful for localization OXPs to set ship names without overriding other attributes. The most obvious use for shipyard-overrides.plist is a leaner implementation of Realistic Shipyards. Override entries for ships that are not in shipdata/shipyard will be ignored.

since if you can change the plist entry, you can add normal maps
