Oolite Bulletins

A screenshot from today's flight in which, by the way, I finally reach the 1000 kills milestone - just 5400 more for that Elite rating

<grins> Only another twenty-one ROCs to go!

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is ROC, Cody?

Sorry, I should have been clearer - you get a Right on, Commander every 256 kills!
Twenty-five ROCs is the big one - and I'm currently at forty-five!

Oh, I see

I can remember getting ROCs with the C64 version (not knowing what it meant!), but not with Oolite.

But what really impresses me is the lighting in the picture. I always felt that the station parts that are on the shadowy side, or the whole station when the sun is blocked by the planet, should be much darker.

Some have the lighting set lower (or higher) than the default - for example, ambient_level = 0.2; is my preferred setting.

 How much?

That's what I was looking for! I'll experiment with the value, and perhaps I'll need Norbys headlights if I choose a dark setting.

Cool -  this may be of interest too (if you don't alread know of it).

I knew it, I already have changed the file. Probably I should make a personal OXP some day instead of directly changing the core plists...

Create a new folder within AddOns named Config, C&P selected core plists into it, then tinker to your heart's content.

Thank you, I'll try that!
