<shakes fist> I doubt I'll be re-taking them. There is one older shot I would re-take, but I can't recall which planet it was.

Very nice! Will it be the default setting when 1.86 will be out?
I don't think so, because it was a completely arbitrary choice of a parameter that may or may not look good everywhere. However, adding this change to your game is trivial. Just make a Shaders folder under your AddOns, copy and paste the entire oolite-default-planet.fragment file in, then edit it as follows:
Line 170, method calcSpecularLight: Change
Code: Select all
float intensity = pow(max(RdotE, 0.0), exponent);
to
Code: Select all
float intensity = pow(max(RdotE, 0.0), exponent) * 3.0;
or whatever multiplier you prefer.

Did you say somewhere that shaders can be tweaked on-the-fly, without a restart?

That is almost correct. You do not need Shift down for changes on the shaders to take, but you do need restart.

Cobra vs Cobra...
... you wouldn't think it from that shot, but there was a massive firefight going on around us.

EDIT 2017.10.04 [#1]
Every web page refresh brings a random group of 9 shots.
That's something which should be mentioned on the page itself.. most people will think it's a static display, otherwise.

With a very small tweak in the planet shader to increase the intensity of the light reflection
Is there a way to tweak the resolution of the results generated by the P3D algorithm, so that the coastlines, clouds, etc. get a bit less blocky at close range?

Not without source code modifications. And if you do that, then you will most likely find that the performance hit starts becoming quite noticeable.

I was hoping for some simple shader modification, but I see. Thanks for the info!

If you own a shot and would like to share a descriptive title, please, add it to the below collaborative spreadsheet.
I've made a few minor changes to that
spreadsheet, and will add more details later. I presume that doesn't auto-update the Screenshots page?

No it doesn't. I will manually update the screenshots at oolite.org
Edit: Done.
