Fooling around with shaders: Liquid Metal Zygoroid

zygoroid = Thé predator planet

That's really interesting, another_commander! Maybe it could be nice in some OXP or something

I imagine for asteroids or attacked stations / wracked ships this would look great.

that looks awesome, does it ripple like liquid? if so, mixed in faintly over a regular texture would make a cool effect for alien ships like the Thargoids or one of the other oxp organic ships types

Yes it does and it looks great too. Just set the parallax_scale in zygoroids' plist to something nuts like 0.5 or something and enjoy.

Just out of curiosity, is there a way in a nightly release to turn off the "Development version [numbers]" thing in the upper right corner? Really is an immersion killer for me, not to mention interfering with the MFD in the same location.

There is - it involves editing oolite.exe in Hex. I do it, but I'll leave it for someone else to explain, as I ain't so good at giving clear instructions.
