I'm not sure, but i think as of Oolite 1.74 'frangible' (the ability to shoot off and destroy ship subentities) now defaults to 'True', annoyingly it appears that i haven't been setting it to False for the player ships although i have been for the NPC ones, i don't know why i've been forgetting to do that, I've got it sorted for the next Dizzy update, but i haven't been through the individual ship downloads yet and fixed them, the fix is to the add the lineEl Viejo wrote:Here's a good one Griff... got into a firefight and somehow I managed to get my laser shot-off.
It still worked, luckily, and was back again after I'd exited and restarted Oolite.Nothing in the log, btw.
Code: Select all
frangible = "false";
I think it's always defaulted to 'true' i remember shooting the engines off the imperial courier before 1.74 and it doesnt have a 'frangible' line, surpirsed no ones noticed until now though.Griff wrote:I'm not sure, but i think as of Oolite 1.74 'frangible' (the ability to shoot off and destroy ship subentities) now defaults to 'True', annoyingly it appears that i haven't been setting it to False for the player ships although i have been for the NPC ones, i don't know why i've been forgetting to do that, I've got it sorted for the next Dizzy update, but i haven't been through the individual ship downloads yet and fixed them, the fix is to the add the lineEl Viejo wrote:Here's a good one Griff... got into a firefight and somehow I managed to get my laser shot-off.

to any player ship that has subentities in their entry in the shipdata.plist, this is the same sort of thing Falconeer was reporting here https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=8051 with the back of the griff_boa_mk2 being shot off leaving a hole right through the ship
Yep. The default is surprising, but there it is.ADCK wrote:I think it's always defaulted to 'true' i remember shooting the engines off the imperial courier before 1.74 and it doesnt have a 'frangible' line, surpirsed no ones noticed until now though.
You can use multiple texture maps on a singular model without having to split it up. In wings for example, highlight the faces you want as one texture and and set its material to 'material A' then highlight the faces you want as another texture and set its material to 'material B' create UV maps for both sections and tada done. I use this on a few of my ships, for example the behemoths and bulk haulers with nameplates, their nameplate is a seperate texture but it's all done on one model.Killer Wolf wrote:one of the reasons i'm splitting up my mew creation is that they're fairly complex and it's easier to split them and use texture maps for them, rather that trying to cram everything onto one texture map. that'd make everything tiny and hard to do decent skinning.
Just be aware that having several objects using 2048x2048 textures in-game simultaneously can slow some computers right down or make things really jerky.ADCK wrote:
Or if thats too much work, use bigger textures, 2048x2048 textures can be very detailed.
might try that, i take it the OBJ2DAT has no issues w/ this so it might be worth a go. as for the 2048 texter, or the widescreen version Griff used in his Strictor, i dunno : UU has values of 512 or 1024 when exporting the UV map, i haven't seen other settings.ADCK wrote:You can use multiple texture maps on a singular model without having to split it up.
