Thanks Okti, managed to get a script working which places the TCA in the right place in Tionisla now.

Now how do I get it to face the planet as well?

Thanks in advance!

This will align the TCA's z-axis to point towards the planet.

Code: Select all

tca.orientation = system.mainPlanet.position.subtract(tca.position).direction().rotationTo([0,0,1]);

Impressive! I like the scrolling ticker at the back of the docking bay.

Minor bug: The texture file "TCA_beacon.png" is called "tca_beacon.png" in scripts, which means it can't be found on Linux systems.

Some closer look ups:

Great

Beautiful!

~~One minor bug: during docking, the array pretends to be a Baakili Far Trader when it says "You are on final approach".~~

EDIT: screenshots added, false bug report striked.

Not hapenning here, your traffic control OXP may be out of date, and I can not see anything in shipdata.plist to give that name.

My mistake: the message from the Far Trader was still in the save game from earlier, it did not come from the array.

Wow! Amazing model & texture work Storm, that looks fantastic - It's a really really nice design!

Thanks Griff, from you that's very high praise!

Hi Storm - I've FB'd this thread and some pics to Drew - I'm sure, if he can, he'll be back to give his thumbs up - spectacular work. Well done.

Storm... I'm close to speechless. That looks far better than I could have imagined it myself. I'm going to alter the descriptions in the books to better match what you've created. Astonishing work - bravo!

Looking through the pictures the first thought I had was "OMG... it's real... the damn things real!"

I will download the OXP tonight and trial it on my install of Oolite. WHen you've finished with the beta, make sure you start a new thread and announce it, folks will want this in their game I'm sure!

Thanks for realising this, I'm most humbly grateful.

Cheers,

Drew.

Even without shaders, it's pretty awesome.
