Oolite Bulletins

Thanks everyone for their feedback.

I'm just thinking about the best way to release the additional escape pod models as and when they are ready. My initial thoughts are that I would issue an oxp containing the model, texture file and config files.

Then add a readme with instructions as to what needs to be added to a ship's shipdata.plist to make them appear on game.

Is this the best method or is their a better way ?

You only need to add "escape-capsule" to their roles-key in order to make them appear randomly.

Give the different models a different role weight (by adding a number in parenthesis right after the role name, like this: "escape-capsule(0.5)" or "escape-capsule(2)") in order to make them appear with a different probability compared to other alternative models (and the default model).

Just thought that I'd post a update/teaser picture of the latest additional escape pod model that I will be making available shortly as part of the GalTech Escape Pods oxp.
