Don't apologise

I'm glad your ships are here atall, just thought I'd let you know that's all. Might as well try and be useful whilst I'm skiving!

I've fixed the oxp, same download link, or if you prefer you can fix it yourself, you just need to replace a few lines in the shipdata.plist
find the following groups of lines:
Lines 174-177, 225-228, 276-279, 327-330

take out the code that's there (which looks like this:

Code: Select all

PaintColor1 = { type = vector; value = "0.0 0.0 0.0"; }; 
PaintColor2 = { type = vector; value = "0.0 0.0 0.0"; };				
DecalColor =  { type = vector; value = "1.0 0.3945 0.0"; };
uDecalSelect = { type = "float"; value = 0.3; };

and replace it with this:

Code: Select all

PaintColor1 = {type = "randomUnitVector"; scale = 0.3;};
PaintColor2 = {type = "randomUnitVector"; scale = 0.3;};			
DecalColor =  {type = "randomUnitVector"; scale = 0.5;};
uDecalSelect = "entityPersonality";

Well done Griff, that's got the little monkey

Have you tried 1.72?

Control-click the OXP, select Show Package Contents, look in Config.

However, it would be more useful if you posted the contents of your log file, which can be found at ~/Library/Logs/Oolite/Latest.log.

Hi All
I've downloaded Griff's latest version tonight & swapped oxp files. Tried starting Oolite holding the shift key down to flush the cache & I'm still getting invisible ships - ie I can see the front laser subentity & the engine exhaust plume but nothing inbetween

(see the pic I posted yesterday on page 41)

I can only tell you I'm using a Nvidia 8600GT 512mb, it's working fine on mine since Griff's last fix.

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2009 5:44 pm**

Graphics memory related maybe? Have you tried without other OXPs installed?

Good idea A_C
Just removed all oxp's except Griffs & RS (needed to use my ship...)
Still the same problem

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:40 pm**

since RS are biggest, I'd suggest changing ship and then removing RS...

thanks Sarin & Gogz (pm)
I just removed RS & the other Griff ships/stations- leaving only the Griff Cobra oxp.
Rebooted the mac & started Oolite (holding shift to flush the cache) & with a virgin Jameson (not a save file) and.......
Exactly the same, no body on the cobby3, just the laser entity & exhaust.

Just thinking about it a few minutes ago and Griff's other oxp's work fine (Boa, Krait & Station) so I don't think its a conflict between oxp's or a graphics card/system problem. More with this particular oxp.
Anyone with more coding experience care to comment/help?
please

Apologies for hijacking the thread (but I did recently contribute with pics...)

Pity, I was hoping to see error messages about bad shaders.

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2009 8:47 pm**

It could be shader related, all the missing parts use the same fragment shader.
I sent Tivva a version of the oxp with my fancy cobra model swapped out for the built in cobra model and that didn't appear either, so that probably rules out the model .dat file. we've also tried shrinking all the textures down to 256x256 pixels but the missing part of the ship still didn't appear then either.
I've just sent Tivva another version of the oxp with a drastically simplified version of the fragment shader used by the missing pieces, we'll see how that turns out, if a simplified shader makes the missing pieces come back, i'll try adding effects back into the shader untill Tivva says it's not working again

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:15 pm**

I agree that it’s definitely a shader problem. That’s why I was hoping to see an error message – life is always simpler when the computer can tell you what you’re doing wrong. :-)
