That's a nice grungy texture you've made on that one cbr! whatever planet they landed on earlier, the weather really wore out the paint!

The owners of this dirt runner were the first to receive their new adder in this system,
fortunate we captured some station footage before the first couple of planetfalls...

Is there a (shipdata) variable with which I can reduce the amount of influence an emission or illumination map has?
Other than editing the bitmap...

you can reduce the brightness of the illumintaion/ emmsion? if use one of the modulelate_color "material specifier" settings with numbers lower that 1.0 to dim the final result, or push it towards another colour:
https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Mater ... specifiers
emission_modulate_color
illumination_modulate_color
here's an example from an oxp where i'm using emission_modulate_color to reduce the brightness of the emmission map by modulating it with 0.5 for all the RGB values, lower numbers would dim it further, anything higher that 1.0 seems to remove the effect completely as far as i can see rather than incresing it's brightness
Code: Select all
materials =
{
"Hull" =
{
diffuse_map = "griff_HP_Cobramk1_alt2_diffuse.png";
gloss = 1.0;
specular_color = (0.2, 0.2, 0.2);
shininess = 42;
normal_map = "griff_HP_Cobramk1_alt2_normal.png";
specular_map = "griff_HP_Cobramk1_alt2_specgloss.png";
emission_map = "griff_HP_Cobramk1_glowmap.png";
emission_modulate_color = (0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
};
};

You can actually use numbers higher than 1.0 for *_modulate_color, see how we are using it for the default Coriolis external lights effects in the current 1.91 shipdata.plist:
Code: Select all
emission_modulate_color = {red=6750.9520; green=6780.9630; blue=3280.8824;};
Due to the way Oolite interprets color definitions, anything higher than 1.0 is automatically transposed to the RGB 0-255 scale. This way we can read colors as both float arrays in the 0.0-1.0 range and RGB integer triplets in the 0-255 range. So, if you use e.g. a value of 1.5, then this is automatically translated to 1.5/255 = 0.00588, which is like almost perfect black. That's why it seems that the effect is removed. To actually use that 1.5 value, just multiply it by 255 (i.e. set it to 382.5) and then it will be used as intended by Oolite. In the above Coriolis example the RGB triplet we are actually referring to corresponds to the float array [26.474, 10.906, 12.866].
One would easily proclaim here: WTF is this and who thought it would be a good idea to design it this way? Well, this goes back to the very old days of the game, when all colors were strictly defined within the 8-bit color space. At some point we set ourselves free from that restriction, but changing the way colors are read would break a bunch of existing OXPs, so we had to stick to what we already had and just use the method described above to make use of the extended color range available to us.

Thanks!
modulate_color (0.95,0.95,0.95) vs modulate_color (0.25,0.25,0.25)

cbr: is there any chance you could post a screen shot of KW's docking bay? It is quite phenomenal - and your skills here
far outweigh mine. Unless you think that it is better to let people experience it for themselves.

I have a nice set of screenshots from a visit to the station, jaw dropping entrance for a station that size...
A great incentive for visiting Cebior!

That last 'find it here: <url>' is giving me an idea...
How about introducing a URL that can describe a location in Ooniverse? Something that is registered to be opened with Oolite, then gives galaxy number, star system and coordinates for intrastellar space (and something similar for interstellar space)?
We need two functions then: One to grab the current location and a command line parameter to pass it into Oolite to load that URL. Maybe in-game access to the clipboard to read the URL from there?

This dumb pilot seems stuck in G1. I just complemented how to operate the
Galactic Hyperdrive but despite the fact that I have the Galactic Hyperdrive in my ship it does not show up when priming equipment.
Thus I don't know how to go to G2 and finally end up in the star system of choice. What can be the cause for the equipment to not be primeable?
