I like that, especially it it is noticeable.Norby wrote:the effect can depend on the distance of the jump to show different distorsions in various speeds caused by the nonlinear distance vs. travel time formula.
Sure, it's possible, but I think it would be better to add a second visual effect. The same shader is used for docking and launching (with only a time offset) so you'd need to handle this as well. Or separate them - then it's just another texture lookup replacing the line withCommander_X wrote:One last question: would it be hard to replace the black rectangle of death of the docking transition in BGS with the (say) manifest image background?
discard.If you are using the OXZ, then you only need to place these files in the AddOns folder, e.g. in My.oxp\shaders and My.oxp\textures. If you want the more colorful settings you'll need to changeZireael wrote:Where do I put those new effects for testing? I might have some time tomorrow...
.bgsHyperControl in BGS-M.js though. The released script only uses 0,0 1,0 or 0,1 atm.Thank you, the hint with discard helped!Svengali wrote:Sure, it's possible, but I think it would be better to add a second visual effect.

}I won't redo it!Svengali wrote:@Commander_X: But be aware that this adds even more branching. Probably it's time to redo this shader.
(I know! I know! It was not me you were referring at.)It's not possible to get this right. The docking effect has to be done as VisualEffect with theCommander_X wrote:On a more serious note, why not work from your old animation demo with a different setup -- e.g. a short zoom in the station interior faded to the docked background? I think the interior view of the station model as is, should be enough for the visual suggestion, without any extra modeling of the docks. Maybe a bit of playing with the lighting, to avoid the "duplication" of the scenery.
is_break_pattern = true; flag when Oolite fires shipWillDockWithStation. When the status changes to docked any VisualEffect will be discarded (VisualEffects are inflight effects). This means the effect ends (although it still runs) before the background e.g. through screenbackgrounds.plist is displayed. All you can do is to fade to black before Oolite discards it.
The manifest of BGS is in my account, although I can not promise active maintenance.Cody wrote:Strangest paint job I've seen on a Cobra MK III (and BGS seems to be missing the 'Price' display - is anyone maintaining BGS?).
Marked - core game displays the price there as part of the description (I think). Also, there should be a space betweenNorby wrote:I am not understanding your price problem, what would you like to see which is not in the linked image?
