Those nebulae look very good and real (because they are :wink: ), but do they work just as well in Oolite's nebula generation algorithm?
You could always try them and see.. :wink:

That's exactly why I turned off the nebulae "in system" altogether - they looked all too familiar from one system to the next (not exact, but generally highly similar).
Having 56 textures instead of just the core's 4 textures should be a big help in that regard.. :wink:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

BUG REPORT
There is a case-sensitive error in the zygotraffic.js script in ZygoCinematicSky&Nebulas v1.1.6 which is throwing log errors.
Line 135

Code: Select all

ships[shipsCounter].switchAI("planetpatrolAI.plist");
'patrol' should have an upper-case 'P' - planetPatrolAI.plist.

Thanks guys! :D
New version 1.1.7..
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?id93vhcnbkvgm60

Good news is..
Fixed the case error
4 new real nebulas
4 new invented nebulas
..that makes a total of 64 to generate from
2 had overly recognisable shapes but I liked them too much to alter them so I halved their chances of appearance
Worked more detail into four of the smokier nebulas improving the overall look of generation

Bad news is..
Eh?

Line 2 of nebulatextures.plist :)

Right O chaps, I'll add a README and the texture error should be oolite, not Oolite. A couple of the textures are still a bit 'blobby' so I'll add some more detail to those before I upload again, there's an occasional cotton-wool look they're adding. :)

I think the best thing to do with this is to remove the world-scripts.plist file from the Config folder. Nothing will be lost. The script could actually be put into another OXP. ATM it looks out of place in its current location.

In the ZygoRoids no replace package, you need to comment the closed bracket and semicolon at line 9 of the shipdata.plist. Otherwise, it won't load ;)

Like this:

Code: Select all

{
//    "asteroid" =
//	{
//	like_ship = "Zygoroid1";
//	};
//	"asteroid-alternative" =
//	{
//	like_ship = "Zygoroid4";
//	};

Thanks :)

I just thought... Have you ever considered making a rock hermit from one of your zygoroids? I believe that it would come out very well. :)
