Oolite Bulletins

I haven't played Oolite in a couple years but I just realized that, since people don't like the Constores because they make the game too easy by their location at the witchpoint, perhaps they could be incorporated into SFEP.

And of course, as mentioned, I posted the textures that I made so that someone could use them.

How did they get rusty? Were they sitting in a planet's atmosphere for years oxidizing, then finally shipped into space?

Hmm, I know I was making some modifications to this back in the day to have coloured trucks to match constores. In an old installation (I don't use this OXP anymore) I have a freighttrain1.00.oxp which also seems to contain a separate zip file within it for some edits I had done. Not sure how functi...

Hmm, looks like a year ago I introduced random coloring to the Duma (two variations), Nyoka and Chatu. Did I ever send that update to anyone?

I take it then that you aren't having a colormap as well, so that each design can have random color applied, like Griff ships do? That would be really cool to have if these can be made into a pool that doesn't offset the spawn balance.

Easier said than done. The docking bay isn't using a different texture, as I recall, so one can't just put lights on it so easily. I could see about putting light in that big square object along the side... Ideally the fellow who's been coming up with ideas for replacement models will have his model...

The only actual emissions on those would be the green panels along the outside, so yeah, if the station is in shadow, only the docking port receives light. The way the rest of it is mapped, I don't know how good it would look to add lighted 'windows'; they'd probably appear in weird places.

Use 7-Zip, Cody.

Did some more adjustment to the horizontal flare textures. For a balance of thruster glow and warp-in/out effect (which uses the same texture), here's my latest, which a few players of the game are liking so far: http://www.keeper1st.com/EL/engine1.jpg http://www.keeper1st.com/EL/warpout1.jpg There ...

Just a note: The English word is "unknown" -- not "unknow".

In this case it seems more like a glowball -- but an atmosphere would be required for you to see one, technically. I guess you could say that the engine is emitting gases and thus you see a bit of glow. But yes the game has lens flares too, but the modding introduction pack includes the lens flare t...

I see what you mean about the horizontal flares, though - they would definitely have to go! Like this: http://www.keeper1st.com/EL/engineflare1.png The same flare texture is used for the effect of ships warping in, so it's a bit bigger on the engines than I would like for the moment until I see how...

Just discovered this game. It seems more Elite than Elite. Trading, combat, building ships/stations, seamless planetary landing, mining, researching, commanding wingmen, in-space ship-to-ship trading, etc. Full 3D space with Newtonian physics but a control system that makes it quite manageable (but ...

Another pin added to the new map. So there.

I used the national flag, even though I'm embarrassed to be from the U.S. at this moment.

The swearing in has just taken place. Yep. Millions of Americans were swearing at him from their living rooms.
