Oolite Bulletins

Does BPlanets add moons [...] ? Does BPlanets add extra planets [...] ? No, and no. The main purpose of this would be to bring in different/better(?) textures (or for the re-shading option, means) to enhance the look of the planet entities. The "different texture" path (consider it dead) -- was mea...

[...] Also, when I look at the Github nothing makes sense, for example, where is the main .c program? [...] I know this, let me: you won't find a "main .c" program, because Objective-C has a "main.m" program :twisted: For Oolite you'll find it in src/Core/SDL folder of the source code. Welcome to t...

[...] Sweet was the sound of yawners wailing and gnashing their teeth! Hah, no denture damage here! As a non-religious yaw user myself, I had to adapt to FD's vision of favouring pitch/roll over pitch/yaw. Luckily, my keyboard/mouse setup integrates quite nicely pitch/yaw with the mouse, and roll f...

Not sure about your MacOS version, and/or python setup. On a Slackware Linux, for "oolite-debug-console-1.5", under "Python 2.7.17", I had to install the following to have it up and running (sorry, no pip, not sure to what extent it deals with dependencies): attrs-19.3.0 constantly-15.1.0 incrementa...

<chortles> Progress - one of the big three threads. [...] Wild guess: Progress, Screenshots and Science Fiction Trivia ? [...] My current synopsis of Jens is the following: [...] fearsome partisan for Yaw in the [[Roll vs Yaw crusades‎]] [...] <chuckles while hearing Cody <sniggering> next room> :t...

Stargate SG1: The Nox and/or the Reetou (for reference, season 1 episode 13 and season 2 episode 20, respectively).

At least, as opposed to EVEOnline, and/or what's going to be (ever?!) StarCitizen, there is a "Solo Play" option ... If they ever take that out, I'll go for a refund

[...] code changes or using plists and providing the vertex/fragment shaders? There are some "code" changes at the moment, but not on Objective-C sources, only in shader (oolite-default-planet.fragment) source. Very likely will need to go to my first (1. (easy) bringing uniforms) point above, which...

Surface looks great but are they clouds? [...] Them clouds are those provided by the OOTB (out of the box) game. :D Here's a more cloudy example: https://i.postimg.cc/Gm7Qb1Nk/Ensoreus-01.png These are from my attempt to "move" the planet textures creation in the shader. Even for only the diffuse +...

Whew, heightmap -> normalmap finally done!

[...] Step 2. Let there be map - create/copy/adapt any favorite GLSL noise based sample you consider worthy to replace the new diffuseColor value (and deduce the new normal value from it) A quick (Oolite in-game) composition to test planet map generation in shaders: https://i.postimg.cc/kXVGHRy8/Le...

[...] By the way, anybody checking into the IRC oolite channel once in a while, or is this pretty much abandoned?

Hah, I'd guess as long as the channel is still on, at least the channel's bot would check 24/7
(at least that's how I remember it was in Undernet)

[...] It is a bad idea to modify any content in Resource folder. [...] Seconded. [...] Create your own OXP, copy shipdata.plist onto this OXP and modify it [...] Or just create a folder named ~/Library/Application Support/Oolite/AddOns/Config , and copy the shipdata.plist there, and modify it.

Hah, ok, I'd guess the easiest way to answer your petition would be to include two keyconfig.plist files in the distro (e.g. keyconfig.plist.roll and keyconfig.plist.yaw) and "deploy" the chosen version during installation.
You can also batch/shell script this for any post-installation change of mind.
