Oolite Bulletins

Cool, I will take a look at the Moray next :D I had a ship in mind not mentioned yet, the viper. But as phkb said, completely your call. ;) I did consider working on the Viper once, but the thing is that only the police use it so a texture pack would not be that useful. Also, phkb and I worked on so...

Thanks all, I am glad you all like them

@phkb I do intend to create texture packs for all default ships Do you have a preference for the next one?

Version 1.2 released with three new paint jobs:

The minimalist HUD looks awesome, thank you so much for putting up with all my requests! I am working on a major overhaul of the Dangerous HUD and this will be a neat new feature!

19/07/2018 - version 1.11: - cockpit lighting changes intensity when toggling weapons in minimal mode. - enabled minimal mode by default (i.e. crosshairs only in red alert or when weapons are on, else they fade out). * * * I would really like to know if you guys like this feature. The effect is subt...

People already rarely (if ever) use it because loading the last save may be just as good a solution. Imagine how much use it will get if it can't even do the job it's advertised for at all times.

I think this is a very good point.

@phkb how likely is it for this scenario to happen? If it's very unlikely then I do like the idea of a possible failure.

New version 1.10 just released:
- cockpit lighting changes colour when in red alert or if HUD is damaged (using Breakable HUD/IFF Scanner OXP)

@another_commander The behaviour of the AI seems better from what I can tell but I did have some crashes using this executable together with the latest nightly. Are you on NVidia graphics? If yes, disable "Multi-threading Optimizations" in the NVidia control panel. Edit: Alternatively, check whethe...

@another_commander The behaviour of the AI seems better from what I can tell but I did have some crashes using this executable together with the latest nightly. @phkb did you have more success testing this?

Thanks for all the info. I still did not have the chance to test that executable but I will do so tonight.

Hadn't realized there was a link to a compiled exe file. Thanks Cody!

Hmm, I just realized now that these modifications are for the source code and not for any game files post-compilation, right? I am quite unfamiliar with Oolite compilation and this might take me a while to figure out. Sorry about that!

Out of curiosity, what is the distribution of dumb ships in the game? How is accuracy set for the default NPCs? Is that dependent on the type of system?

I will test this later tonight and report back. Thank you so much for taking a look at this!
