Oolite Bulletins

Can I just ask: if there is a medical emergency announced on GNN or Snoopers - does this reflect in the medicine prices either where I am (less likely) or at the affected spots? Honestly, I have no idea how Snoopers handles economic events. It will be good to include broadcast messages dealing with...

SW Economy Actual version - SW Economy 3.8.0 Uploaded 16.01.2021 This OXP gives additional flavor to Oolite economy. Redefined system economy profiles First, this OXP changes canonic descriptor of system economy. Vanilla descriptions seems controversial. Why Poor Agricultural system market have mor...

Is it very difficult to change the game maps? Then we really could explore for real! Not difficult technically - you can change system coordinates, names, descriptions etc in planetinfo.plist. Just laborious. IMHO the most challenging part of work is to redefine system populator, AIs, ships, equipm...

Leesti is Moon 0.3.0 and Leesti is Moon LSM 0.3.0 uploaded. Original van Vliet's diffuse map in these updates was replaced to diffuse map from CGI Moon Kit by NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio. This diffuse map has only color information, not shadows. Polar distortions on van Vliet's normal ma...

TextEdit has two output formats - RTF (by default) and plain text. Switch to plain text to edit code - it will be new default settings for all files opened by TextEdit . Plain text has no any hidden characters and safe to modify code. TextEdit is a good simple general-purpose editor, but it has no ...

Cobra Mk I is very interesting scenario, I like it. It gives you challenge to deserve Cobra Mk III.

@another_commander Thank you for info! There are no 8192x4096 px resolution displacement map on NASA CGI Moon Kit page. Is it right to rescale 23040x11520 px file first and than convert it to normal map as second step? And what original file will be more suitable - float or uint? Seems that floating...

@ another_commander New diffuse map is fine (needs some light curve rebalance to adopt to Oolite lighting - already done). New normal map is not so good. Too soft shadows, complete loss of shadows from small craters, ridges and gullies - it ruins impression of celestial body lacking atmosphere. So I...

Regarding copyright. Almost all work, and all most critical part of work, is yours, and I feel I have no right to declare myself as author. Co-authorship maybe, another_commander & stranger? Feel free to author it as you prefer. I have no particular preference and am happy either way. :-) All right...

Does anybody know where to find the file shipdata.plist on a Mac? Right-click Oolite.app and select Show package content Content/Resources/Config/shipdata.plist Would like to try to alter the default Adder having a 5 tons instead of 2 tons cargo bay. 8) It is a bad idea to modify any content in Res...

Thank you! I understand the issue. Seems I was not patient enough to search for more suitable resource :oops: I'll reassemble OXP using your textures. Regarding copyright. Almost all work, and all most critical part of work, is yours, and I feel I have no right to declare myself as author. Co-author...

Great work anyway. The game looks very nice with your textures.

Thank you and happy New Year!

Habitable Main Planets - unique textures for ALL 2048 main planets. Using planetinfo.plist settings for procedural generated textures, so it is lite. Just less than 1 MB, not several GB. Planetary Systems - generates and paints additional planets. 12 texture subsets, 5 textures each - 60 in sum. Al...

Well, there is old trick to switch multiple OXPs at once. 1. Create folder MyTestingGround in your AddOns folder 2. Place all your experimental OXPs onto this folder 3. Add .oxp expansion to this folder. MyTestingGround -> MyTestingGround.oxp Now you can switch this "super-OXP": MyTestingGround.oxp ...

And it is easy to manage experimental packages in AddOns folder without adding/removing content. Just change MyAnotherCoolIdea.oxp to MyAnotherCoolIdea.oxp OFF to temporary disable it, edit, change to MyAnotherCoolIdea.oxp again to activate it, test!
