Oolite Bulletins

[...] 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.

[...] give us realistic fly-by-wire controls [...] (Disclaimer: not a developer) I really understand that roll vs yaw is as an awful religious war as vi vs emacs (just to state the obvious). I'll tell here and now that, because I'm mainly a desktop user, I'd expect the screen view to follow my mous...

I've been reading the default planet shader and it looks like normal maps with cube map is supported. What makes me curious is how you've reproduced the 'hairy ball' tangent space with blender to get these awesome normal maps. I had always assumed that cube map normals would need to be object space...

The reason another_commander asked you to use "that" option, was to improve your "score" in your log file for the OpenGL renderer: 18:50:26.283 [rendering.opengl.version]: OpenGL renderer version: 2.1.0 As an example what I have on a NVidia graphics card is: 18:32:23.212 [rendering.opengl.version]: ...

My other suggestion would be to try to compile Oolite yourself, or try to get a "debug" version. As I am not the best "debugger" around, what I would do, would be to peek into the src/Core/OOJoystickManager.m and/or src/Core/OOJoystickProfile.m , and try to do some logging in the button detection/al...

I'm not too versed into (docker) containers, but from what I gathered they seem to be what I'd call "vandalized" virtual machines (i.e. stripped to a -- very -- bare minimum emulation wise, as compared with, say, qemu, virtualbox, vmware & co). I'm not even sure they are supposed to execute a vanill...

Welcome to the forum, commander! I am not sure if the controller you mention is the same I'm thinking of (the one with the glowing sphere at one end, released for PS3), but I never tried to connect one of these to the PC. It might be worthwhile to also test the joystick for the SDL library (which is...
