About

Griff Industries has released some awesome shipmodels which use normalmapping and shader effects to produce some of the best looking ships available in Oolite. In 2012 Captain Solo started to convert the Oolite core ships Griff's No Shaders shipset for computers without a shader capable graphics card. With Oolite v1.80 these ships are now used as default ships.

These OXPs/OXZs began as a pet project aiming to provide some of Griff's other extra, alternate or some missing vessels as addition to the new v1.80 default shipsset.

After my first miserable tries to understand how these textures are to be recomposed I had contacted "Captain Solo". He was so kind to help me to sort things out, gave me a detailed instruction how to convert/combine the original marvelous textures, so they work out on low-end machines like mine. I just changed a few things to add the engine glows and such, too.

So most credits have to go to Captain Solo who helped me tremendously how to compose Griff's awesome textures to no shadered ones, and of course to Griff for his great ship designs. My only work was merely some GIMP work and some simple shipdata/shipyard editing.


Important Notice

The OXP/OXZ require Oolite v1.80+. If you want to use the OXZs bundles, please deinstall any individual OXPs of these ships.
