This bundle adds additional alternates of core stations like a blue icosahedron and a orange rock hermit. It is based on the original shader models and textures by Griff and was remade to go along nicely with the default shipset of Oolite v1.80+ and/or for e.g. Computer with lowend graphics hardware.

Based on Instructions by Captain Solo:

(some additional effect map channels used for engine glow)
  +
  +
  +
1) Load "diffuse.png" into GIMP.
  +
2) Decompose to RGB layers. You don't need the greyscale alpha layer.
  +
3) Compose to RGB.
  +
4) Duplicate the background layer so you now have two layers.
  +
5) Change the layer mode of the top layer to overlay.
  +
6) Change the opacity setting to roughly between 70% and 80%.
  +
7) Merge the top layer down. This is your base diffuse texture
  +
8) Load "normal.png" into GIMP
  +
9) Decompose to RGBA
  +
10) Move the alpha channel to the top, select all and copy.
  +
11) Paste the copied greyscale image as a new image. This is your glow map.
  +
12) Now back to the normal map layers, delete the alpha channel.
  +
13) Compose to RGB
  +
14) Under the colors menu select Desaturate, and choose desaturate by Luminosity.
  +
15) Select all and copy. This is your pseudo relief texture.
  +
16) Go back to your diffuse texture and Paste as new layer.
  +
17) Change the layer mode to Grain Merge, and merge it down to the bottom layer.
  +
*a) Load the "effects" texture
  +
*b) decompose to RGB, copy alpha and green channel and insert each as new layer on the diffuse texture,
  +
change layer modes for them to overlay and opacity to 30%
  +
18) Now go to your greyscale glow map from step 11, select all and copy.
  +
*d) back to the decomposed effects texture from *a)
  +
*e) paste as new layer
  +
*f) set layer mode of all layers to Screen
  +
*g) Under the Image menu choose flatten image
  +
*h) select all and copy.
  +
19) Back to your diffuse texture, right click on the image, select Layer, then Mask and Add Layer Mask
  +
20) Set the layer mask to Black.
  +
21) Cntrl V - paste the glow map on top of the layer mask.
  +
22) Anchor the floating layer to the background image.
  +
23) You will see two representations in the layer dialog. Click on the left one.
  +
24) Export as your new shaderless_diffuse texture.
  +
  +
Finally you will need to edit the shipdata.plist file and change the material section to the following:
  +
materials =
  +
{
  +
"Hull" =
  +
{
  +
diffuse_map = "shaderless_diffuse.png";
  +
specular_color = ( 0.2, 0.2, 0.2 );
  +
shininess = 5;
  +
emission_map = { name = "shaderless_diffuse.png"; extract_channel = "a"; };
  +
emission_modulate_color = (0.9926, 0.9686, 0.7325);
  +
};
  +
};
  +
  +
Good luck.

   change layer modes for them to overlay and opacity to 30%

18) Now go to your greyscale glow map from step 11, select all and copy.

  • d) back to the decomposed effects texture from *a)
  • e) paste as new layer
  • f) set layer mode of all layers to Screen
  • g) Under the Image menu choose flatten image
  • h) select all and copy.

19) Back to your diffuse texture, right click on the image, select Layer, then Mask and Add Layer Mask 20) Set the layer mask to Black. 21) Cntrl V - paste the glow map on top of the layer mask. 22) Anchor the floating layer to the background image. 23) You will see two representations in the layer dialog.

Finally you will need to edit the shipdata.plist file and change the material section to the following: materials = { "Hull" = { diffuse_map = "shaderless_diffuse.png"; specular_color = ( 0.2, 0.2, 0.2 ); shininess = 5; emission_map = { name = "shaderless_diffuse.png"; extract_channel = "a"; }; emission_modulate_color = (0.9926, 0.9686, 0.7325); }; };

Good luck.

Griff's NoShader alternate/newer blue ico and and a orange rock hermit

An oxp for Oolite v1.80 and higher for alternate system stations for a noshadered ooniverse

Overview: Griff's fantastic models and textures for some alternate and extra ships and stations

In this OXP, only the textures were modified so they render well on GPU's that do not support OpenGL shading language. The clever procedure how to convert was developed by Captain SOLO.

Requirements: Tested with Oolite 1.80. No dependencies.

Installation: After unzipping, move the folder, "noshaders_CobraIII_alternate_model_v1.3.1.1.oxp" to the AddOns Folder of your Oolite installation.

Credits or rather "Standing on shoulders of giants":

  • Cody for digging through his backups to provide me with Griff's older oxps.
  • Captain Solo, who invented a clever way to convert them for computers with shaderless GPUs and helped me
 extensively to explain how it was done for his noshader shipset (now default ships for 1.80)
