This Oolite Expansion Pack (OXP) is a replacement texture set giving the ships in Oolite a new 'realistic' look. This is achieved by applying new textures (skins) to the original models which improve the look of the game while preserving authenticity and originality... the ships are the same shape, but much better looking!

This OXP features some beautiful lighting effects which do not require shaders.

Several also feature hull spotlighting. The ships' hulls also have realistic shininess and reflectiveness.

Smivs'Shipset v4.0 is the first Oolite ship set with dynamic textures which change in game to show NPC damage during combat. If you or an NPC shoot-up another ship to the point where its shields fail and it starts throwing sparks, the texture is changed 'on the fly' to one with visible damage - you will actually see laser scoring and holes punched in the hull.

If the ship under attack has an escape capsule and the pilot ejects, the ship will then go derelict. As the reactor shuts down the engine glow fades and the ship starts to tumble gently in space. As it tumbles, it loses all power. The interior and external lights fade out, and finally the ship loses its navigation strobes.

Another exciting visual feature of v4.0 is enhanced death effects. Normally, when you kill another ship you get a brief and rather weedy little flash. With Smivs'Shipset v4.0 when a ship is destroyed, it will explode dramatically, and for a split second you may even see large chunks of burning wreckage before they also explode.

Damaged python from Smiv's ShipSet

Overview

This Oolite Expansion Pack (OXP) is a replacement texture set giving the ships in Oolite a new 'realistic' look. This is achieved by applying new textures (skins) to the original models which improve the look of the game while preserving authenticity and originality... the ships are the same shape, but much better looking!

The models used are the original models from Oolite v1.65 which have been adapted for use in Smivs'Shipset. These base models have been enhanced with the addition of gun and engine sub-entities.

Smivs'Shipset v4.0 includes additional versions of many of the standard ships for more variety. In total, there are over 40 different ship textures.

This OXP features some beautiful lighting effects which do not require shaders. The ships have illuminated cockpit and porthole windows, strobing Navigation Lights and other additional lights, plus 'glow' effects for the radiators/heat-exchangers. Several also feature hull spotlighting. The ships' hulls also have realistic shininess and reflectiveness.

The Galcop Viper Interceptor, Python Blackdog (pirate) and Python Trader, FerDeLance Hunter and FerDeLance Executive, Boa Trader, Anaconda Trader, Adder Scavenger, Krait Hunter, Viper Pursuit, Asp Pirate and the Constrictor are all added to the Start-up demo ships display.

Special features

Smivs'Shipset v4.0 is the first Oolite ship set with dynamic textures which change in game to show NPC damage during combat. If you or an NPC shoot-up another ship to the point where its shields fail and it starts throwing sparks, the texture is changed 'on the fly' to one with visible damage - you will actually see laser scoring and holes punched in the hull.

If the ship under attack has an escape capsule and the pilot ejects, the ship will then go derelict. As the reactor shuts down the engine glow fades and the ship starts to tumble gently in space. As it tumbles, it loses all power. The interior and external lights fade out, and finally the ship loses its navigation strobes.

Another exciting visual feature of v4.0 is enhanced death effects. Normally, when you kill another ship you get a brief and rather weedy little flash. With Smivs'Shipset v4.0 when a ship is destroyed, it will explode dramatically, and for a split second you may even see large chunks of burning wreckage before they also explode.

Also included in Smivs'Shipset is a kit which will allow you to make a custom texture for the player Cobra Mk 3. This is a very easy process and will allow you to personalise your own Cobra Mk 3 if you want to. Full instructions are included.

Battle Damage OXP

The older versions of Battle Damage would also replace the player's ship texture if damaged. Smiv's ShipSet only replaces the NPC ship textures.
