Griff's No Shaders Shipset
Contents
About
Griff has made some fantastic models of ships which use normalmapping and shader effects to produce some of the best looking ships available in Oolite. They render as intended on hardware that supports full shader capabilities. This OXP began as a personal project to bring Griff's ship set into a shaderless Ooniverse. Methods are outlined below. Announcements are made on the forum, so keep an eye on this thread.
Important Notice
The models, textures, and configuration files in this OXP have been included in the core game installation since Oolite 1.79 development version. Therefore, this OXP has become redundant and is no longer maintained.
