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 and accessories as a nice addition to the new v1.80 default shipsset.
After the first miserable tries to understand how these textures are to be recomposed "Captain Solo" was so kind to help to sort things out, gave detailed instructions how to convert/combine the original marvelous textures, so they work out on low-end machines like mine. Additionally just a few things to add the engine glows and such were changed in the process.
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. The rest of the work was merely some GIMP work and some simple shipdata/shipyard editing.
