You need to have a vessel with a light defined (for instance, the modified stock deltaglider included in the new beta) shine the light onto the vessel.

Is this in the manual, or is there a specific process or code that can be posted here or is already posted elsewhere (speaking of that, I'll be searching the forums for similar occurances)?

Adding lights to a vessel is documented in the API reference included within the orbitersdk folder of the beta package.

 

[Star Voyager]

I downloaded the 100815 package and I'm not seeing anything labeled "API". In fact, most of the items in the Orbitersdk folder are empty :shrug:.

 

[Lucy]

The API reference is in the "doc" folder of the "orbitersdk" folder.

 

[Star Voyager]

Aha! I was donloading 100815, not 100812. I found the document. Thank you :tiphat:!

 

[Lucy]

The beta versions are differences of Orbiter 100606. This means you should unpack Orbiter 100606 and unpack the beta into that orbiter folder. By themselves, difference packages are incomplete and will not work.

All full versions of Orbiter 2010 will have that file present.

I present...the mother of all stacks:

Two Longshots, Two JamesCooks, 4 DeltagliderIVs, 9 SSBB modules, 150 crewmembers, 400 trillion kilometers on the odometer.

I spy Ups And d's rings in the top picture and thats one big ship.(with a few things attached) Nice.

That's the one. I told you I'd scouted out your system with one ship. Well, this is my follow-up.

OT: Is it weird that this reminds me of that scene from Finding Nemo where Dory and Marlin were huddled around the Angler fish's lure?
I can just imagine that DG going "It's...so...pretty"

hope you can see it

You've got two http:// parts in that image URL.

 

[Stevodoran]

ok i fixed it

 

[Lucy]

Photobucket's wrapper is breaking it. Linking to http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Stevodoran/orbiter/wmplayer2010-08-1414-32-47-96.jpg should fix it - that's the actual image, rather than the photobucket page that the image is on.

 

[Woo482]

Doesn't look like you did try using the "IMG Code" link from the "Share this image" menu, that should work

also woo482 here is the whole base with your rover http://s909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Stevodoran/orbiter/?action=view&current=orbiter2010-08-1913-36-59-92.jpg&newest=1#!oZZ4QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs909.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac299%2FStevodoran%2Forbiter%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3Dorbiter2010-08-1913-36-05-23.jpg%26newest%3D1

And how on earth are you going to point this contraption anywhere you want, let alone at 5 fps? :lol:

Well, I managed to break my solar system. That's the Moon in the foreground and the Earth in the background. My Arrow Freighter crew is going to be SO disappointed when they try to fly back home.




/but it would make for an interesting reentry.

Admittedly, it takes around a week in-sim to point it where I want by using translation thrusters and the Rcontrol module to use two ships at once, but once it's there, it won't budge. I made sure everything was centered, so I have no COG problems with it. Actually, for the initial braking manoeuvre (slowing down from 2Mm/s...I figured slowing down from the high fraction of C the vessel would travel at for the majority of the journey was an unreasonable request which Orbiter would have difficulty handling...it's also really boring :lol the vessel is already aligned. One Longshot's engines to speed up, the other vessel's engines to slow down.

So far I've managed to enter a 0-eccentricity orbit around Ups And d, and everything's working well, if a little slow.
