Entering a space station

[jo]

So far the only thing to do in Orxonox is fly around and shoot. But at the end of a hard day a pilot wants to refuel his ship, repair the hull and have a drink at the bar.

Needed:

• a model of the interior of a space station. (Doesn't something like this already exist?)

Apply in the level:

• docking

Next steps:

• create an interactive environment (think about what the player could do in a space station)
• simulate activity (pilots, mechanics, traders & robots moving around)

I think this could be made a PPS project. It is too much of a task to design a fully implemented space station interior, but building a model and making a docking process trigger a fixed camera and some menus inside it could be doable. Also, I think re-introducing the concept of team projects would be a good idea if we are that many people.

There exists a BSP model for the interior of a space station. Orxonox doesn't support BSP models (yet?), but Ogre does.

Levels may contain different scenes (the <Scene> element in XML). I suggest to put the interior into a different scene. Note however that you can't move an existing WorldEntity from one scene to another.

demo-level exists, docking is implemented, everything else is covered by #402
