My Ubuntu install behaves the same as Mauiby's.

Could it be a missile-mounted piece of equipment? I know a lot of other equipment OXPs do this. Select your "transponder missile", fire it, and then the OXP switches you into "fake viper" mode for a set period of time - maybe 3 minutes, or until you next dock (whichever happens f...

Re: OXP suggestion - Galcop OXP

- GalCop transponder. This piece of hardware can be bought from hacker outposts, and when activated makes your ship show up purple on other ships' radar screens. I somehow like the idea, but I am not sure about how OXPable it is. You would need an alternative pirateAI to deal with the case, and an ...

OXP suggestion - Galcop OXP

Since I lack any of the necessary skills to make an OXP of my own, I thought I'd post my ideas here. I have an idea for a GalCop OXP. Here are some thoughts: - GalCop transponder. This piece of hardware can be bought from hacker outposts, and when activated makes your ship show up purple on other sh...

Well, the planets in question seem to have the old-fashioned randomly-generated textures. I was expecting pretty planets with visible cities, oceans, landmasses, clouds etc like in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13bq-R0jWnA Instead Lave is just a swirly green colour. I assumed the descriptive texts ...

I removed the script file, the bad kraits went away. Next OXP question: I have the FamousPlanets 2.5 oxp installed, but Lave, Zaonce etc don't look particularly famous. I don't think the oxp is working. I see the liners occasionally (and even came across a swarm of escape pods once, which I suspect ...

Even if this were posible, Im not sure that it would really help to illuminate small objects, I think they tend to be pretty well lit by the sun anyway so Im not too sure that you would see much of a difference. Yeah, but it would look really cool. Imagine cruising up to the unlit side of a space s...

...and comes with a free rear view mirror furry trumble. :shock: This idea is worthy of an OXP of its own. Not only mirror-danglers, but gaudy nodding dashboard ornaments, religious statuettes/ lucky charms, loose change, YAH-branded coffee cups and the like all piled up on the dash, all rolling an...

Usually a couple of griffs and maybe a blood krait.

Regarding point 1: sounds like you installed the Furball OXP. Hm, I checked but it seems I didn't have that one installed. It's always Kraits attacking me, do any of the krait OXPs add in kraity rascals? Could I figure it out by looking in the OXP's text files? Which files should I look at? Came ac...

#3 is a function of the Eagle2 OXP. There will always be half a dozen hostile Eagles at Zaonce's witchpoint as long as you have it installed. It takes a second for them to notice you, though, so hitting injectoors immediately after arriving in-system sometimes get you clear. Addendum: Had a peek in...

Thanks for the replies. Furball.oxp - cool, I will see if I have that installed and remove it. Temporarily, at least. I like a challenge, but I also think there should be breathing spaces and relatively safe zones in the game. Kaks - I have played extensively without oxps (including the original Eli...

A whole mess of OXPs

HI, I have downloaded about a zillion OXPs and installed them into my 1.7.4.2 Ubuntu oolite. I am amazed how well they all seem to play together. Only thing is, I have installed so many that I don't quite know what is doing what: 1 - I started a new game. Traded in my cobraIII for an Eagle so I coul...

Seeing those adverts on the side of the ship like that... How about an OXP that lets the player mount billboards on the side of his ship, and then get paid for displaying adverts? - You have to buy the billboard mounting kits yourself. They each take up a side gun slot, meaning you can't mount weapo...
