One can reach the Rift Worlds in normal gameplay!

Yup, but with a few of them without OXP's you can't get out



Consider yourself retired

Hey, there is a rotating tombstone, if I remember this correctly. Does the random hits OXP not reward you with such after a successfull kill?

...the ship in front of me showed as offender. my question is could i have shot him? or does shooting in the aegis even if its at an offender is disapproved of by the law? You can shoot any offender/fugitive in the aegis and GalCop view it as doing them a favour. You would get awarded the kill plus...

You are right, this caused exactly what you described.

Sounds just what I had to do to get my oxp working.... just flung in a few curly brackets around till the stupid thing parsed!!!

I think I may have accidently clickeed on a report button somewhere when trying out the forum. Sorry!

As long as it was to report on how overpowered a certain small ship from the future introduced by a Friendly Gourd is, then that is no problem at all.

Could you post your entire log entry.

A Friendly Gourd has already  been there, done that



Time to go back to my normal avatar.

I do like OXP's like this that encourage you to have a look inside and tweak to your hearts content. It gets you to learn about the game and the possibilities that the game really offers opens up more once you start to understand how things work.

One of the reasons I am not really a fan of the OXZ format. Any OXZ's I have downloaded I always convert them back to OXP.

But this is not the thread for such a discussion.

That could be an oxp idea, you are contracted to pilot and deliver different ships to clients. There could be a lot of potential to vary the difficulty and get a bonus for delivering it without a scratch and you get reduced pay depending on damage.

I have not heard of a 1.80 BBC file to date. If anyone is thinking of making one they would be better holding off till the next release as there is a good chance that there will be new shiny stuffs needing new shiny keys. Might be quicker editing the file yourself. If anyone knows of a file kicking ...

If you want to set your keys to something different edit the Oolite/oolite.app/Resources/Config/keyconfig file. Don't use Notepad as it will break it use something like Notepad++. You can then change the keys to the BBC setup and also change the other functions that Oolite adds.

<Handwavium> An unscrupulous trader had a contract to deliver the stuffs to the system but (because of obvious events could not deliver) instead of being out of pocket decided to see if a gullible trader, who didn't check the destination before accepting a contract, could be found! </Handwavioum> :r...

I just have two copies of Oolite installed. One is called Testing the other is just Oolite.

Still hold the record though
