Re: Planetfall OXP

Great, Norby :D . One thing that might need a little considering is that reading through this thread clearly reveals that the original author intended the landing to be abstract instead of locational. Main reason seemed to be different planetary textures and possibly strange landings to sea sites. ...

Re: HD background images

Along similar lines, the space section of this site could also be a useful source. Can't find details about licensing etc though from a quick look, but may be worth investigating?

And if all else fails, it has minions ;)

Re: BGS - The BackgroundSet

Simpler stuff is possible though - for example install Aquatics and go visit their HQ in G3 (Aqualina, the system formerly known as Ribiara before the OXZ renames it).

Re: Broken OXZs and OXZ Manager

<grins> Still lurking, Big T? Yup :twisted: . Like to pop in when I can, albeit not as often as I used to and would like. Nice to see the progress toward 1.82 as well, even if I don't have time to contribute much any more. But there seems to be more than enough fine OXZ writers now to fill any gap ...

Re: Broken OXZs and OXZ Manager
