Haven't been around for a looong time...

Post by Zireael »

Ok, I come back after a loong time (because I dreamed of Oolite last night)... and what do I find? Most old links broken, version 1.77.1 is out, CaptSolo and KillerWolf have gone MIA and taken their OXPs with them and I can't find where to grab nightlies now... Heelp! I'm lost!

I wonder how many users from a time past do this? It's been at least a year since I last posted. (Not that I ever posted much :P)

Hello,

I've returned after a LONG stint on Minecraft, I come back to find that my ship now has gas exhaust flames issuing from the engines. Is there any forum threads that list what changes were made in 1.77 and which OXP's work and what need to be updated? Also, any recommended new OXP's that people like (over the last twelve months)? I see, for example, there's a new salvage OXP.

The release announcements for 1.77 and 1.77.1 would be good places to start.

The main list of OXPs on the Wiki is now sortable, and includes compatibility ratings and notes for most OXPs. Some newer OXPs may not yet be listed, however.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

"Some" work occured in this year, my favourites (last 15 months for sure, in alphabetical order):

[wiki]Aliens[/wiki]
[wiki]Breakable_Life_Support_System[/wiki]
Bullet Drive
[wiki]Camera_Drones[/wiki]
[wiki]Combat_Simulator_OXP[/wiki]
CustomShields
[wiki]Distant_Suns[/wiki]
EnergyBomb
[wiki]Galactic_Navy_Additions[/wiki]
[wiki]GalTech_Escape_Pods[/wiki]
[wiki]In-System_Market_Restore[/wiki]
[wiki]Market_Inquirer[/wiki]
[wiki]MarketObserver[/wiki] with enabled Commodity Markets
[wiki]Planetary_Compass_OXP[/wiki]
[wiki]PovrayPlanets_OXP[/wiki] with updated [wiki]Famous_Planets_OXP[/wiki]
[wiki]Quirium_Cascade_Mine_Detector[/wiki]
[wiki]Skilled_NPCs_OXP[/wiki]
Sonoran
[wiki]Start_Choices[/wiki]
[wiki]Stations_for_Extra_Planets[/wiki]
[wiki]System_Features_Rings[/wiki]
[wiki]Trophy_Collector[/wiki]

My OXPs also new (and I like all of them of course ;) ), maybe the download statistics help a bit to choose:

[wiki]Detectors[/wiki] 153
[wiki]Telescope[/wiki] 149
[wiki]Towbar[/wiki] 144
[wiki]Gallery[/wiki] 81 (in 3 weeks, others measured 3 months ago)
[wiki]HardShips[/wiki] 70
[wiki]ShipVersion[/wiki] 62
[EliteWiki] SellAll 34

Incidentally I am surprised by the popularity of Detectors due to it is a simple peeper addon, compared to all others which are contains many ideas and was much harder to make.

Thanks for the heads' up! I'm now checking to see what other delicious looking OXP are for the tasting. :D
