No OXP installed

Post by zodraz2001 »

Have added a number of packs, applied the changes and restarted but no files in the add-on directory, the in-game menu says they are installed, what am I doing wrong?

Hi, and welcome aboard. Did you install the expansion packs from the in-game Expansion Manager? If so, they won't be in the AddOns folder.
Instead, they'll be in the ManagedAddOns folder. They work happily from there, and don't need to be in the AddOns folder.

And ... (if you did not "restart" through the Expansions Manager options, did you restart with the shift key held down?

When adding or removing OXPs/OXZs, that shouldn't be needed.

E:\oolite\oolite.app\GNUstep\Library\ApplicationSupport\Oolite\ManagedAddOns

Found them, 7 steps down the tree! I do a restart from the game menu when adding or removing.

Thank you for your help.
