Missing OXPs

[mandoman]

Hello again. I've been gone quite a while, and just recently started playing again for fun. I use to have several of my own oxps, but lost them several years ago. I don't know how, but I no longer can find the files for them. I have managed to download several of them from the oxp list, but a few remain missing. If anyone has copies of the OXPs listed bellow, I would sure appreciate a copy of them.

Solar Wing
Feramborini
Eruptor
SideShooter
Boomarang
SunBird
Petra
Sangreli Trader
Mandotech WarBirds
Persephone

It's not a huge deal if they are gone for good, but it would be fun to get them all back again. Having a good time playing again. Thanks.

Kudos, mandoman!

Only wimps use tape backup. REAL men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.

Welcome back again!

I only tried two (Feramborini & Eruptor). Both have working links to Box downloads from their respective wiki pages.

I’ve a “Welcome Back” pm with recent news on it but need a better internet connection before I can send it to you…

[mandoman]

Those Box links worked for you? They don’t for me, and I have tried several times. That’s weird. Oh well, if you get set up with a better connection, keep me in mind.

Hello,
I managed to download Feramborini and put it here (It will be deleted after few weeks and it is HTTP, not httpS) http://download.gilhad.cz/oolite/Feramborini1.1.oxp.zip
I had no luck with any other on the box

[mandoman]

Hey man, thanks a lot, but for some reason I can't seem to open that link. I use Linux, but I'm not sure that should make any difference.

[mandoman]

Oh, another ship OXP to add to the missing list is the VTBSships.

the app trick did it again --> change www.box with app.box

Man, thanks a lot. I always had a soft spot for the rubber chicken. I think it's one that I might have designed an interior to fit. Thanks.

I tried download it before I posted the link (on Linux, Firefox) and it worked. I can see 7 attempts from same IP there later (17:09), first was 200 OK (asked whole file and send it all, 300857bytes - same as my test), next 6 was 206 (browser asked part of file, server returned part of file, half was 1 byte, other half was 286658 bytes) and nothing other unusual. And one access from another IP much later, with 200 OK (23:36, 300857bytes).

But if you got it other way, then it is OK

[mandoman]

Gilhad, your link worked ok. I’m not sure what I did differently, but it works for me now. Thanks.

[gilhad]

Good to hear

[mandoman]

Well, this request is solved as I was able to recover all my OXPs. I finally tried replacing the www, with app (as suggested) on the missing ship OXP links, and bingo. Thanks to those who helped me on this.

Now it is time to polish them a bit and then register them to the expansions catalog. Then you can get them installed with a mouselick.

[mandoman]

I don’t understand. They are already on the OXP list page.
