Does anyone have this OXP? (Read:"I wanna I wanna I wanna")

I think the master list of OXPs needs a major overhaul, and the table should include the author and the known good versions. I'd be happy to make a start...Sendraks wrote:Could use a list of OXPs compatible with 1.73 as well.Commander McLane wrote:And probably the Wiki needs some clean-up.
Also the page is a bit long now, so maybe we should have the table in one page and split off the List-of-OXPs-by-function into a separate page. That's not really much worse than having one page that you have to edit twice at opposite ends like we have now...

Pretty as it is, that two-tone table makes adding new entries a serious PITA too.. maybe it needs to go..
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

I agree maybe you should start a poll before you do change it though.

I wasn't planning changing it.. just throwing the idea out there to see what reaction it got..

I'm pretty sure I read some comments on this OXP, so I'm pretty sure this OXP is real.Commander McLane wrote:Don't know. Looks like somebody put the same two empty ship templates all over the Wiki, and that was that.
Therefore, I don't think there is anything like a Cat-Alliance.oxp.
And probably the Wiki needs some clean-up.

Well, in that case I'd suggest you start with a search for it here on the boards. Perhaps some comments turn up here. But I doubt it. I've never seen anything else than these very obviously incomplete ship templates. An I don't even recall a board member with "Adam" as an avatar, although he could use anothere name here, of course. The guy who created the pages and spread them all over the wiki has also a user page, I suggest having as look at it. You will see that Makarius during his Wiki clean-up tried to contact the guy via his user page, but there was never any response, and this was more than a year ago.Chaky wrote:I'm pretty sure I read some comments on this OXP, so I'm pretty sure this OXP is real.Commander McLane wrote:Don't know.

So my conclusion at this point would be that the OXP in question, if not dead, at least smells funny.
I'd say that a automatically generated table would be the best option.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use the wiki categories completely and properly? Then it'd be auto-compiling...
My OXPs via Boxspace or from my Wiki pages .

Yupp. But you will need additional infos (description, version number, max version, etc). I don't know if this works with a simple category .-)Thargoid wrote:Wouldn't it be easier just to use the wiki categories completely and properly? Then it'd be auto-compiling...
So if a user is searching for a list of oxps that are compatible to v1.65, he has to visit every listed page. Probably not so user friendly.
Edit: Can this part of the discussion be moved to the WIKI-topic?
