Hello fellow space travellers.

I'm Dave, I first played Elite on my C64, then on my Amiga 500. The game is one of the pillars of my life and Oolite allows me to continue the love-in.

Thank you to everyone who has helped create Oolite and the many creative folks who have made the many fantastic OXPs which have taken the game to another level.

I have modded a few OXPs for my own in-game experience and I am here because I need some help getting a couple of OXPs to work the way I want to, namely the Ore Processor and my own modded "Temple of Groove" stations that are a variant of the "Ryan's Villa" oxp.

Hope to see you about the forums.

Dave.

Hello fellow space travellers.
Hi Dave and welcome.

Speccy veteran here but yeah, the original concept and execution were something else. Beutifully flawed in places perhpas but that too was part of the charm.

Check out the tinkerer's workshop thread (if you don't already know it) or even the scripter's cove (under 'expansion pack' section of site), both great places to ask for help as well as the thread of the relevant oxp.

More power to your energy banks,

R.

Welcome and Bienvenue! Hoping you survive the dreaded experience of the "Friendliest BB this side of Reidquat"!


What the dickens is a Temple of Groove? What does it do - and whom does it do it to? (And have you nosed around the LitF oxp? Latest alpha download is here).
