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

But… The OXP list page is not really used anymore. Cim’s in-game Expansions Manager was universally used until all the relevant downloading url’s were changed. Hiran’s Oolite Starter is also now used.

OXPs not on the Expansions Manager (Galactic Navy, Povray Planets) have thus mostly fallen by the wayside. Ditto with your ships.

Times have changed. In old days a wiki page was state of the art. Then the website was extended so OXP developers could add their extensions to a database from which a catalog file was generated. This catalog is read and presented to users by the in game expansion manager as well as OoliteStarter. Users see available expansions and can install/uninstall them with one keystroke. OoliteStarter has a few more gimmicks - but that is not important now. The database is gone and has been replaced with a repository on Github, but the catalog is still present in the background.

If you want your OXPs to be presented by the two expansion managers you create an issue in https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... on-catalog

Okay, that clears up some things I couldn't understand. You're right, I'm getting old. I'll have to look into the OXZ conversions. I don't know as my old stuff is worth it, but I'll check it out. Thanks.

Well, that’s not for me to say.
