iirc: Wolfies was a bit rushed.

Let me know if there is a comment at the top of the plist files - that's where I tended to to them when it's a work in progress.
Nope, nothing there. Unless I've missed an update since I first grabbed the trio 13 months ago, that's how they ship.

OK - looks like I didn't upload the latest before things went bad this end.

No worries, anyone questions your actions, cite this thread.

I've offered and am currently hosting some files for both Griff and PAGroove. If you'd like, I can give you hosting space same as them. I have a 150GB of space but unlimited bandwidth. I can provide you an ID/PW for you to upload to the site. Just let me know...

@Cmd Cheyd,

If Simon does take you up on the offer, I'm happy to 'suck' the files off your share and add them to the growing list on my OXP repository at www.alaise.com.au/Oolite/OXPList.html

I'm hoping to have the full suite of OXPs on there by the end of this week and then start on 'other' Oolite files

I realise that the easiest way would be for me to offer upload ability to SimonB, but with the site being for my livelyhood, I'm not keen to allow posts to it (no offence to anyone here - I'm just paranoid)

Let me know how you go

Thanx

VAZ

Page not Found. I'm assuming what I am seeing is your custom 404 page.

Cmd. Cheyd: that sounds like a good idea.

www.hbclinux.net.nz/oolite.html is back online.

yeah 'custom' 404 page

I forgot to do a capital O for the Oolite directory - it's all better now.

I'll 'suck' the files off SimonB's link and post them up there!!!

@SimonB

I've got everything from your links except the Neolite Companion - it's link connects directly to a directory - not a file

I could browse the filelist and have a guess, but I thought you'd like to fix it first

Oh dear...

There goes tomorrow, installing all the Neolite sets I'm about to download and seeing if they work on my system...

Why do people make such good oxps!?

Seriously though, excellent news!

Excellent news! :D
Hopefully we won't dent your wallet too much with all our downloads... :)

It's heartening to find the neolite oxps are still so popular. I anticipate being overshadowed by Griffs efforts and my own interest has shifted towards supporting them.
They are just different and some people might prefer the Neolite ships. Without shaders, Griffs ships just look bad, while your Neolite ships still look good without shaders. And we still have enough users without shaders on their computers.
And even with shaders, Griff ships are always dark. Not everyone likes that.

The image shows up.

Is tar.gz possible to open on Windows? I seem to recall it is Linux file format...

I think the current version of WinZip can handle it. There will certainly be Windows applications that can, it's a well established format (or pair of them to be exact).

7zip can open the tarballs.
