Re: OXZ Addition Requests

Unfortunately, the Falcon&Kestrel OXP is from the days when not all OXPs were licensed.. and Charlie (who hasn't been seen since early 2008) never licensed his work. Later, Kaks (also MIA since Nov last year) and Eric Walch did some maintenance work for it back in the 1.70-1.73 days (again, before the licensing issue reared its ugly head) but that has been it, except for posting Tweaking patches.ozhank wrote:Is there a body doing the update from oxf to oxz for the Falcon and Kestral - the Falcon is my favourite ship, even though from another universe
Posting details on how to patch it, for people to make changes themselves to their own copies, is one thing.. but repackaging and distributing an unlicensed OXP is quite another.. can't be done, unfortunately.
The best hope is if one of the "old hands" around here has a working email addy for Charlie, and can get in touch with him to clarify the license situation, as recently happened with Dr. Nil. Otherwise, one day it may well fade into oblivion, as with some other early OXPs.
In the meantime, the OXP continues to work well with 1.80, so just put it in AddOns as usual.
