First of all the name of the oxp is not constores.oxp but youradhere ver 4 :wink: oxp and is going to be hosted in Dr Nil's site i hope pretty soon.
In the meantime you can download the beta
Edit: -Link removed by Ark-(basic set + setA, setB, setC & setD)
and
Edit: -Link removed by Ark-(set_E addone)
As far as I know there is no feedback about bugs. In the final version there would be some additional artwork (a deferent roff billboard for set_E constore ect) + set_F + a condition in the script for protecting the native nova mission so the beta is fully operational

Just to be on the save side:

The WiP oxps contained in "My_Yaw.zip" and "My_Yaw_set_E.zip" will replace the oxps named "YOUR_AD_HERE.oxp" and the "YOUR_AD_HERE_set_A.oxp, YOUR_AD_HERE_set_B.oxp, YOUR_AD_HERE_set_C.oxp, YOUR_AD_HERE_set_D.oxp" and the latter the "YOUR_AD_HERE_set_E.oxp" respectively, but do not yet replace the "F" set?

Is the above correct?

Having a look at it this evening,

L
ALL the old oxp folders must be replaced by the new ones (including set_E). The old sets are fully compatible with the new ones so if you want set_F you may keep it but in this case there is a 16.6% possibility of an old constore to spawn near the witchpoint instead of a new one

Sorry for my post, had a look into the zip file and the question answered itself.

You had already answered when I deleted my stoopid post.

Thanks anyways.

This is the final beta version of youradhere version 4.

Edit: -Link removed by Ark-

The task is over (well at least if there will be no bug reports :) )
This pack contains all the 6 sets!! Please remove all the previous version of youradhere oxp (wip or official one) before installing it.
This link will be functional for only 15 days since its only purpose is for testing. After 1 or 2 weeks and assuming there will be no bug reports I will contact Dr Nil in order to host it in his site and make an official announcement.

Its sooo beautiful. I find it a bit pity that it's 'only a Constore'. It feels more like a space city. Special missions have to be written for it. Something with LittleBear-Randomness so that you keep coming back to this excellent stations . :D

Just watching all the ads move is a real joy for the Eye. Fantastic Guys!

In the new version of zz-oohaul that I am preparing there will be the possibility from the player to accept escort missions for the oohaul trade ships. Also there will be a constore addon for the panetfall oxp

They look fantastic, first bug to report though, have encountered a Tescoo and Soonsbury's so far, the T' was fine but the Soonsbury's kicked me out the game when I docked with it, straight crash to desktop.
I also have Simon B's betas onboard incase its some kind of clash, I'll try leaving them in and taking them out when I next see a Soonsbury's.
I'm running XP.

I am unable to reproduce this although I have docked (auto and manual) in all the constores several times. I am testing them with almost 100 oxp installed and still nothing.

:lol: I wasn't going to say anything - but quite happy to take some of the credit now you've mentioned it.

To clarify re: Sidewinders - Tescoo and Sainsboory's by DaddyHoggy, Pi-42, MallWart, Star by Pangloss.

Additional 2 Frame and 4 Frame advertisements provided by Pangloss, Griff and DaddyHoggy.

Much Praise to Ark, for herding cats (i.e. us "artistic" types!).

Much thanks to many others for making suggestions and posting artwork that kept us inspired...

It's been a blast working on this OXP.

I hope the Doc likes what his initial creation has morphed in to! :wink:

The happy frog ad that exit in the mall-wart constore was made by Disembodied, also this ad inspired Griff to create the roof billboard for the same station. Also there may be a possibility a deferent variation of this ad to appear in another oxp but i can not tell you more :wink:
