I've just re-branded this as Cup of Tea OXP. No changes, just a new name. :)
It rhymes!
Ha, it does, doesn't it? :)
Now added to Smivsonline, my wiki page and the wiki OXP table.

Version 1.1 is now available.
This new version has some added features.
The Readme wrote:
You can buy a Tea maker anywhere for just 100Cr. The Tea Maker is supplied with 25 'T-pods'. A 'T-pod' is a disposable mug containing all the ingredients for your cup of tea. The Tea Maker then boils water, adds it to your tea and brews it.
Your Tea maker is primable equipment - 'Shift-n' to prime, and 'n' to activate. Console messages will tell you how your tea is progressing, and a gong will alert you when it is ready.
You will also be told when you are using your last 'T-pod', and the Tea Maker will not work once these are all gone. Upon docking you can buy another 25 'T-pods' from the ship Outfitters. Choose between Tea, Tea with Milk, Tea with Sugar and Tea with Milk and Sugar. 25 'T-pods' will cost 10Cr.
I have also added a couple of extra sound effects to the OXP so you can now hear the water boiling and your tea brewing.

Download here.

Existing users should simply remove the old version and install the new version.

Heavy tea drinkers might appreciate being warned before they use their last pod.. :wink:

Perhaps warnings on the last 3 cuppas?
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

I'd like to point out that, if my Infinite Improbability Drive (that's a working name - for, for one thing, it's not a drive) OXP sees the light of day, then having a cup of tea (tea pod) left could make all the difference (and not just to one's mood!). For it could make the difference between the drive ('drive') being able to engage - thus turning all nearby ships into cupcakes, or at least, for instance, asteroids - or not engage. Still, the drive will (randomly) do many things other than change ships into other ships (and, indeed, it can turn nearby ships into thargoids, which one wouldn't want).

As what I've said perhaps suggests: I like the addition of the pods. (Also, Smivs, I hope you don't mind me attaching my crazy idea to your OXP . .)

Now that's not a bad idea...something for v1.2 :)

Not at all. The Cup of Tea OXP was crazy enough, so having it consort with other crazy ideas sound fitting! :wink:

When I saw new posts on this thread I though it would be, er, "comments" about the new sound effects 8) :D

Hi Smivs.

Just had 2 cups of nice tea while cruising in-system to Laenin (G1).
Is is possible to have the tea maker also available when docked through the interfaces. Maybe an onboad Magnetron expansion?
I like Oolite and the fun things that come with it.

You want tea when docked? What's wrong with the bar? :wink:

Sorry Wildeblood, I don't understand what you are asking/saying here.
The download is for the new version (v1.1). Users of v1.0 should remove that from AddOns and download and install v1.1.
As well as being autonomous, v1.1 has been designed to update current users' save files etc for a seemless transition.

Eh, what!
I did, but it doesn't seem to be working does it? I've got no idea what's happening here - give me a few minutes.....

A few minutes later....
OK, major brainfart on my part :roll: :oops: I had uploaded it but as well as leaving the original download in place I'd overlooked updating the download page as well. All sorted out now.
Just to confirm, then, the current version is v1.1, and is now available from the download links above.
Sorry folks :)

We had relatives from England visiting us one day years ago. Wonderful people. My family loves herb tea, back then the big thing was Good Earth tea (lots of cinnamon/orange to it, very "spicy," really good). When we invited our English relatives to have a sniff of our favorite herb tea the reaction was classic: "Ohh! How HORRID!" :P

Hey Smivs

I've installed 1.1 of the TeaMaker, and I get a message saying I've had the old version removed, and then I buy a new one - the new version - and the same thing happens, i.e. happens again. Also, a search of my save file seems to contain no mention of any tea-making equipment. Problem?

Cheers.
