Oolite Bulletins

Ok, I come back after a loong time (because I dreamed of Oolite last night)... and what do I find? Most old links broken, version 1.77.1 is out, CaptSolo and KillerWolf have gone MIA and taken their OXPs with them and I can't find where to grab nightlies now... Heelp! I'm lost!

Nightly builds,....

Hi Zireael, welcome back. Some things are still the same.

Welcome back!

Glad to see this is still the friendliest board this side of Riedquat (TM)!

I wonder how many users from a time past do this? It's been at least a year since I last posted. (Not that I ever posted much )

Hello,

I've returned after a LONG stint on Minecraft, I come back to find that my ship now has gas exhaust flames issuing from the engines. Is there any forum threads that list what changes were made in 1.77 and which OXP's work and what need to be updated? Also, any recommended new OXP's that people like (over the last twelve months)? I see, for example, there's a new salvage OXP.

The release announcements for 1.77 and 1.77.1 would be good places to start.

The main list of OXPs on the Wiki is now sortable, and includes compatibility ratings and notes for most OXPs. Some newer OXPs may not yet be listed, however.

"Some" work occured in this year, my favourites (last 15 months for sure, in alphabetical order):

My OXPs also new (and I like all of them of course ), maybe the download statistics help a bit to choose:

[wiki]Detectors[/wiki] 153
[wiki]Telescope[/wiki] 149
[wiki]Towbar[/wiki] 144
[wiki]Gallery[/wiki] 81 (in 3 weeks, others measured 3 months ago)
[wiki]HardShips[/wiki] 70
[wiki]ShipVersion[/wiki] 62
 SellAll 34

Incidentally I am surprised by the popularity of Detectors due to it is a simple peeper addon, compared to all others which are contains many ideas and was much harder to make.

Thanks for the heads' up! I'm now checking to see what other delicious looking OXP are for the tasting.
