Energy bomb disappeared again

Post by Morgan »

The controversial Energy Bomb has been disappeared again... that is, for at least a couple of days it's been missing from
the link (http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~cim/oolite/En ... _1.0.2.zip) from its page, and the download from the manager
failed. Is it available anywhere else?

Welcome aboard, Commander! Probably cim's files playing-up again. However, the managed version worked here just now - try it again?

Welcome Morgan!

All managed packages are listed in the http://www.oolite.org/oxps/ page, with a download link on the small package icon in the last column. If you click on this icon then you can download the package exactly from the same location where the game search it. At me this way is working now. If you can not download it within the game then you still can put the package into your AddOns folder manually.

This OXP (and cim's other stuff) is hosted on compsoc.dur.ac.uk - it's the same place, whether you use the managed download or go through the web page and install it by hand, and it's definitely down - it doesn't even respond to ping.
For anyone else looking for this (or Ship's Library, or whatever) - I have located the OXP at https://cim.sotl.org.uk/games/
(This is the page linked to by cim's "Skilled NPCs" OXP. So it might make sense to update all the other links... but only if this is actually permanent, which it may well not be.)

The managed version is working fine, as is the identical version from Norby's advice above.

Thanks Morgan, I fixed the download link in the wiki page.

Sorry about that - I moved all of my OXPs to a new server a few months ago and thought I'd got all the links.
