Oolite Flavours

[hiran]

Guys, I simply need something to start with.
Then I can create something that you can see and try and still discuss about.

In essence I believe we will never be fully done with the flavour list but it is ok.

Cholmondely gave me something I can work with, thank you so much!

[arquebus]

I'll work on something today!

Seems we need to have a close eye on planetfall in combination with feudal states.

Once ready, it needs to go somewhere here:
https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... index.html

In the meantime we could look at the descriptions of the existing flavours. Who has ideas?

Here's a preliminary stab:

Depth: adds depth to your Ooniverse - various of the political states (communist, feudal etc) gain individual flavours with specific ships and stations. Some individual systems (Lave, Tionisla etc.) likewise. Trade becomes more complex, as does buying combat equipment for your ship. You might prefer to wait and master the basic game before adding in these complexities.

Enough of a new dimension to make it a flavour?

They are already part of the "Depth" flavour which includes the systems OXPs (Commies, Dictatorships, Anarchies and Feudal States). DGill's version will replace the current FS v.2, just as phkb's Planet Fall v.2 will replace the current v.1. And PlanetFall is already required by Feudal States.

Fuedal States already outshines the other Systems OXPs (not only ships and stations but "feudal things to do" too)! There is a bit more polishing to do before the current version is published. Just as with PlanetFall v.2

As a result, the addition of extra landing sites should perhaps be better done in Feudal States v.3 rather than in PF v.2. Then v.2 can be used seamlessly (ha!) with both FS v.2 and FS v.3

I like both ideas: To put them into the Depth flavour, and to keep PlanetFall as an enabler for other 'story-bound' OXPs.
Let's take that discussion on in viewtopic.php?t=21456

Ahem! They are already in your "Depth flavour". It currently links to the old versions, but will automatically link to the new ones whenever they are published.

Are they? As much as I can see 'Depth' currently looks pretty much Vanilla to me...

I like it!
It is edited in, and soon to be displayed in your very personal OoliteStarter flavours panel.

Now we can think of what expansions to add to the currently empty list: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... .oolite-es

This can be as easy as using OoliteStarter to install the correct set of expansions, then using the 'Expansion Set' tab to export what you configured. The resulting file is what we need to push to Github.

2) Stranger's World Set.

This one is easy - every single jolly one of his OXPs!

But not "Energy Rebalance SCC", "SW HUD DAI" or his "Leesti is Moon" texture experiments.

Unsure about his FPO (Famous Planets Overhaul) which is not on the Expansions Manager (And there are conflicts with Phkb's most recent work on city lights textures - Tianve, Riredi, Lave, Digebiti).

And there are a couple of others to add in.

1) Useful MFDs (gives Solar Wind Flux automatically without needing to set the ASC to the sun)
2) Fuel Tank (the pylon mounted original which he wrote his own "Internal Fuel Tank" to complement)
3) Phkb has come up with a fix for the Commies SLAPU/CZGF stations: CommiesOrbitUpdate.oxz. Several other stations will eventually need this too (Hathor, Taxi Galactica, The Collector). This is not on the Expansions Manager.

Description: This suite was crafted by Stranger, who like many his fellow "Roolite" Russian players prefers much more realism. All movement uses fuel. Distances are more realistic, planets and moons move in orbits, trade is tweaked, etc.

You won't have found SothisTC. But were there any others?

And, sorry, "Liners Markets" should be added in (for Liners)

SothisTC is here: File:Oolite.oxp.Spara.SothisTC.oxz

There is one problem with it. It should be labelled Oolite.oxp.KillerWolf.Spara.SothisTC.oxz to give KW appropriate credit. I can't quite work out how to go about it at the moment (blue funk...)

When I tried uploading an appropriately titled oxz to the wiki it wanted to overwrite the regular (nonTC) Sothis already there.
