Colonial Viper Mark I (Shipbuilder)

Post by Gaxleep »

Hello Commanders,

I’m looking for a working copy of the Colonial Viper Mark I OXP originally created by Shipbuilder.
The link to the last known version (V1.03 on Box.com) is no longer available, and I haven’t been able to find mirrors or archived copies of earlier versions (1.00–1.02).

If anyone still has a local copy of any working version of the Viper Mark I (preferably 1.02, but anything functional is fine), I would be extremely grateful if you could share it or point me to a valid download source.

I’m specifically looking for the TOS version, not the Montana05 restore (which requires the Resource Pack).
Thanks in advance for any help — this ship is an important piece of Oolite history and I’d love to preserve it.

Fly safe, Commanders.

I just tried the v1.03 link (https://app.box.com/s/5d22a790455946bcafb9) and it works for me. Does it not work for you?

[Some stuff]
First post more than 10 years after joining the forum. You're the second recent case of this strange phenomenon.

Confirmed.

Thank you both for the quick replies!

The Box.com link works for me now — not sure what happened earlier, but I really appreciate you checking it and confirming it. Thanks again for helping me track down this version of the Colonial Viper Mark I.

Since I’m currently using Oolite Starter to manage and review expansions, I’ve noticed that not all OXPs are available through it.
Would you happen to have recommendations or links for the main places where older or manually‑installed OXPs can still be found?
For example, I saw the list of OXPs on phkb’s wiki page, which is extremely helpful.

Thanks again for the assistance — it’s great to be back on the forum after such a long time!

OoliteStarter can manage all OXPs that have been listed in the Oolite Expansion Catalog at
https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... on-catalog
The readme explains how to get an OXP listed there.

If it is not listed, you will have to get active yourself, as you do for the Colonial Viper Mark I.
Many OXPs are not in the catalog but somehow mentioned on the wiki at

Other than what hiran mentioned, there is [EliteWiki] OXP List which lists the majority of OXP's not on the Expansion Manager.

There is also [EliteWiki] Guide to Unlisted OXPs.

Hopefully those links will have everything you're looking for.

Actually, there is a Colonial Vipper Mark I Restore on the expansion manager: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php? ... er#p272886
