So, I'm newbe.
Then like other Opx developer I'm beginning to understando how run Oolite library.
I've some problem. I made 5 Opx model (2 Transport 1 hunter 1 scout and 1 escort) but both ship if called like NPC don't work. I can see exausts but not the texture. After exaust showing Oolite crash. What's up?
I've check shipdata.plist in addons and it's all ok.
Did I made any "easy mistakes"?
There is a complete tutorial to modify all *.plist and AIfile??

There's a wealth of information in the wiki, I'd start here and then onward in the links to whichever area you're interested in. It's not really a tutorial per-se, that's more done by sharing problems and ideas on this board 
Also of course look at existing OXPs and threads here (in the Expansion Pack forum mainly) and you'll get some good information and assistance.
For your problem, the first place to look for information is stderr.txt (you'll find it in the oolite.app folder in your Oolite install). That's where the game logs things as it goes along, and near the bottom you may get information as to what's going wrong. Crashing Oolite (in my experience) normally leads on from things like unmatched {}'s causing commands to get merged together and Oolite getting itself confused.
If all else fails, post the code here (between code tags, the 5th tag available when posting, just above the type-in window) and people can look over it and give inputs.
Oh, and welcome to the madhouse

Thank you very much.... I did some compiling error and stderr.txt report it.
Thank you!
