Revision as of 22:50, 18 January 2021
Here are some links to some OXPs which are not in the in-game Expansions Manager. Not all work!
List of .oxp's
- The Traders Almanach - see bottom of that page: another book for the Ship's Library OXP.
- Antient Aliens Archaeological ruins by Stormrider (an old mission, so probably broken).
- Renegade Pirates OXP by LittleBear in 2006 and featuring Twin Plasma Cannons! - so probably utterly obsolescent
- Updating TSC - an alternative to Talkative Space Compass.
- Deeper Space HUD - (2017) by Pleiadian as seen here. GitHub site download.
- Povray Planets a set of mapped systems for each galaxy. Currently being updated for v.1.90 (see end of this BB thread).
- P.A. Groove Stations OXP - original orbital variants now included in Stations for Extra Planets
- Station Spotter OXP - an add-on to Stations for Extra Planets (and mentioned there) which tallies other stations visited in-system.
- Safe Docking - laws for docking and fines for transgressions by Phantorgorth
- GalCop Rewards - Phantorgorth's lottery reward system to cut down on minor misdemeanours
- New Deal - Vincentz's attempt to rework the economics. Very nice icons! Unfinished.
- Real-life economics OXP - most recent OXP version on page 4 of thread.
- Victim 11 is a mission written by Fatleaf: You need to finish The Assassins Guild OXP first (Galaxy 7). Both are probably broken.
- Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy alpha OXZ from a two year project to create an alternative to the Galactic Navy.
- CompressedJSON.zip is a utility designed for OXP developers. Many OXP's use JSON to package up data into the save game file, and then extract it again when loading the game. JSON is a rather bulky format, though, and it doesn't take long for your data to start making your save game file quite large. Compressed JSON simply reduces the amount of space the JSON data takes up, thereby reducing your save game file. See the readme file inside the ZIP for details on how to use it.
- Hermitage.zip gives you the opportunity to own your own Rock Hermit.
- Maintenance TuneUp.oxz provides the ability to do a maintenance tune up, even when the normal overhaul is not available.
- Population Control.oxz is intended to limit the size of pirate groups in safer systems. The number of police patrols is also increased slightly.
- Risky Business.oxz aims to make Multi-Gov, Feudal and Anarchy systems more rewarding for traders, by tweaking prices on a few goods. Goods that are already over the average could be increased. Goods that are below the average could be reduced. Not all goods will be impacted at all locations.
- Space Lane Adherance Bonus.oxz was intended as a way of dealing with the go off-lane to avoid pirates recommendation, which is normally given to new pilots who are struggling with combat in the early part of the game. This OXP encourages players to stay on the witchpoint-to-planet spacelane by giving a small monetary bonus to players who stay on or close to it as much as possible.
- PlanetForests.oxp & PlanetOceans.oxp for the Vanilla game: restores the image of the planet to match its description on the F7 page.
- Zieman's suite of OXP's:
- Baakili Far Trader
- Far Arm ships - 10 additional ships for the Ooniverse, with 4 extra missile variants
- Tin of SPAM - Ooniversal Infestations (rescued by Reval).
- Z-ships - 4 additional ships for the Ooniverse
- Zieman's Habitat Orbital Station .oxp - and BB Discussion. Now included in Stations for Extra Planets
- Deep Horizon Industries - Commander Cheyd
- Deep Horizon - Systems v2.0.8 (Beta) Add additional planets and moons to your Ooniverse. Replaces the procedurally drawn planet textures with amazingly detailed custom textures. Also changes the appearance of the central star within each system.
- Low Resolution Texture Pack - 3/2/2011 (11.6 MB)
- Standard Resolution Texture Pack - 3/2/2011 (22 MB)
- Lights Down: Lower the ambient light within the game for a more spacious feel. Also increases the ambient star count, and the intensity of nebulae within the game.
- Pirate Ambushes: Introduces a new tactic for pirates in lower-government systems- Hijacking the Witchspace bouy and moving it to a more 'advantageous' position.
- Gas Giant Skimming: (Requirement: Ore Processor OXP by Eric Walch) Allows players to skim fuel, and possibly other commodities, from gas giant-type planets.
- Deep Horizon - Systems v2.0.8 (Beta) Add additional planets and moons to your Ooniverse. Replaces the procedurally drawn planet textures with amazingly detailed custom textures. Also changes the appearance of the central star within each system.
- DH's 3 other OXPs are already on the Expansions Manager
GalCop Health Warning
The major rejigs of Oolite under Cim in 2014 (v.1.80) & 2015 (v.1.82) have broken many older .oxp's
