Revision as of 23:27, 13 February 2021

Here are some links to some OXPs which are not in the in-game Expansions Manager. Not all work!

Traders Almanach entry for Lave

List of .oxp's

Well over 50, but perhaps a third are either broken or unfinished.

Activities

  • GalCop Rewards - Phantorgorth's lottery reward system to cut down on minor misdemeanours (2012)
  • Gas Giant Skimming: (Requirement: Ore Processor OXP by Eric Walch) Allows players to skim fuel, and possibly other commodities, from gas giant-type planets. See Deep Horizon collection below (2011)
  • Hermitage.zip (Phkb's collection below, 2019) gives you the opportunity to own your own Rock Hermit.
  • Pirate Player.oxp by Phkb (2018)
  • Safe Docking - laws for docking and fines for transgressions by Phantorgorth (2012)
  • Solar Harvest (downloaded 83 times) by Ocz (2016): Skimming thread. The .oxp has tweaks such as preprocessed and processed plasmas!
  • Station Spotter OXP - an add-on to Stations for Extra Planets (and mentioned there) which tallies other stations visited in-system. (2017?).

Economics & Trade

  • First Finance (downloaded 77 times) by Ocz: Beginning the game with a loan to pay off - the loan! (2014)
  • Loan Repayment (downloaded 86 times) - the lenders! by Ocz as above (2014)
  • New Deal - Vincentz's attempt to rework the economics. Very nice icons! Unfinished (2015).
  • Real-life economics OXP - most recent OXP version end of page 4 of thread (2014).
  • Risky Business.oxz (Phkb's collection below, 2020) 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.

Ambience

  • Asteroids.oxp 2008 by Charlie and then Eric Walch. See BB Thread
  • BPlanets a 2.54 Gb .oxp (2020) detailing the 119 earth-like planets in Galaxy 1 using the new v.1.90 graphics capabilities
  • 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. See Deep Horizon collection below
Low Resolution Texture Pack - 3/2/2011 (11.6 MB)
Standard Resolution Texture Pack - 3/2/2011 (22 MB)
  • Lave OXP Learner pilots practice in Trinket ships near the station under the command of an instructor, Restaurant Junks ply their trade, Ad-Droids broadcast Ads, a small moon is added and more! (Murgh - before Feb 2006)
  • 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. See Deep Horizon collection below (2011)
  • Monument adds a monument to deceased commanders at the Lave system (Dajt, 2005).
  • Passenger Coms v0.5 by BryonArn (2014) - see here: talking to your passengers!
  • PlanetForests.oxp & PlanetOceans.oxp for the Vanilla game: restores the image of the planet to match its description on the F7 page. Phkb (2019).
  • Povray Planets a set of mapped systems for each galaxy (2012). Currently being updated for v.1.90 as BPlanets (see end of this BB thread).
  • Wrex by Arexack Heretic, and then Eric Walch (2006-8): Space wreckage

Dockables

  • P.A. Groove Stations OXP - original orbital variants (2008) now included in Stations for Extra Planets
  • SothisTC - by KillerWolf (2010) with markets added by Spara (2013): only at Corporate States
  • SunKyota (downloaded 322 times) - adds 2- and 4- disk variants (Astrobe, 2017)
  • Zieman's Habitat Orbital Station See Zieman's collection below (2013). Only at higher tech levels.

Equipment

HUDs & MFDs

Mechanics

  • Pirate Ambushes: Introduces a new tactic for pirates in lower-government systems- Hijacking the Witchspace buoy and moving it to a more 'advantageous' position. See Deep Horizon collection below (2011).
  • Population Control.oxz (Phkb's collection below, 2019) is intended to limit the size of pirate groups in safer systems. The number of police patrols is also increased slightly.
  • Space Lane Adherance Bonus.oxz (Phkb's collection below, 2016) was intended as a way of dealing with the go off-lane to avoid pirates recommendation, normally given to new pilots who are struggling with combat in the early part of the game. It encourages staying on the witchpoint-to-planet spacelane by giving a small bonus to players who stay on or close to it.

Miscellaneous

Another_Commander's Bug
  • Bugs, glorious Bugs puts a bug on the F7 page each time you select an insect-dominated system with it (by Another_Commander) c.2018?

Leaving the known Ooniverse

Missions

Retextures

  • Svengali's collection: Picks - WPB OXP (2013) Old Witchpoint Buoy

Ships

Mamushi version 0.4
Osoroshii version 0.3
  • Z-ships - 4 additional ships for the Ooniverse see Zieman's collection below (2012)
  • Svengali's collection: Picks - Pallas (2012)
  • Svengali's collection: Picks - RoC Remorse Of Conscience v2 (2013)
  • Svengali's collection: Picks - RVandGS Renegade Viper and Grass Snake (2011)

Systems

Weapons

  • Missiles (downloaded 423 times) improves function of ECM (Astrobe, 2017)
  • Railgun Commander McLane (2011): 4 different varieties.

Programming

  • CompressedJSON.zip (Phkb's collection below, 2016) 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.
  • See Norby's, Svengali's & Phkb's collections below for a large assortment of tools
  • Planet rotation tester.oxp by Eric Walch (2010): BB thread.
  • Mission Offering Protocol & Manual by Eric Walch (2007): BB thread.
  • Griff's resources for those designing ships (2010-8).

Named Collections

Note on downloading from Box: if one cannot download individual oxp's from Box, try deselecting your desired oxp and clicking the "download" button in the top right corner of the page. You may be rewarded with a single bulky download of each and every file in that collection instead!

  • Phkb's experimental OXPs (see here for the links to the OXPs - and their discussions):

Population Control.oxz is intended to limit the size of pirate groups in safer systems. The number of police patrols is also increased slightly.

Oddities


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. This seems especially true for missions.
