[[Image:telescope6.png|thumb|600px|right|'''Telescope''' is possibly Norby's most powerful oxp, showing distant objects and masslock borders.<br>

For example, a distant ship is shown by the yellow dot on the upper left of the viewscreen, which corresponds to the yellow flag on the border of the scanner at 11 o'clock. Its masslock border starts on the top right at the s in "development ver''s''ion" and runs down and left around the viewscreen]]

Norby has made vital contributions to Oolite over the years. He made a concerted push to improve Oolite HUDs which fed through to the Vanilla game, as well as producing some massively important OXPs ([[Telescope]], [[ILS]], - and helping others with theirs (the fact that [[Life in the Frontier]] actually functions is a testament to the time and effort he spend polishing Beetle Bethlehem's magnum opus). He also devoted time and energy in experimenting with the game mechanics - see [[HardShips]], [[ShipVersion]] & [[FarPlanets]]. He also experimented with massive ships - see his improvements to [[Star Destroyer]]. And his [[LogEvents]] is a crucial oxp for anybody trying to improve Oolite.

== Norby's Introduction ==
 
First played Elite on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Plus/4 Commodore +4] in 1987. This was the best game in my eyes at that time.

These will not change the game mechanics but polish the game.

I like more than 300 OXPs in total so before the OXZ era I made an [[OXP_Collection|OXP Collection]] but now you can use [[User:Norby#Recommended_OXPs|my recommendation packs]]. There are many small but good OXP which you probably missed if you do not spend hours reading through both the [[OXP_List|OXP List]] and the [http://www.oolite.org/oxps/ OXZ list]. I have therefore made OXP collections for different player levels.

Contain libraries also and the following OXP packages assuming the Basic package is installed, else you must fix dependencies manually.

These give much more power to the NPCs and some to the player also, use after you gathered some combat experience.

If you use a replacement shipset from Griff or Smivs then you must make a change in [[ToughGuys]] OXP which is described in the TG4-readme.txt in ToughGuys folder.

Enjoy!

If you rename shipdata.plistforcustomshipsets to shipdata.plist in the Config folder of [[HardShips]] OXP then you get the hard versions of replacement ships.

Latest revision as of 05:05, 29 February 2024

Telescope is possibly Norby's most powerful oxp, showing distant objects and masslock borders.
For example, a distant ship is shown by the yellow dot on the upper left of the viewscreen, which corresponds to the yellow flag on the border of the scanner at 11 o'clock. Its masslock border starts on the top right at the s in "development version" and runs down and left around the viewscreen
ILS (Instrument Landing System) provides an alternative for docking with a station
EscortDeck attaches a Deck to your ship for carrying escorts which you control
EscortPack provides a range of escorts for your deck
Far Planets creates massive solar systems with missions to distant planets and refuelling stations en route
Towbar creates a new career choice in rescuing derelicts and sells the necessary equipment for this
Combat MFD (top left) provides detail on your and your target's status (top right shows Telescope's MFD)
Hardships creates armour covering for ships
SniperGun provides externally mounted sniper guns - above shows 3 mounted on a Krait
Norby's update of Star Destroyer adds in a flotilla of Tie Fighters and a factory for building them!
Andromeda A massive ship, too big to dock with a station
Boring but VITAL! LogEvents records expanded detail of what happened in your latest game to help track down problems!

Norby has made vital contributions to Oolite over the years. He made a concerted push to improve Oolite HUDs which fed through to the Vanilla game, as well as producing some massively important OXPs (Telescope, ILS, - and helping others with theirs (the fact that Life in the Frontier actually functions is a testament to the time and effort he spend polishing Beetle Bethlehem's magnum opus). He also devoted time and energy in experimenting with the game mechanics - see HardShips, ShipVersion & FarPlanets. He also experimented with massive ships - see his improvements to Star Destroyer. And his LogEvents is a crucial oxp for anybody trying to improve Oolite.

Norby's Introduction

First played Elite on Commodore +4 in 1987. This was the best game in my eyes at that time.

Found Oolite in Jan 2013 and enjoy not only the game but OXP programming also as a hobby which can give me the feeling of freedom. I hope the result will entertain my sons and you also. :)

Best of my works

Based on feedbacks in the forum I think these are the most wanted packages: 

Combat MFD
Gallery
HUDSelector
ILS Instrument Landing System
ReverseControl
ShipVersion
Telescope
TheCollector
TorusToSun
Towbar
Trails

My obsolete OXPs

I do not recommend to use these in regular games.

  • Detectors - show your energy on the HUD and more target informations. (174 downloads)
  • HardBase - one of the biggest playable entities with a huge cargo capacity and almost no agility. (53 downloads)
  • HudRequests - tech demo and requests to make dynamic HUDs and a mini-game to earn highscores. (98 downloads)
Download: File:HUDRequests 1.1.oxp.zip


I like more than 300 OXPs in total so before the OXZ era I made an OXP Collection but now you can use my recommendation packs. There are many small but good OXP which you probably missed if you do not spend hours reading through both the OXP List and the OXZ list. I have therefore made OXP collections for different player levels.

Recommended OXPs

My "must have" list is useful for most players imho.

My favorites for advanced players are listed in this post.

The following collections are able to install many addons in one step.
