[[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.

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.

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.

These OXPs will step over the functions of the original Elite but within a limited range, aimed to get more fun and possibilities but without large changes in the game balance.
 
 
 
You can skip anything what you do not want usually by simply ignoring it or by renaming the end of the specific folder name from .oxp to .oxp- .

=== Shipset.oxp ===
 
Addition (non-replacement) shipsets which make more variants from the original ships with different lookouts but without aiming to change ship parameters.
 
 
 
Contain the No Shaders ShipSet from Griff, shaded versions pulled out to the [http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php?title=User:Norby#Griff.oxp Griff.oxp] package.
 
 
 
DeepspaceShip OXP contain a new font, but currently in neutralized state. To turn it on remove the "-" from the end of the filename DeepspaceShip.oxp/Config/oolite-font.plist- .
 
 
 
DeepspaceShip, Neolite and Shady Sungs buoys and stations are removed from the default rules in shipdata.plists due to addition shipsets should not replace default buoys and stations.

=== Ship.oxp ===
 
Various ships except those that are in the previous OXP packages.
 
 
 
Can be far from the original sets in power and lookout also, you should check and remove what you do not like.

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.

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