Trinkets To-do

A few comments

Wildeblood has produced some very innovative OXPs: have a good look at the now-broken AI Trading Assistant, and his Alternative Ooniverses OXP, Docked HUDs, Galactic Hyperdrive, MilHUD 4000, WEBS System‎ & Wide-Screen HUD. His work on HUDs seems to have been very influential - many of his ideas were taken up by others, later, and most of the "modern HUDs" include several of his ideas. Cholmondeley 2021

My "How-to" OXPs

A collection of micro-OXPs, each demonstrating a particular Oolite javaScript technique, which might be helpful to others seeking an example to copy.

  • How to use the planetary "concealment" property, introduced in Oolite 1.84:
Tachyona is the fastest orbiting world in the co-operative. It orbits so quickly, you can see it move on the long-range chart.
  • How to start (And, stop and clean up!) a timer, and how to randomize timer intervals:
File:Noisy Passengers 0.1.oxz
  • How to start (And, stop and clean up!) a frame callback while in flight:
Bullet Drive makes the Torus Drive work somewhat more like classic Elite - no manoeuvring during flight
  • How to set a station interface on the F4 screen:
Station Self-Destruction Codes self-declared winner of the competition for unbalanced oxp-uber-mega-weapons
  • How to change the crosshairs, without changing the whole HUD file:
Crosshairs - Alerting shape of crosshairs depends on alert level (green/yellow/red)
  • How to create the data source for a customized HUD dial:
Data - Ship Name displays the name of your ship on your in-flight HUD (needs compatible HUD)
  • How to use the player buying equipment to cause an immediate reaction (in this case, changing the HUD) unrelated to the equipment:
Docked HUDs
  • How to completely remove a worldScript which has outstayed its welcome:
Untrumbled does not cure existing infestations but prevents future ones
  • The proper way to add a new visit recording option to Explorers' Club:
Serial Killer OXP the club will not record your visit to a system until you kill something

My OXPs

In alphabetical order:

In this vein

Works in Progress (in 2015)

List of OXPs clobbered with System 1.80's changes

See here for list, links, and a little explanation of WEBS, Alternative Ooniverse etc.

Wildeblood

  • Exhibits a morbid fascination in the Australian flag
  • Wildeblood removed all his OXPs from circulation as he updated them for Oolite v.1.77 (c. 2012). A few were updated and re-released, but not all.
  • Wildeblood did not provide licenses for many of his oxp's.

Note that the handful of mirror sites are listed under the individual wiki pages for the relevant oxp's.
