About

Griff has been working on producing some fantastic models of ships, which use normalmapping and shaders to produce some of the best looking ships available in Oolite. All core ships and stations are now supported, with the release on the 3rd of November 2012 of the Ico station. Announcements are made on the forum, so keep an eye on this thread.

Griff's Ship Sets

There are four sets of Griff ships!

The Vanilla game ships in Oolite v.1.92 and later

2026

These are taken from the Oolite v1.88 Base Shipset Normal and Specular/Gloss Maps OXP

They are simplified versions of the OXPs on the Expansions Manager but with normal, specular & gloss texture maps added - and using the new Oolite shaders system.

The Vanilla game ships in Oolite v.1.90 and earlier

2013

These are simplified versions of Griff's OXPs on the Expansions Manager

The OXPs on the Expansions Manager (excluding his specials such as Griff Clippers, Griff Prototype Boa, Griff's Glowroids etc.)

2013

These do not have specular maps, but the ship models are more complex, and the textures and the shaders are much more complex. But they use the older Oolite shaders system.

They also have special effects: more realistic exhausts, running lights and emergency lights (which dim when power is low), the Thargoids have special reflecting hulls, etc.

The unfinished SpecGloss series (only the SpecGloss Sidewinder is on the Expansions Manager - the other ships are on Box.com - see below).

In Progress (2022 - date)

These resemble Griff's OXPs but with much more detailed textures added - and adding in SpecGloss and Glowmaps. They also use the newer Oolite shaders system. See here for downloads.

Griff's "Expansions Manager" Downloads

All these ships are available in the Oolite Expansion Pack Manager.

Category: Retextures
Griff Adder, Griff Alloys and Wreckage, Griff Anaconda, Griff Asp, Griff Asteroids, Griff Boa, Griff Boa MkII, Griff Cargopod, Griff Cobra MkI, Griff Cobra MkIII, Griff Cobra MkIII Alt, Griff Constrictor, Griff Escape Capsule, Griff Ferdelance, Griff Gecko, Griff Krait, Griff Mamba, Griff Mamba Alternative, Griff Missiles, Griff Moray, Griff Python, Griff Shuttle, Griff Sidewinder, Griff Station Bundle, Griff Thargoids, Griff Transporter, Griff Viper, Griff Worm

These constitute the third set mentioned above.

Griff's Normalmapped Ships (Replace):

This is a meta-OXP, downloading all the individual OXPs listed above

Note: Spara's rebalanced bundle 'Meta-OXZ'. Available via the Oolite Expansion Pack manager, provides a single click install for all the Griff core shipset ships, bugfixed and rebalanced for better gameplay! This expansion pack is highly recommended over installing the shipset ships individually

Griff Shipset Decals - this OXP is for adding Decals to Griff's ships (and is needed by his OXPs). See Decal for more on this

Griff Clippers - Griffifies the Boa Clipper and Python Clipper from Smivs' earlier Clippers OXP
Griff Prototype Boa - the famous, utterly different "Griff Boa" - as below, under "Other OXPs"
Griff's Glowroids - massive asteroids with a difference!

Griff Ship Downloads on Box.com

Resources - Not needed for gameplay - this folder contains various ship meshes and textures in .obj and .png format for interested modders

Griff's Other OXPs

Dodo Stations OXP by Griff and CaptKev (1.4Mb).
Retextured Dodecahedron stations OXP, v1.1. Updated version released 18th May 2010, Griff has fixed a problem with the shaders.

Flying Dutchman OXP (31.0Kb).
Featuring Griff's Wireframe Cobra.
Adds the small chance to meet a Ghost Ship in the Ooniverse. What is it? Some claim that it's the ghost of Commander Peter Jameson, reported lost at the end of the last Thargoid War, others that it is simply a manifestation of all those lost souls who were trapped in the trackless depths of interstellar space. One common story is the trail of bad luck and hideous deaths that follow in the wake of the ship's sightings...

Griff's ArcElite (201.2 Kb).
Adds all the ships from the Acorn Archimedes version of Elite, textured & shaded to resemble how they originally appeared in that version of the game. Version 2.0 adds extra ships from Elite 'A', Elite 2 and the Amiga version of Elite

Griff's Boa OXP (2.7Mb).
Wiki link containing the famous Griff Boa, as featured in the "Oolite - It's not just for triangles anymore" images. Note: the Boa is not included in the Normalmapped Ships OXP as above. Note also that this OXP only works on Oolite 1.74 and higher.

Griff's Alloys & Wreckage OXP (1.5mb).
Box.com link to an OXP for Oolite v1.75 and higher that adds a new models & texture for the 'Alloys'. The OXP also generates extra clouds of burning wreckage whenever ships explode. This OXP was updated on 24th March 2013 for more compatibility with the Griff Normalmapped Ships, Replacement version, and should be used in preference to the old Griff's Explosion Debris OXP.

Griff's Krait OXP (2.5Mb).
A heavily modified Krait, similar in design to the Griff Boa. Note: this Krait is not included in the Normalmapped Ships OXP as above.

Related OXPs by Other Authors

Illicit Unlock - Griff Version by ADCK (3.5Kb).
Based on the original Illicit Unlock, Allows the player to fly Griffs pirate/viper Ships. (Requires Griff's Normalmapped Ships )

Bugfixed and updated files for the oxp by Dertien (requires overwriting files in ADCK's original oxp) - Download

Random Hits OXP.
Featuring many Ships/Stations made by Griff.

Your Ad Here! OXP.
Featuring Griff's Tradestations.

Staer9's Shipset.
Adds more ships based on Griffs models.

ZGrOovy Griff System Stations OXP by Dertien (on the Oolite BB).
Using Griff's station textures, adds five new model stations, from the small Tetrahedron and Octahedrons, through the standard sized Coriolis, to the large Dodecahedron and Icosahedron stations.

Bank of the Black Monks by LittleBear. Version 2.0 maintained by spara See here for details.

Lore

Added by The Assassins Guild OXP

The Ateslete system in galaxy 7 is reasonably noted for the ice-world, Stymphal. The well known robotics company, Griff Research Ltd, operates factories over most of the planet and maintains an orbital research station near Stymphal.

The company was originally founded to produce droids and other artificial life forms, enjoying much success winning the coveted “Which Droid?” award for a decade. Perhaps their most famous design was the Robotic Cargo Loader which is still in service in all sectors. In recent years the company has diversified into building high specification ships and stations to order. Examples of their known designs include providing the Bank of the Black Monks of St Herod with a fearsome armed orbital platform and the Holy Avenger Mark II Tri-Laser Gunship.

The company's main ship design work is however highly classified, their most regular client being the Galactic Navy. Griff Research Ltd has constructed several Frigate Class vessels for the Navy, in addition to new types of weapons. No further details are available, although it is rumored that the Company is returning to its roots as a robotics company, in a current design brief.

-=== Griff's Normalmapped Ships OXPs ===
+There are ''four'' sets of Griff ships!
-Following the new guidelines on [[OXP Distribution]], the all-in-1-bundle oxp has been split into a ''Resources'' oxp containing all the ship models, textures and shader files, and two ''Config'' oxps, one which replaces the core shipset with these ships and one which adds this ships alongside the default shipset (and any other ship packs you may have installed), download links are:
+*The Vanilla game ships in Oolite v.1.92 and later
+:2026
-* [http://deephorizonindustries.com/griffind/Griff_Shipset_Resources_v1.2.25.zip ''Resources 1.2.25'']

-* [http://deephorizonindustries.com/griffind/Griff_Shipset_Replace_v1.34.zip ''Core shipset Replacement 1.34'']. (V1.1 now includes [[User:Commander McLane|Commander McLane]]'s bugfix).
+:They are simplified versions of the OXPs on the Expansions Manager but with normal, specular & gloss texture maps added - and using the new Oolite shaders system.
-* [http://deephorizonindustries.com/griffind/Griff_Shipset_Addition_v1.22.zip ''Core shipset Addition 1.22'']

-[http://deephorizonindustries.com/griffind/griff_station_bundle_fullsize_tex_v1.1.zip ''Stations Bundle v1.1''] - Single download bundle of the Coriolis, Dodo, Ico and Rock Hermit stations
+:These are simplified versions of Griff's OXPs on the Expansions Manager
+*The OXPs on the Expansions Manager (excluding his specials such as Griff Clippers, Griff Prototype Boa, Griff's Glowroids ''etc''.)
+:2013
+:These do not have specular maps, but the ship models are more complex, and the textures and the shaders are ''much'' more complex. But they use the older Oolite shaders system.
+:They also have special effects: more realistic exhausts, running lights and emergency lights (which dim when power is low), the Thargoids have special reflecting hulls, ''etc''.
+*The unfinished SpecGloss series (only the SpecGloss Sidewinder is on the Expansions Manager - the other ships are on Box.com - see below).
+:In Progress (2022 - date)

-so to recap, you need to install the ''Resources'' oxp and one of either ''Core shipset Replacement'' or ''Core shipset Addition'' (depending on how you want these ships to appear in your game) and if you also want the new stations grab the bundle oxp from the link above.
+== Griff's "Expansions Manager" Downloads ==
+All these ships are available in the Oolite [[Expansions Manager|Expansion Pack Manager]].
