Brief description

The Spaceway L1 is the route that Loonly planet advices traders that travel from Lave in the Old Worlds region (see map in OXP or on the WIKI) to Lerelace in the Xexedi Cluster. And the wiki page for more info.


Installation Instructions

If you have Famous planets_v1.1. you can begin at step 2

1. This is not a stand-alone package so download and install Famous planets v1.1. at: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Famous_Planets_OXP

2. After installing v1.1. delete the System Redux config directory that is in the directory of Famous planets v1.1.

3. Unzip the contents of this package in the Famous Planets_v1.1. oxp directory. For example: ( Oolite172/AddOns/Famous_Planets_v1.1.oxp). It will then add only the new content into the existing oxp installation.

4. IMPORTANT If you are on Oolite 1.65, 1.70 or on 1.71.1 Go into the Oolite/Addon/Famous_planets_v1.1.oxp/config

Open the Script.js file with a word editor. Go to line 72:

Change:


Code: if (this.fpCheck(system.ID) && player.ship.position.distanceTo(system.mainStation.position) < 12000) {



to


Code: if (this.fpCheck(system.ID) && player.position.distanceTo(system.mainStation.position) < 12000) {



Then save the file.

4(Optional) If your computer can take it you can choose to download FPXP1HD.zip[ and u extract the HD textures of XexediHD and LaeninHD in the texture directory of Famous Planets and set overwrite on Yes. These are big textures but are very sharp!

5 Start Oolite with the SHIFT-key pressed until you see the spinning Cobra Mk3

And here you go: Oolite has expanded again.
