Talk:OXP new

Updated:

Great work! Had a minor fiddle, moved the stations and missions which were still in the ships section into the missions / dockable objects sections. Also added a link to Anarchies OXP. Think Fuel Pod is a little pod you can buy instead of a missile (and tops up 3ly - not sure where it is though!)

Updated: wrex teaser. refers to Alioth.net uploaded there (oosat2) as well.

PPC25 new link. refers to Oosat2 as well.

Question: Fuelpod...does this refer to the small 1LY pod from my stables?

If so, it is already included in the wrex_teaser_v1.2 .

OXPs by category

This is the first step in attempting to document OXPs to help newer players. In particular, putting sound sets and HUDs together makes it easier for players to download and install one HUD or sound set at a time. Everything I wasn't sure of went under Ships, but I have probably made a couple of mistakes; I'll correct them in time as I search through the other documentation that abounds here. OjnoTheRed.

Table for OXP list implemented

Apologies to anyone watching this page who has just received multiple update messages. I'm just getting the hang of Wiki, thought I'd ironed out what was needed in the Sandbox, but found I hadn't. I promise I'll use the Sandbox more extensively before updating a page in future.

The table will be filled out in time so that anyone who just wants the alpha list of downloads but might want to get more information before downloading can go to the relevant page. My (very ambitious!) idea is to fill out the missing information about expansion packs as I go.

I might also put another column of Category into the table, so that there's a brief (three word max) description to give a broad idea of what each OXP does.

Great work. I'm sure that we can put up with multiple update messages if it means that someone is working on the Wiki as much as you have recently. Only suggestion would be to put some lines down the columns of the OXP table, or even a grid, but don't ask me how! ;)

We're moving along!

Thanks Uncle Reno and LittleBear. This is the kind of collaboration I love. What I'm almost finished doing is working my way through the Ships section, providing links for more information, even where the page hasn't got any more information that "this ship can be found in the *.oxp expansion pack." What I'm quickly spotting is which OXPs are well documented and which are not.

This is creating some problems with table layout; there's too many columns. What I'm going to muck around with is placing the lists of ships vertically in a single column, and then I'll be implementing some form of grid. I've had a look at the Wiki help, and you can custom colour each individual cell if you want to. I'm thinking of making the left and right padding zero for each cell, but small padding above and below, and then making each alternate row white and light blue (the colour you can see at the moment on the table - I took this from the Sandbox and it looks good). I'll try for a look and feel similiar to the Ship data tables.

Once I've finished going through the Ship Wiki pages, I'll go through Stations, Missions, and everything else until we have a comprehensive table in one spot. Then I'll see if I can have a got at filling in all the missing ship and station details.
