OXP
Contents
What are OXPs?
An OXP (Oolite eXpansion Pack) is an enhancement to the game Oolite. Typically, an OXP is downloaded as a ZIP file, which is expanded and placed in Oolite's AddOns folder. On the Mac the OXP is a shown as an application, which takes the form of the icon shown here. On Windows the OXP appears as a normal folder ending ".oxp". An OXP could be a new game object (such as a ship, space station or a moon), a mission, or a combination of several elements. OXPs can use all of the facilities of Oolite, including some that are not used in the standard, unexpanded game. Whatever your OS, you need to move the OXP into Oolite's AddOns folder. Oolite will only read an OXP if you move the .oxp folder (or Application on the Mac) into Oolite's AddOns folder.
Downloading OXPs
On this page you will find download links to all the OXPs. Most OXPs can also be found at The Oolite Satellite Resource Site (Oosat2) or the older Captain Hack OoSat Site (Oosat1).
Please note however that neither of these sites have been updated for a long time, nor will they be. All updating is now done on this page of the Wiki. You should use the link shown on this page to get the latest version of the OXP. For example, the versions of Assassins.oxp, Ionics.oxp, Thargoid Wars.oxp and Spyhunter.oxp on the Captain Hack site are old versions (and contain bugs). The links on this page will take you to the latest versions.
The download will create a .ZIP file. Unzip it and a new folder will appear. Open this folder and you will see a folder ending .oxp and usually a README file. Move the folder ending .oxp into the Oolite AddOns folder. Next time you load up Oolite the new features added by the OXP will be added to the game. Do read the README file, as this will tell you what the OXP does. If you are updating an old version of an OXP on Oolite 1.69.1 onwards, hold down the SHIFT key whilst Oolite loads up for the first time after installing in order to ensure the cache is updated.
Below you will see a table of all the OXPs set out in alphabetical order. The link in the first column will take you to a Wiki Page giving you information on the OXP and a download link. If no Wiki page is currently available for the OXP, the link will take you directly to a download link.
The links in the next column will take you to Wiki Pages giving information on ships or stations added by the OXP. Many of the Mission OXPs will contain lots of other ships, stations or weapons that are not listed here. The Wiki only gives information on the Ships listed in the galaxy wide "Jane's Spacecraft". Many military, criminal and corporate powers do not make information on the craft they build or use available to the galactic public! Below the Main Table is a list of download links to all the OXPs broken down by category.
Table of all OXPs
| Information / Download | Ships | Stations | Short Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aegidian's Specials | Mussurana | Ships. The powerful Mussurana and an improved Asp. | |
| Aegidian's X-Ships | Python ET Special | Ships. An improved Python, the experimental Cobra Mk II and the fearsome Taipan. | |
| Amen Brick's Pirate Clan One: The Blitzspears (NEW 07/08) | Assassin, Hoodlum, Mugger, Scoundrel and Spiv | Ships. The first of the Pan Galaxy outlaw clans to rise through the leadership of some diabolical criminal genius. What are his, or indeed hers or, further indeed, its future plans? Will their nefarious example be followed by others? The answers are out there... All ships in this version are playable. Future versions (probably modular for memory saving reasons) will have more clans, joinable clans (if I master the arcane art of programming), stations and missions. Stay untuned, folks. Now on less of a pain file host! | |
| Amen Brick's Megaships v1.2 (Amended 07/08) | The Battleship, The Biodome, The Cruiseship, The Hospitalship, The Supercargo, The Superlifter and the Yacht:Amen Class | Ships. Graceful giants cross the galaxies before our eyes. The forlorn Biodome, destined to forever wander the Ooniverse. The Cruiseship taking citizens to holiday planets. The Supercargo ferrying aid to the needy. The private Yacht filled with luxury and the prosaic Superlifter than helps giant ships get to their new homes or their final resting place. Now amended to make spectacular explosions as they try to dock less likely (sorry!) | |
| Amiga Replacement Sounds | Sound Set, based on the sound set used in the Amiga version of the original Elite. | ||
| Anarchies V 1.0 | Hacker Viper | Hacker Outpost | Feature/Ships/Stations. Complete overhaul of Oolite's legal rating system. It gets harder to become clean again. But there are some new ways to achieve this as well: Hacker Outposts can be found in the higher tech Anarchy systems, the criminals willing to clear a fugitive's legal record. For a price of course! Salvage Gangs are spread all over the Ooniverse, providing good equipment deals. Those in Anarchy systems offer a service similar to the Hacker Outposts as well. Sentinel Stations are placed in some of the worst Anarchies. But beware! Some of them have been overthrown by the pirates and are now Renegade Stations. Good news for the pirates among the players, because these are as close to a safe-haven for you as it gets! All of these also feature their own ships. |
| Aphid Escort Service | Ships. Adds the stylish Aphid escort service. | ||
| Aquatics v1.02 | Manta Ray, Shark, Man O' War, Box Escort, Conger Cargo Hauler, Hawksbill Fuel Tanker | Ships.

| Assassins Guild V1.3 (Updated) | Deamon Cruiser | Navy Station | Missions / Ships / Stations / Planets. 21 missions involving murder to order in Galaxy 7, available to experienced Commanders amoral enough to gain admittance to the sinister Assassins Guild. Updated from the versions on Oosat1 & Oosat2. |
| Asteroid Storm V3.46 (Updated 17/7/08) | Feature / Mission. Adds lots of different types of Asteroids to the Universe. A Mission is also included, well suited to a novice Commander. A well known station in Galaxy 1 comes under threat from a large asteroid strike. The updated version fixes a bug that meant that only one new type of asteroid was being added. Now the intended twelve varieties appear in game. | ||

| Bank of the Black Monks | Black Monk Gunship | Black Monk Monastary | Feature / Mission. Monks aboard well armed stations appear in advanced systems.

The Non-Shader Version will run on all versions of Oolite. The Shady version uses Shaders and requires Version 1.71 or higher of Oolite. Slow Systems will struggle to run the Shady Version, so if you find installing it is slowing your system down too much, then try the Non-Shady Version. |

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... | |

Installing an OXP
Unzip the OXP and place it in the folder named AddOns. Sometimes the zipped files contain several folders, make sure you only copy the folder -or file for Macintoshes- ending with .oxp into the AddOns folder. This folder is found in different locations, depending on the platform:
Mac OS X
Found in the folder that contains the Oolite application.
Troubleshooting: If you get an error saying "The item could not be moved because "AddOns" cannot be modified", that can happen if you weren't the user that installed Oolite. The solution is to put the OXP's of your choice in ~/Library/Application Support/Oolite/AddOns/ instead (you may need to create this folder). The error could also be triggered because you’re running from the disk image, you’ll need to copy the game somewhere else. Having done so, if you still get the error, use the Get Info command on the AddOns folder, open the Ownership & Permissions pane and check that it says You Can: Read & Write.
Linux
If the game was installed system-wide, it is in /usr/lib/Oolite/AddOns. If it was installed just for the currently logged in user, it will be in the user's home directory, in $HOME/.local/lib/Oolite/AddOns except Debian systems. Debian changes the folder locations to $HOME/.Oolite/Addons., $HOME/Library/Application Support/Oolite/AddOns/ and /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Applications/AddOns. This, hopefully, solves many a Debian users dilemma of where to put the OXPs.
Windows
If the installable package was used (post Jan 06) then the AddOns folder needs to be created in C:\Programs Files\Oolite. Note that this applies if the default installation location is used. If the install location is changed then use the path to the Oolite folder that correspnds to your installation. If the GNUStep dedicated versions (pre-Jan 2006) is used, then the AddOns folder must be created in the oolite.app folder.
After unzipping the file, make sure that it is the OXP folder that put into the AddOns directory - some zipped OXPs can contain a top level folder with a readMe file, and the actual OXP folder is a level further down. If this is the case, move the item with the .oxp extension into the AddOns folder.
Caveats
If you purchase a ship that is an OXP ship and save the game, you will only be able to load that commander as long as this OXP is installed in AddOns. If it's not, Oolite will give you an error instead of trying to load the commander.
Creating an OXP
It is intended to be easy to create expansion packs. With a few simple tools, a player can make small or big changes, and customize the gaming experience.
