Various custom ships / paint jobs to add variety to the ooniverse. Plus gang warfare!

Overview

This Oolite expansion pack adds a collection of classic Elite ships with custom paint jobs. Includes also a large number of custom and standard racing vehicles, gang warfare and an anarchic gang of pirates with tiger stripes that somehow don't like the player.

Replaces (and fixes) Custompaints & Racers by Arexack Heretic (before 2007).

Requirements

This OXP requires version 1.65 of Oolite for the extra ships, or version 1.75+ for the scripted encounters.

Download

Place the folder Hotrods.oxp inside the Oolite\AddOns folder, restart Oolite. See OXP for more information (if needed).

Hotrods v0.53 Ships. Update for Custompaints&Racers_v2_0b.oxp & custpaint1.oxp.


Compatible with Oolite v1.65 and above. Gang warfare available on Oolite v1.75 and above.

Gang warfare info: After the player's kills score gets to 30, the gang warfare begins.

At the moment there's only one gang: the tiger gang, and it doesn't like the player. The tiger gang should show itself in numbers in about a third of the systems. They'll have a go at the player the next 5-10 times the player encounters them, then things will quiet down again. (but for how long?)

Individual tiger gang members can also - occasionally - be spotted just about anywhere, but they're not especially singling out the player. Keep this expansion in the AddOns folder to add variety to the Ooniverse.

Custom Paint changelog

August 2007: By Arexack_Heretic

Cleanup of all the models inside CP&R & CPJ, about 30 ships between models and paint jobs, including 4 types of tiger ships and 12 '50s racetrack style adders. The internal names of the ships were kept the same, to update older, buggier models with these more recent ones.

Notes

Oolite was created by Giles Williams under creative Commons Licence. As such all derived material, including this Oolite Expansion Pack are subject to the same licence.

Oolite has been moved under another more commercial licence recently, however I feel mentioning the former licence suffices. (I need to get some coffee)


This OXP contains:

-No dependencies (unintended or otherwise) on other OXP's.
-Is written in legacy (pre-Jscript) style.
-graphic material and models based on G.Williams' redux set.
-several new models and associated textures designed by me, the author.
-a small test script.plist, that sets up an ambush for the player. This file is for exposition purposes only, take this out as soon as possible. Later versions will include a more involved script.


Future plans:

-more expanded gang shiplists and behaviour, communications.
-some AI scripted racer behaviour.
