Some have been replaced with more up-to-date Expansions, and others are no longer appropriate, or necessary due to improvements in the core game. Some of my older OXPs are not scheduled for conversion, and are no longer maintained or supported. Warning:- The OXPs listed below have not been optimised for Oolite v1.80 and cannot therefore be recommended for general use.
#OOLITE FORUM ARCHIVE#
The original OXP version is still available from the archive and can be downloaded here. This expansion has now been converted to OXZ format by Amah and is available via the Expansion Manager. I also contributed to the Staer 9 Chopped Cobra OXP. As TOGY is maintained by others, the conversion is currently on hold. TOGY Memorials is a plug-in for the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard OXP (TOGY), and will be converted when the 'main' OXP is. Most of my OXPs have already been converted to OXZ and are available through the game's in-built Manager, except those listed below. With the release of Oolite v1.80, which has an integrated Expansions Manager, the OXP format for Expansions is being superceded by a new OXZ format.
#OOLITE FORUM FULL#
Each Expansion has its own page full of information and images - they are listed on my Oolite Wiki User Page, which also has a description of my in-game persona and ship. There are hundreds of Expansion Packs available which add new ships, missions and eye candy to the basic game and there is an in-game manager which allows these to be added and removed easily.įull details of all my expansions can be found on the Oolite Wiki. It is cross-platform, with versions for Linux, Mac and Windows, and is constantly under development by an enthusiastic community, meaning it just keeps getting better and better.īeing open-source, it is easy for anyone to change aspects of the game using simple text and graphics editors, either for their own use, or to release as fully working AddOns for everybody to enjoy.
The game's open-ended nature and flexibility keep it fresh no matter how much you play, and the game lends itself to both short and long gaming sessions. Oolite stays true to the 'Elite' spirit and canon, but expands on it as well, making the most of today's computers' superior processing power and graphics abilities.Īlthough fundamentally quite a simple game, it is compelling and absorbing. It re-defined space trading games and its significance is still widely recognised. Elite was hugely popular some 25 years ago and was available for all the popular computers of the day, such as Amigas, Commodore 64s and BBC micros and the NES. Oolite is a space combat and trading game, and is a modern re-imagining of the classic 'Elite'.
