== Default Key Assignments ==

Linux users will find the following key assignments in <code> /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist </code> (assuming you did a default installation!).
++[[Please Note]]: All characters in capitals are shift + character, i.e. R = shift + r.++

== Changing Key Assignments ==

If you want to change key assignments ''don't'' alter the default file. Instead copy <code> keyconfig.plist </code> from
<code> /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/ </code> to
<code> /usr/lib/Oolite/AddOns/Config/</code>.
(Note that you may need to create the Config directory first.)

You can edit <code> keyconfig.plist </code> with any standard text editor. You'll find a list of Linux keycodes [http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hlkeycodes.html here]. Note that Oolite uses ''decimal'' values whereas most keycodes are expressed in ''hexadecimal''. This can cause confusion. For example the comma key produces a keycode of 2C (hex) which translates to 44 (decimal), whereas keycode 44 (hex) refers to the uppercase "D" key, which is actually 68 (decimal)! (If you don't have a hex/decimal calculator handy try [http://www.lookuptables.com/ this table] or [http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/color/hexcalc.htm this online converter].)

== Undocumented Keys ==

The following keys aren't yet official so your mileage may vary!

{| border="1" cellpadding="9" align="center"
|+
|-style="background:darkslateblue; color:white"
! Action !! Key !! Keycode (Dec) !! Keycode (Hex) !! Notes
|-align="center"
! Toggle Mouse Control
| Shift + M || 77 || 4D || When activated, the mouse becomes a virtual joystick. (Under Linux: only in fullscreen mode) The left mouse button fires and the right should re-centre your ship.
|-
|-align="center"
! Get pwm coordinates
| Shift + F || || || Shows the pwm coordinates at any time while flying in space.
|-
|-align="center"
! Open the console.log
| Pause, 0 || || || It opens the console.log. Highly useful for debugging OXPs or helping Giles or Ahruman to debug Oolite.
|-
|-align="center"
! Enable planet textures
| Pause, t || || || Turns on the experimental on-the-fly generation of planet textures. Dock and launch or hyperjump to see the effect. This feature is still under development and [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3644 may produce unintended results].
|-

== Silly Keyboard Tricks ==

* Change <code> key_launch_missile </code> to 112. Now you'll need to hit "p" to launch a missile - which also pauses the game. You'll sometimes get a nice snapshot of the departing missile!

OXP

Ovvldc: /* Downloading OXPs */ fixed internal link

[[Image:oolite-oxp-icon.png|100px|right|OXP icon]]
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. The OXP itself is a folder which takes the form of the icon above, which Oolite scans when it is started. 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.

== Downloading OXPs ==

Most OXPs are found at [http://oosat.alioth.net The Oolite Satellite Resource Site] (see also [http://capnhack.com/hosting/oolite/Oolite/OoSat.html the old CapnHack OoSat]).

Some information and download links to the various Mission OXPs can be found on the Wiki [[Oolite Missions|here]].

Not all OXPs are listed on the Oosat2 site (some can only be found on the Oosat1 site). If however a version of an OXP appears on both sites use the version from the Oosat2 site or from the Wiki. The versions of Spyhunter, Ionics and the Assassins Guild on Oosat1 contain bugs. The updated (bug fixed) versions of Spyhunter and Ionics can be found on Oosat2. The latest version of the Assassins Guild is now stored on the Wiki.

OXP authors are encouraged to use the Wiki to store their OXPs, in order that eventually all the OXPs will be in one place. Download links to all the OXPs are shown below.

If you scroll to the bottom of this page a link to Oolite Expansion packs is shown. This link will take you to the OXPs stored on the Wiki. In terms of being up to date, the latest versions of OXPs will be found on the Wiki, then Oosat2 and finally Oosat1.

== 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 [[List_of_software|tools]], a player can make small or big changes, and customize the gaming experience.

== 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 [[List_of_software|tools]], a player can make small or big changes, and customize the gaming experience.
