Coyote’s Run OXP by Okti
Coyote's Run brings Cody's novella Coyote to life as an exciting mission OXP.
Introduction
This OXP is based on the Oolite fiction short story Coyote, by Cody.
The mission will commence when the player jumps into Laquused in G5, with a Cloaking Device. The mission uses comms messages extensively, and the player can check the current instructions by accessing the F5-F5 screen. Also, all previous mission screens can be viewed by pressing F7 when docked to view System Information. The normal System Information can be displayed by a second F7 when mission screens are exited.
Most of the actions are scripted according to the tale and only slightly changed or extended. It would be handy to have read the tale, or to read it during the mission play, but the OXP can be enjoyed even if you haven’t read the tale.
The short story Coyote, can be downloaded here.
Installation
Inside the .zip there are two OXPs... move the Coyote’s Run.oxp into your AddOns folder. If you use Griff’s all-in-one shipset in your game, then you should also install the Coyote’s Run for Griff.oxp into your AddOns folder... this will ensure that all the ships in the OXP are Griff ships. NB: the Coyote's Run for Griff.oxp is currently broken, and should not be installed. The main OXP should run okay, but there may be some problems, as it needs an update.
