||
| + | == Requirements == |
||
| − | This is gonna change! |
||
| + | * Latest version needs Oolite v1.77 |
||
| + | * No dependencies. |
||
| − | This OXP adds 10 unique planets to Galaxy 1. Some planets are true to the descriptions of the novel Status Quo [[Status Quo]] by Drew Wagar (found and down loadable on the Oolite Bulletin Board, a must read) and the [[Rough Guide]] to the Ooniverse by [[User:Disembodied|Disembodied]]. |
||

The new version of Famous Planets is here! This OXP adds planetary texts to the F7 screen. The text expand on the original descriptions and include elements from Oolite fiction. The OXP was designed to work in tandem with the Povray Planets set that you can read all about in this thread. If you have the Povray set then you also SEE the textures that I made. This version does not include the textures anymore.
I hope you have fun with it. I'm glad it's released.

- More Planet descriptions for the F7 screen than in v 2.5. Also some famous places in other galaxies get some text. Many descriptions are true to the described planets in Drew Wagar's novellas Status Quo and Mutabilis.

Changes
- The textures themselves are not in this oxp anymore. Those textures are now in the Povray Planets OXP (it makes the updating process easier if one need not download massive texture files as well when only the textual descriptions have been tweaked!). To see the textures you need the Povray Sets also.
- The music packs are also taken out of the oxp. I want to make some new music and/or make a hyperradio station pack for the Hyperradio OXP by Svengali.
