Here are some links to over 150 OXPs which are not in the in-game Expansions Manager. Maybe 100 work properly with Oolite v.1.90!

Traders Almanach entry for Lave (Equipment OXPs)

List of .oxp's

Activities

  • GalCop Rewards - Phantorgorth's lottery reward system to cut down on minor misdemeanours (2012)
  • Gas Giant Skimming: (Requirement: Ore Processor OXP by Eric Walch) Allows players to skim fuel, and possibly other commodities, from gas giant-type planets. See Deep Horizon collection below (2011)

  • Pirate Player.oxp by Phkb (2018)
  • Safe Docking - laws for docking and fines for transgressions by Phantorgorth (2012)
  • Solar Harvest (downloaded 83 times) by Ocz (2016): Skimming thread. The .oxp has tweaks such as preprocessed and processed plasmas!

• Economics & Trade

Some of New Deal's icons (Economics OXPs)
  • First Finance (downloaded 77 times) by Ocz: Beginning the game with a loan to pay off - the loan! (2014)

  • Risky Business.oxz (Phkb's collection below, 2020) aims to make Multi-Gov, Feudal and Anarchy systems more rewarding for traders, by tweaking prices on a few goods. Goods that are already over the average could be increased. Goods that are below the average could be reduced. Not all goods will be impacted at all locations.
  • Ye Olde Hermit markets - Spara's rejig of the newer sparser rock hermit markets back to the older more profitable version (2015&17). BB Discussion thread.

Equipment

Deeper Space HUD (HUDs & MFDs OXPs)

HUDs & MFDs

Mechanics

  • Configurable Populator makes some populator settings easily adjustable (requires Oolite 1.84 and Library OXP). 110 downloads. Discussion here (2016).
  • Extended Shipyards by Capt. Murphy (2012). Allows test flights & ship hire. May no longer be compatible.
  • Friend or Foe by Tricky (2012). Enhances ship-group interaction. Requires some tweaking of ship scripts.
  • Pirate Ambushes: Introduces a new tactic for pirates in lower-government systems- Hijacking the Witchspace buoy and moving it to a more 'advantageous' position. See Deep Horizon collection below (2011).
  • Population Control.oxz (Phkb's collection below, 2019) is intended to limit the size of pirate groups in safer systems. The number of police patrols is also increased slightly.
  • Space Lane Adherance Bonus.oxz (Phkb's collection below, 2016) was intended as a way of dealing with the go off-lane to avoid pirates recommendation, normally given to new pilots who are struggling with combat in the early part of the game. It encourages staying on the witchpoint-to-planet spacelane by giving a small bonus to players who stay on or close to it.

Named Collections

Note on downloading from Box: if one cannot download individual oxp's from Box, try deselecting your desired oxp and clicking the "download" button in the top right corner of the page. You may be rewarded with a single bulky download of each and every file in that collection instead!
Alternatively, edit the name of the Box site, replacing http://www.box.net/... with http://app.box.net/...

  • These are listed in an approximate date order of newest oxps in each collection, oldest (2006/7) at the bottom.

Phkb (2014-21)

  • Phkb's experimental OXPs (see here for the links to the OXPs - and their discussions): 2021
CompressedJSON.zip is a utility designed for OXP developers. Many OXP's use JSON to package up data into the save game file, and then extract it again when loading the game. JSON is a rather bulky format, though, and it doesn't take long for your data to start making your save game file quite large. Compressed JSON simply reduces the amount of space the JSON data takes up, thereby reducing your save game file. See the readme file inside the ZIP for details on how to use it.
Hermitage.zip gives you the opportunity to own your own Rock Hermit.
Maintenance TuneUp.oxz provides the ability to do a maintenance tune up, even when the normal overhaul is not available.
Population Control.oxz is intended to limit the size of pirate groups in safer systems. The number of police patrols is also increased slightly.
Risky Business.oxz aims to make Multi-Gov, Feudal and Anarchy systems more rewarding for traders, by tweaking prices on a few goods. Goods that are already over the average could be increased. Goods that are below the average could be reduced. Not all goods will be impacted at all locations.
Space Lane Adherance Bonus.oxz was intended as a way of dealing with the go off-lane to avoid pirates recommendation, which is normally given to new pilots who are struggling with combat in the early part of the game. This OXP encourages players to stay on the witchpoint-to-planet spacelane by giving a small monetary bonus to players who stay on or close to it as much as possible.
PlanetForests.oxp & PlanetOceans.oxp for the Vanilla game: restores the image of the planet to match its description on the F7 page.

Rustem (2018-9)

  • Rustem's collection is on Box. Different versions of Orbits, with tweaks for some other oxps to align with Orbits. Also Norby's MicroGTorus. 11 oxp's.
  • Not in either his collection or the Expansions Manager is Stealth Raiders (2019) - nastier foes in safer systems

Svengali (2012-18)

  • Svengali's Collection on Box. 2016-8, but many from 2012. Seemingly a mix of stuff already posted for more general in-game use, with some more esoteric gubbins for .oxp programmers (for using Library, GNN etc). Over 120 files (some .oxps). His picks seem to be older files which he was maintaining.
Picks - Pallas (ship)
Picks - RoC Remorse Of Conscience v2 (2013) (ship)
Picks - WPB (2013) Old Witchpoint Buoy
Picks - RVandGS Renegade Viper and Grass Snake (2011)
Tools - CCL Materials Finder (for Cabal Common Library)
Developers Edge (Library) - Halsis2.oxp
Developers Edge (Library) - Lib Animator Demo.oxp

Developers Edge (Resources) - BGS i 15 files
Developers Edge (Resources) - BGS images (4.1Mb)

Griff (2009-18)

A note about Griff's collections: they are spread around. The box account linked below is the largest collection, but there are also Spara's collection of Griff's collections, in Ships above there is Griff's Organic Thargoids, and in Ambience, Ice Asteroid.

  • Griff's Collection: Griff is the official ship designer for Oolite: the vanilla game ships, stations etc are all his. It will probably be better to download his oxp's from the Expansion Manager... but if you are running an older version of Oolite, his collection may be helpful. If you are OXPing yourself, it should prove invaluable.
It includes such oddities as a burning alloy movie!

  • See Norby's, Svengali's & Phkb's collections above for a large assortment of tools
  • CAG's javascripts collection on Box (c. 2018) for reducing garbage collection.
  • frames/second monitor by CAG on DropBox.
  • Planet rotation tester.oxp by Eric Walch (2010): BB thread.
  • Mission Offering Protocol & Manual by Eric Walch (2007): BB thread.
  • Griff's resources for those designing ships (2010-8).
  • Legacy script comes in two versions: XML & OpenStep. Commander Jettison wrote 2 small programmes for translating the more opaque XML into OpenStep which you can find here (2011-17). The older version is on the first page, the newer on the third page of the thread.

Oddities


GalCop Health Warnings

  • The major rejigs of Oolite under Cim in 2014 (v.1.80) & 2015 (v.1.82) broke many unmaintained older .oxp's.
  • Many early threads were lost due to the Great Deletion before Aug 2008.
