this little project is unbelievable.

and if you know coding one can make it even better (curses 🙁 )

still not equaled by anything else

kudos to them!

if they put an auto pilot in to oolite it would be soooooooooo much better!!!! its too much like hard work lining up with stations and docking by your self! 😡 new screen shots look awsome tho! gonna down load just to look at the eye candy,doubt ill play it poperly tho due to the auto pilot issue.i can dock! and im quite good at it, it just annoys me, its meant to be in the future surley if they can suss hyperspace travel they could get a flight computer to dock a a blummin ship lol!!

You only have to dock manually for a little while, then you can buy a Docking Computer for something like 1500 CR. 😀 Not that hard to work towards hmm?

What is this? A mod of another game? I keep seeing the word Oolite and am feeling left out...how old is this game? Will it conform to my lust for eye candy? Or is this another glorified win95 rehash?

It's not really an eye candy.

It is an elite remake for windows,they made it so good that it surpassed the original in many ways.And there are many mods to it too.Check this out for more info

never knew you could get a docking computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im down loading ooilte v 1.73.4 now. hope its the right one tho???? i dont want Linux or the mac one do i?? can some one clarify with one it is for a normal windows p.c please!! 😳

That may be a special version of the game have a look through there forum to find out.

Had a look around the Oolite forums and I think what you have to do if you want The new shader version of oolite ,is to download the oxp which contains the high res models ect,have a look here.

I see they have planefall mod now. 😎

looked through all OXP`s could not identify any specific one that regarded the new shading jobby, and there where loads!!!! 😯

There are a few that say they have shader version,the only one I tried is the shady cabra,but it did not look a lot different.This might be the thread about it Ive not got the time to look through it.

sorry to be a hassle, thank you again will look now 😀

I'm a contributor to the Community. I made several OXP (Oolite Expansion packs) One of them is the Famous planets series that provides textured planets for Galaxy 1. And currently a version for Galaxy 2 is in the making.:

A Youtube vid with my own music is here:

You can watch some new stations and ships with shaders etc in action.

I'm not quite a contributor, but I do my best at the Forum to help Oolite newbs solve any problems they have, and I host the latest installers for all platforms on my website, as well as the all-in-one Griff_Normalmapped_Ships OXP (Oolite eXpansion Pack) which is the set of ships generally regarded as the sexiest currently available for Oolite. Which is not to denigrate the other normalmapped/shaderified ships available, the Neolite ship pack, for example, designed to replace the standard core ships, is also excellent. It should be noted that the Griff_Ships are a work in progress, there are still about 8 ships and some miscellaneous objects to go to complete the core ships set.

You can obtain them at my site, Dizzy's Oolite Downloads

Here are some samples of the work done by Griff: And yes, these are all actual in-game screenshots... Click on the thumbnails for full-size versions.

This really is an awsome game........answer to docking problems just start the game, make a save, come out of game, look on your hard drive for the oolite folder, double click it, find the saves file, double click, inside select the name that you saved under, and double click, right... you should be faced with (what was to me at 1st 😮 ) a load of code jargon. just look down the list of code until u see a docking computer bit with false in brackets n doofers, just delete false and add true...... and TA DA!!!! when you load up next time and start ur saved game you will magically have the docking computer!!!!

Way Hey! not bad eh!!?? you can also add credits by using the same method but be care full if your loaded with cash it kinda spoils the game!! 😎 😎 😎 😎

Hi DizietSma

Downloading as I write this, thanks for posting the link to your site! 🙂

Awesome models of the ship cheers for the links DizietSma. 😀

love the scuffed Cobra. 😎

Can't see your famous planet oxp in the oxp list? pagroove,is it under a different name?. ❓

Looks great in the vid 😎

You have to scroll far far down below the table to 'Eye candy and other m. objects' but here's the direct WIKI page

http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Famous_Planets_2.0.OXP

Don't forget to read the .pdf manual which describes the planets in short

I recommend downloading Clymagnus' excellent maps ( you will find them here)

And then immerse yourself in the even more awesome new galaxy guide

Cheers for for the links Pagroove, 😀 Ive not been able to download the planets oxp as will take to long,

will try at the weekend again.Although I got a feeling it might not work with the netbook.

Cant believe that theres no furry dice oxp 😯

NUTS!!! every time I get a half decent transfer rate for the famous planet oxp I lose the the download link about

30mb from the end.

Hi Pagroove & the rest of the Oolite community

I have only one thing to say about your Famous Planets OXP, beautiful, well done and not to put any pressure on you, already looking forward to your next update. You know, looking at all the OXPs that are available out there for Oolite (including PLANETARY LANDINGS! 😮 ) really makes me appreciate the amount of devotion and love the Oolite community as a whole has for the project. Well done to all of you! It's also my hope that the FFE3D community can be just as good with their project. Certainly they too are going in the right direction. Two "proper" Elite games with the features we all wished the originals had. Great stuff guys! 🙂 I also hope a certain Cambridge developer is taking notes! 😉

Lastly (but not least), Pinback

Did you manage to get it yet?

I got it from here

http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP

Try that if you haven't already, hope that helps! 😉

Its the one I have been trying,but it keeps coming back with download times of 3/4 hours

occasionally I get 1/1 and half,I'lljust have to keep trying 😥

Any one know if oxp cancel each other out. ❓

That's annoying Pinback. 😡 There must be other links out there somewhere.

As to your other question, yes they can conflict with each other. Always check before trying it. Some are not compatible with the latest version of Oolite. It's no big deal, just delete the offending OXP from the add-ons folder and all will be well again. You should be safe enough though if your just wanting extra missions. I have over 20 OXPs in my Oolite and so far no problems.

Cheers Geraldine 😀

That your ad here oxp is great, 😎 will have to read up on how the ads are made.

going to try the planet landing one,but my docking skill are not what they used to be,think I may have to use the cheat to get some credits. 😳

Is just me or is docking harder in Oolite than Elite?. ❓

No worries Pinback, and yes I think it is harder to dock, its either the increased frame-rate over the original games or in my case pilot ineptitude! 😆
