Oolite has a new test release. Released a while ago.The game keeps on making good progress.Download[url]http://www.oolite.org/download.shtml[/url] main page[url]http://www.oolite.org/[/url] trailer for 1.74

Oooh goody! Thanks for that pagroove

To prevent disappointments:The Trailer Vid is made with a host of OXP's (expansion packs for Oolite). The core game looks a lot more like the original Elite. The beauty of the game is that you basically can modify anything. (almost anything). If you need help then become member of the Oolite Forum. The friendly people there will gladly help you.

what's with the tiny starmap? didn't I see 8 galaxies mentioned in the movie?

Can you list which OXP were used Pagroove.

There are 250 Planets devided in 8 galaxies. To jump between them you have to buy a galactic hyperdrive. In the vid I am in galaxy 1.

250 planets in 8 galaxies? that's too few even if they were stars. Elite had more than that in one galaxy...

250 in each galaxy. Sorry so 8 x 250 = 2000 planets in total. The same as Oolite. Oolite uses the same planet seed like Elite.If you want to see the planet list then look here:[url]http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_planet_list[/url] chose the galaxy you wanna view.

Well it's not 150+ but the above list. I didn't count. But I exaggerated a bit.

An older vid from my Youtube page showing gameplay with the BGS.oxp (Oolite in windowed mode) which gives Oolite a better sound engine, station backgrounds and sounds (engine sound etc). Giving Oolite another feel.Also shown in this vid is Famous Planets.oxp v 2.5 (in the vid it says 2.0. but the most recent version is 2.5.)Also in the system of Resori. I skip some parts.

[url]http://www.nag.co.za/2010/09/review-oolite/[/url] got reviewed. Got this from the Oolite forum.Original thread: [url]http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=8437&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0[/url]

Nice review and great to see Oolite getting some deserved attention. I have been meaning myself to give Oolite a review it's just finding the time to fit it in.

Please do :)Then one without (vanilla)and one with oxp's.While having Pioneer is great. Oolite still is lots of fun!

Oolite is definitely the best Elite remake that I've ever seen. And I'm simply happy, the indie space sim games are still in progress

me too i would love to see pioneer get even better but i love oolite lol

To keep the game in the spotlightsThe nightly builds (not the test releases) are already on 175.0.3781.These are developer builds (not official supported test versions) But they are always pushing the envelope.You can always find the nightly bulds here: (use at your own risk)Better keep 2 Oolite installs. One for playing and one for testing.Moderators. How about an Oolite space on the forums?Link to nightly builds:[url]http://www.terrastorage.ath.cx/oolite/status_win32.htm[/url] to Screenshots thread on the forum[url]http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4494[/url] to the forum in general[url]http://aegidian.org/bb/index.php[/url] to Oolite.org[url]http://www.oolite.org/[/url] to Oolite Wiki[url]http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_Main_Page[/url]

Excellent idea Pagroove. I am sure Darkone can make a new section at the SSC for Oolite and thanks for the info too!

I have no problems making forums as long as they get utilized and not abandoned (ahem like the Jumpgate TRI forums). I can make this happen this weekend no problem.
