Oolite Bulletins

Strangely, after making that code change above, the PC version is now loading at the RH successfully. Weird...

Edit to add: Just confirmed - reverting back to the original code makes the game load at the main station.

OK, got it. Lots of data below. But the discrepancy starts early in the process, on about the 6th call Mac: 17:54:43.040 [testing]: vectorrandomspatial -0.116257, 0.221802, -0.297211 17:54:43.142 [testing]: vectorrandomspatial 0.438492, -0.423035, -0.306473 17:54:43.142 [testing]: vectorrandomspatia...

Err.. not sure if I did something wrong, but... well, you'll see: Here's the code I changed: HPVector OOHPVectorRandomSpatial(OOHPScalar maxLength) { HPVector v; OOHPScalar m; do { OOHPScalar x = randf() - 0.5f; OOHPScalar y = randf() - 0.5f; OOHPScalar z = randf() - 0.5f; OOLog(@"testing"...

Maybe you can try to output the result of each line, one by one, to the log and track rndlocal and rndvalue and the resulting seed in the hope of finding the specific moment where PC and Mac diverge. Just an idea, unfortunately I have no Mac around to try it out myself. Here's what I see, using the...

Marmalised? A fancy way of saying "destroyed". i know offending clean pilots does, but has defending yourself any impact on your legal status? It depends on a couple of factors: (a) Whether you are in range of a reporting entity (ie GalCop station or a Police Viper), and (b) whether your ...

During testing I noticed that iron-assed ships (incl NEU) with 4 energy banks (cobra III, Dragon M) went boom before getting damage .

You're referring to the player ship here, correct? When looking at the code, I can't see how it could apply to NPC's.

After a lot of backwards and forwards debugging, I've come to the conclusion that there is no equality with random numbers between Mac and PC. I don't have a Linux build to test there at the moment. Even starting a new strict game on both: on PC, there are three Rock Hermits created in Lave. On Mac,...

It failed between stages 3 and 4

...and in the CheckRegExps function (lines 741-767)? Maybe output the content of the parameters in that function as well (string and regexps).

Stage 1 was printed, but not Stage 2.

Can you add some additional NSlog entries to the lookUpPerGPUSettingsWithVersionString function (lines 788-825 of the same file)? How far through the function does it get.

There’s actually 2 ways out of Dodge!

How about this one? A strict game AppleMac save at the RH in Tiinlebi!

Cholly, do you get the same results with this save when loading it in the old Oolite 1.90?

What I have learned so far: 1. I really don't like working on a Mac. Wait, did I say that out loud? It's taken me about 40 minutes just to get into a position on the Mac where I have the debug console available. Anyway, rant over. Here's what I really found: On PC, after loading the saved game: > S....

Neither - they're debug lines I accidentally left in. You can safely ignore them.

*note to self - remove debug lines before releasing things*

New version (0.2) now available. In this version: - You can choose whether or not you want to enforce the core categories on all interface screens. Opt in only, and you'll need to save and reload your game to see the effect. - You can also choose whether you want the restructured layout or not. Both...
