... Is there a procedure/wiki page for submitting this?

Nevermind, found it.
Bug report guidelines

For a quick fix, insert the following single line into variablemasslock.js, If that's the fix, I can push an update to Variable Masslock. gilhad seems to like it, so yes, push the update. I'd thought I could reconcile the 2 oxp's by changing variablemasslock to use player.ship.masslockAble and leav...

I've done all I can for now. Barring any bugs, it'll do. You can find the new variablemasslock.js here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wxeof3e535x8pwoymyn2x/variablemasslock.js?rlkey=n28jyqchtoea11m77951tngrv&dl=0 Thanks phkb for handling the update. It's been so long, I'd screw it up somehow! N...

You may as well wait 1) to see if gilhad has checked it out and 2) I'm 80% finished re-writing it! I've only sped it up 20% and it was fast to begin with but the memory leaks :shock: 0.15 MB / frame * 60 fps = 9 MB / sec That's ridiculous worst case but would cause garbage collect every 29 sec! I've...

I found the culprit - variablemasslock. It implements ship specific masslock radii by playing around with entity's scanClass. The telescope marker starts out unable to induce masslock but once variablemasslock has done it's thing, well, you know. For a quick fix, insert the following single line int...

My hack didn't work because the masslockable property is unique to player's ship, not any ship <sigh>. I rebooted w/ clean install and the oxp's you listed (couldn't buy all the equipment though). And I can now reproduce the bug! But I don't know why it happens now, as it did not before my reboot. T...

But what I suspect is, that there is the target visible at radar (as very far object) and also some "shadow target" at like 30 km (the edge of radar) Yes, Oolite restricts detection to scannerRange. What telescope does for more distant objects is to create a tiny ship just inside scannerR...

I copied the file so you can delete it any time. I've set up an install w/ all your oxps and we'll see if I can reproduce the problem (baby steps)

In future, Post Reply (even if it's to yourself!) Glad to see you were able to disable it an continue playing. I not clear on what th...

Is this still true? ...you can only (currently) pass one parameter in the console ....If you want to know the list of current macros in the console, either use the :listM command in the console, or for the more manual approach look in debugConfig.plist in the config folder of basic-debug.oxp. The b...

1) should this OXP be classified as a "cheat" for the moment? Good question. Vanila Oolite has the ASC; this just makes it more legible. I don't think providing the distances is a cheat by itself; more info but not really actionable. However, if you opt for the extended option, which give...

This definitely seems to be related to Telescope ... Relax, you don't need to dive into Telescope. The problem arises from $findShipsWithBeacons() including the player's ship's visual target in the list it returns. It's created w/ system.addVisualEffect (which copies beaconCode), not system.addShip...

I tested my luck by simply applying this. Got an error message in the logs.

I needed a github account to view the logs. cag was taken (!) so I'm Oocag

Perhaps that could be a hint in the debug console at startup.

You control the source at the moment, add what you'd like at line 4309

For my test, I've copied OoJSC128x128.png to $HOME/.local/share/icons Was there a problem w/ the 256x256 icon? In production, this ought to do as the Oolite installer does and set a full path. Are you planning to include this in Linux package/installer? All I've been doing is parking the executable...
