Oolite Bulletins

I truly don't understand why OoliteStarter has to be so precious about old versions of OXPs to the extent that it breaks things whenever I update. Every time I update OXPs I get errors on load saying that I have duplicate expansions. And they're all the ones I just updated. Because OoliteStarter see...

Just to say, Arquebus's Oolite 1.90 - Let's Play Poorly - Episode 1 - the video that started it all is now up to 13,000 views! Last time I looked (a year ago?) it was 2,000!

Yeah that's just bananas. It's the second most viewed video on my channel, and I think has the most comments.

I'm also a lot more sanguine than most about the impact American volatility will have in places like Ukraine, Israel and other areas where the assumption has been that American diplomacy is the only way forward. I'm glad that it looks like Europe is preparing to fill the void in Ukraine, in the even...

It is, yes! The current situation in the U.S. is terrible, and likely to get worse. However, I tend to focus more on the broader scale of things, though I generally don't bring it up around other people in this country since they might take it as callousness. In a hundred years, none of this is goin...

Running 0.1.33-innocuous.3 On the Expansions tab. Left side: filter by updatable. List (on left) is empty. Reset. Right side: filter by updatable. List (on right) has two items: 'No Market' Notification and Loadout by Category. Clicking on each, I can confirm that both are at least 0.1 version behin...

Well, after fixing the home directory, I'm still getting this issue. So what is in the logfile this time? Here's the current logfile: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nyhj4jtb1nmm939l45a9f/oolite-starter.zip?rlkey=6fir92pa69s1heymsw8fp4cnc&st=8qdqs03i&dl=0 I ran Starter today and it asked me ...

Are you using any OXPs that impact the UI/music? If so, those tracks will be inside the OXP zip file as audio files.

Well, after fixing the home directory, I'm still getting this issue.

Ah that's probably it! The home directory was set to C:\Oolite not C:\Ooolite\oolite.app.

Yes, it looks like everything is in the right place. When I do an install of whichever build I've downloaded, it defaults to C:\Oolite and correctly overrides everything there.

There is something unexpected in your setup. I found this text: 2024-10-22 14:37:26,776 WARN oo.st.MainFrame [AWT-EventQueue-0] Could not get version for C:\Oolite java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Oolite\Resources\manifest.plist (The system cannot find the path specified) I do not know your setup ...

Here's the log:

I must have misunderstood. The problem I'm having is that the version has not changed and yet Starter is telling me to download it again, and it does this constantly. Where are the logs again?

Got it, ok! So it can't really track exact build versions.

So it didn't give me the update message all day yesterday, but it did again just now. The version hasn't changed.
