Oolite Bulletins

I was able to download Weapon Laws OXP with the Expansion Manager in my borrowed Mac, and Lave had Pulse and Beam Lasers for sale but no Military Laser. But yesterday I had to actually change the name of the NPC Energy Units oxz file I uploaded to the wiki server, otherwise I would get the old file ...

I loaded 400+ OXPs and those are the ones with un-parseable plists: [plist.parse.failed]: Failed to parse /Users/dybal/Library/Application Support/Oolite/Managed AddOns/oolite.oxp.tsoj.secretarybird.oxz/Config/shiplibrary.plist as a property list. [plist.parse.failed]: Failed to parse /Users/dybal/L...

If it is indeed a common occurrence as you mentioned above, you can try removing all OXPs and playing for a couple of days expansion-clean. It will surface sooner or later if it is a core problem. One thing that perhaps could be done is to change the AIs so group peers don't attack each other... ho...

If it is indeed a common occurrence as you mentioned above, you can try removing all OXPs and playing for a couple of days expansion-clean. It will surface sooner or later if it is a core problem. I think I have the scenario pretty well defined as an OXP problem: I put traces in all the relevant au...

This OXP is in my TODO list for updating and making sure it smoothly integrates with N-Shields. I plan to do as I did with NPC Energy Units for the same reason (the original's license): re-write as a new OXP (different ID, incompatible with the original so there is no collision) and put the new vers...

"The libraries in the Mac used to parse a plist seem to be less tolerant of some things than the GNUStep libraries on Linux:"

You might add that I was talking about plists

Yes, you can.

It's with operations that would give different results for numbers and strings that you have to be careful, like: a=1, b=2, a+b would be 3 if numbers or 12 if strings. And array sorting, the default method would sort [0, 9, 101] as [0, 101, 9]

Ah ok, thanks. (I thought that was a string-function only).

JS loves strings... you have to go out of your way to make sure you get a number, with functions like parseInt() and passing the comparision function to array's sort method.

Attempting to use Math.trunc(x) to get the integer part of a number, my latest.log gives the error 13:06:22.407 [script.javaScript.exception.notFunction]: ***** JavaScript exception (Elite Trader 1.12): TypeError: Math.trunc is not a function Is Math.trunc() not the commonly accepted way to do this...

When you work out what the issue is, how will you publicise it? I'd like to mention your fix in my Apple problems post. Asides my ever-present typos, the libraries in the Mac seems to be less tolerant of some things than the GNUStep libraries on Linux: lists are enclosed in '(' ')' with items separ...

Vimana Hip Overrides OXP v2.07 is available on the Expansion Manager and here . Changes Fixes shipdata.plist for compatibility with Macs I fixed the manifest for VimanaHUD and uploaded an errata to the current version - I didn't update the version number since for those that were able to install, it...

 SniperLock Plus OXP v1.0.1 is available on the Expansion Manager and here.

Changes

• Fixes equipment-overrides.plist so it's parsed on Macs - the equipment-overrides makes the normal sniperlock equipment not be shown in Ship Outfitting for ships that already upgraded to sniperlock plus.

I think this is OXP induced.

Indeed... the cases I found are, but that could happen with any ship whose shipdata definition defines a bounty and role hunter for the ship.

I think it probably is unintentional too, and there are quite a few scams in the real world, so this one could be realistic, but it's too common: it happens to me each two to three game sessions.

At least one can fight back, if no cop is around, without turning fugitive...
