1.73.4: Linux - Saves corrupt(?) after dying

[Athanasius]

I've been playing Oolite v1.73.4 for the past few days. It's compiled from sources on a Debian squeeze/sid (testing) system, using the nVidia binary drivers (v 195.22).

Today I died in a fight (bit off way more than I could chew), and upon trying to load the last saved game I now find any save since I installed some OXPs is broken, giving a yellow "?" for the ship model on the Load Commander screen and includes the text "Ship: Cobra Mark III - OXP not installed.".

The OXPs installed are:

GrittyCoriolis
System_Redux
griff_boa
griff_shipset_dizzy's_all_in_1

all of which had been working fine, including a previous death or two and reload.

I would have put the saved game file up for examination but the anti-spammer 2 posts/5days thing is stopping me. I've had a look at a 'diff -u' between this and a save from a fresh game and am at a loss to spot anything that looks like it could cause this.

[Svengali]

Hello Athanasius, welcome this side of Riedquat.

Could you please post the content of the Logfile (Latest.log). I'm pretty sure it tells us a bit more about the problem.

[Athanasius]

I can do that, but bear in mind I've restarted the game several times since, so even the Previous.log won't help much.

Here's with just a startup and attempting to load the affected save:

The save file in question is at www . miggy . org / games / oolite / AthanasiusAddons.oolite-save (without all those spaces, obviously). If there are any debug options I could turn on let me know how to.

Just downloaded it and opened it with my mac version of 1.73.4. It opens without any error. So the problem is not in the ascii content of the file.
(I did not download it as file, but just copied the text from screen)

Same for me (copied screen content too).

So you could try to remove the oxps for the tests. And if the Error remains try the following. To enable advanced logging functionality open logcontrol.plist (oolite.app\Resources\Config\logcontrol.plist) and remove the comment for the _override key (_override = yes;)

But somehow it smells like a build error...

Anyone notice those debugTCP messages?

Wondering whether they might indicate something other than the save file being corrupt?

[Svengali]

Anyone notice those debugTCP messages?

Yes. Oolite tries to connect to the debug console, so the messages are just telling us that Athanasius does not use the debug console.

[JensAyton]

Given that the ship_desc in the saved game is cobra3-player, which is the standard edition Cobra, this definitely sounds like a build problem – the built-in shipdata.plist isn’t being loaded properly.

[Athanasius]

Indeed this fails to work in exactly the same manner without any AddOns (I moved the directory out to my home directory before starting oolite). And, yes, the TCP stuff was just from my having added in the Debug OXP but not having run the console before that oolite startup.

I'm curious as to how the code fails to load 'cobra3-player' for these saved games when it will do it perfectly fine not just for a "Just created a new commander" save but also for the one I'd played a little before putting OXPs in.

I've done a few runs now with __overide = yes uncommented. Logs are at the same location as the save file. I've also placed an 'Athanasius.oolite-save' there which is the "played a bit" save I was on before adding any OXPs. One of the log files is for the successful load of that.

This was built on an up to date Debian squeeze/sid (testing) system. The debian/control file lists the following as Build-Depends (I've added my versions):

libsdl1.2-dev: 1.2.13-5
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev: 1.2.8-6+b1
libespeak-dev: 1.43-1
libgnustep-base-dev: 1.19.3-1
gnustep-core-devel: 7.4
libpng-dev: This is a virtual package, I have libpng12-dev version 1.2.43-1
mesa-common-dev: 7.7-4

Given I only ended up compiling myself because I'd not realised that an X11 library update had once more overwritten the nVidia libGL I'll see if pre-packaged 1.73.4 is available and works.

[Athanasius]

Yup, using oolite-1.73.4-test.x86.package it's working now. If you want me to do anything further to track down why the build failed on my system just let me know.

I compiled it simply by unpacking oolite-dev-source-1.73.4.tar.bz2, cd'ing in, and then running "debian/rules binary" and "dpkg -i"'ing the resulting .deb files.

[edit: I'm uploading the .deb files I was using to the same location, when they're readable they're done. I'll have a look myself to see if I can spot any differences not in the executeable(s).]

[Athanasius]

Aha, one huge difference is that the autopackage version includes its own libraries for things like GNUstep and SDL and sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the wrapper shell script to point to those.

So, possibly some gotcha when bumping up to libgnustep-base 1.19.3 rather than the autopackaged 1.14 ?

[shazbut]

how do you know it's working / fixed?
The reason I ask is because I've the same problem twice today:
Could not find ship type “cobra3-player” - please reinstall the appropriate OXP, when trying to restore from a previous save.

(This forum topic is the only result I get when I google "cobra mark iii" "oxp not installed".)

The first time it did it I ended up starting again, but editing the save file to set my kills to the previous amount, and give enough credits to buy up everything I'd lost. I guess I'm going to end up doing that again, but maybe maintain a couple saves now and try to work out what triggers the corrupt save.

I am running from the trunk version from 26/4/10. Funnily enough I can no longer build from svn, it errors out with:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng14

OS is Ubuntu 10.04, only has libpng12 (-dev), 14 must be too bleedng edge or something.

Forgot to say, the addons I'm running are behemoth 2.5.4 and galactic navy 5.2.2

[JensAyton]

I am running from the trunk version from 26/4/10

Getafix has recently revised the Linux build system. If he doesn’t drop in here with advice, please send him a private message or something.

OS is Ubuntu 10.04, only has libpng12 (-dev), 14 must be too bleedng edge or something.

Not really. 1.4.0 was released in early January, 1.4.1 in February. However, 1.2 is still being maintained (i.e., getting security fixes at the same time as 1.4), and I believe Oolite should work with it just by changing the linker setting.

[Micha]

To link, I had to make a symlink in the deps folder:

Code: Select all

ln -s libpng14.so.14 libpng14.so

I'm not sure what, if anything, Getafix has set up differently on his own build machine which allows him to compile without this modification.

Alternatively, the current trunk defines new Makefile targets which continue to use the system libraries instead of the deps packaged with Oolite:

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile distro-release

and

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile distro-debug

Alternatively, if using the GNUmakefile directly:

Code: Select all

make use_distro_deps=yes

The debian/rules script also uses that flag to ensure distro-specific packages are built.

Cheers,
- Micha.
