CTD with Werewolf 0XP

Post by **Kaks** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 10:30 am

Well if there's an error in the plist, the whole of the plist cannot be read, which will definitely cause some problems anyway, if not CTDs (which shouldn't happen anyway. <Rolled up newspaper mode> Bad Oolite, baad Oolite!).

It's fairly easy to fail notice this kind of stuff if you're working on windows (or linux). It's always worth using someone with a mac as a guinea pig: quite a few plists that seem to load ok in GNUStep have got some stray punctuation and are technically not valid.
Macs will spit out all 'broken' plists, even the ones that GNUStep still manages to cope with.

While we're on the subject, Thargoid, I think the TCAT equipment.plist has got this kind of problem too!

Cheers,

Kaks.

well spotted Griff, i'll sort that tonight. Like Kaks said tho, i thought if the plist was unreadable the ship wouldn't have been available as you'd get a "ship doesn't have a corresponding shipyard entry" thing :-/

This particular error (definition how it should be) should not be a great problem. I think windows had never problems with it. On the mac under tiger (OSX10.4) those plist were refused and did not load at all.
However, the plist editor that ships with Leopard (OSX 10.5) always adds that comma. I always try to make sure I re-save released work with the old plist editor from tiger that saves it in a way that all systems should be able to read. I don't know how the plist editor with Snow Leopard saves this stuff.

But at least the mac refuses plist it can't read correct, windows might get problems on using such plists. But as said, windows should allow this spelling and as far as I know it is only Mac tiger and older that has problems with it.

tried it on Trunk, no bothers, even w/ the extra ",".
in 1.73, i fired it up, bought a WW, got around the F3 screens no bother but crashed when i tried to buy something:
"[exception]: ***** Exception while performing script event guiScreenChanged for <PlayerEntity 0x9560fa0>{"Werewolf (Civilian)"}: NSInvalidArgumentException : GSMutableArray(instance) does not recognize doEvent:withArguments:
[exception]: ***** Exception while performing script event guiScreenChanged for <PlayerEntity 0x9560fa0>{"Werewolf (Civilian)"}: NSInvalidArgumentException : GSMutableArray(instance) does not recognize doEvent:withArguments:
[exception]: ***** Exception while performing script event guiScreenChanged for <PlayerEntity 0x9560fa0>{"Werewolf (Civilian)"}: NSInvalidArgumentException : GSMutableArray(instance) does not recognize doEvent:withArguments:"

i took out the extra comma, shift-loaded, same thing but a slightly different log :
"[exception]: ***** Exception while performing script event guiScreenChanged for <PlayerEntity 0x9719750>{"Werewolf (Civilian)"}: NSInvalidArgumentException : GSMutableArray(instance) does not recognize doEvent:withArguments:"

fraid i don't have the faintest about this, it's like its trying to run the switch script but it shouldn't be at that point :-/

edit, nope just realised : those messages are from when i press the F3 key, whatever the CTD is, it's not getting written to the log.

edit mark 2 : just noticed there's entries in my Event Viewer, mean nowt to me tho :

"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( oolite ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 2010-06-08 18:56:45.078 oolite[3064] File NSUserDefaults.m: 626. In [NSUserDefaults +standardUserDefaults] Improper installation: No language locale found
."

edit mark 3, lol (sorry) : i /'d out the script entry in the shipdata and it works fine.

The current version has a revised equipment.plist for missing ;'s (another job of Windows vs Mac) - that was pointed out to me by a certain Mac using Supreme Grand Admiral...

Hi Killer Wolf, sorry for being thick, but what did you do to the shipdata.plist that fixed the CTD on 1.73?

Killer Wolf · Post by **Killer Wolf** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 7:36 pm

just removed (commented out, you put a "/" at the start of the line) the "script" item - this assign a specific script to a specific ship.

This is a memory management bug in Oolite. You say it was no problem in trunk but, to be extra sure, please try again to recreate it in a nightly (with exactly the same OXPs and so on).

Killer Wolf · Post by **Killer Wolf** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:22 am

will do. before i start shifting everything around, do i have to take out any mismatched OXPs or can i just rename the folders to drop the extension so the game doesn't recognise them?

Post by **Kaks** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 1:42 pm

Renaming them so they don't end with .oxp will work fine, I've got a number of .ox-p folders on my pc!

right then.
my machine w/ the knackered vid card. basic operation was to shift-load (even tho not really needed), load up a save and buy a WW from the shipyards. machine is a 3gig P4 w/ 2gig mem.

load, buy WW, F8, CtD - nothing in log
load, buy, F6 ok, F5 CtD log: "[exception]: ***** Exception while performing script event guiScreenChanged for <PlayerEntity 0x9588e30>{"Werewolf (Civilian)"}: NSInvalidArgumentException : OOColor(instance) does not recognize doEvent:withArguments:"

load, buy, F1, CtD, nothing in log.

trunk, v3078, OXPs aligned w/ normal Oolite
load, buy, f8,f7,f3,f3, buy energy bomb, f1, no crashes at all.

fired up my new machine, Quadcore w/ 4gigRAM (only XP 32bit so i believe it doesn't address it all). different set of OXPs tothe other machine, but both sets (normal/trunk) aligned for the test.

load, buy, f7, f8 CtD. log : "[exception]: ***** Exception while performing script event guiScreenChanged for <PlayerEntity 0x64c6070>{"Werewolf"}: NSInvalidArgumentException : OOColor(instance) does not recognize doEvent:withArguments:
