Do you meet all the requirements for the Nova mission? Granted, there's only one besides being in galaxy 4. :)

Hi Totsy,

welcome to the board, the friendliest one this side of Riedquat! :)

For the Nova mission you need a galactic hyperdrive fitted. Did you find the Wiki yet? There is a page about the missions which lists the prerequisites.

Hope that helps,
-Maik

Hi There

Can anyone please tell me why I have not encountered the Nova Mission...

I have a Galactic Hyperdrive fitted and I am currently in Galaxy 4

I also am running the latest Oolite version.

Can you load your save file into a text editor and search for the following text:

Code: Select all

<key>mission_nova</key>
And tell us what the line below says?

Hi There

Thanks for finding the time to reply...much appreciated ;0)

It doesn't exactly say what you wrote in your post...it says the following...

<key>mission_novacount</key>

and underneath that line it says...

<string>0</string>

Hi Totsy and welcome... just to check, is that Oolite 1.74.2?

Well I would say that it hasn't yet triggered the mission. What I would suggest is to forget about it for a while, and fly about doing cargo/passenger missions etc etc, and it should trigger soon.

Yeah, I seem to remember I'd been in G4 for ages (with the Galactic Hyperdrive) before I got the Nova Mission, so just wait...It'll happen.

I actually completed the Nova Mission in a very un-conventional way and remained in G4 for a while afterwards. :lol:

Oops! Obviously there is a bug in the current version of the nova script, which causes the mission never to trigger (the novacount will never get incremented).

I'll inform the scripter.

EDIT: After examining the script closer I found that there is indeed a bug, however it shouldn't affect the mission (if anything it should trigger sooner than expected).

@ Totsy: can you please confirm that you're still in Galaxy 4, make a jump to the next system, dock at the main station, save your game, and post the same lines as above (the value for mission_novacount) from that new save-game? Thanks! :)

Hi There

Just to confirm...this is version 1.74.2 (22 mb) for MacOSX 10.5.8

I will do the jump to another world, dock and relist those two lines ASAP

Hi There

I went to another planet and docked; I then saved the game so here are the two lines you asked for that are now in the text of saved oolite file...

<key>mission_novacount</key>
<string>1</string>

Hope that helps you to tell me what's happening!!!

Many Thanks
