ERROR: cannot make vector [identified]

[CheeseRedux]

It seems like poking into the logs is a popular activity these days, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon...

Lately, my logs are chock full of these kind of messages:

Code: Select all

[strings.conversion.vector]: ***** ERROR: cannot make vector from '0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 1.0': could not scan a float value.
[strings.conversion.vector]: ***** ERROR: cannot make vector from '0.3, 0.3, 0.33, 1.0': could not scan a float value.

They appear in groups of varying size, from just 1 line to 80 in a row.

I'm fairly certain it's OXP related; I've tested with an empty AddOns folder, and there was nothing there. So before I engage in a major investigation, does anyone recognize this?

1.74.2, WinXP

[Mauiby de Fug]

I got a bunch of these a while back, when I was downloading a whole host of various shipsets. I think it was shady_sungs ships, although I haven't actually tested this and may be remembering wrongly...

[Eric Walch]

I think the answer is here. The values look like a colour definition in a shipdata. No idea which oxp though.

But a google scann for: "could not scan a float value site:https://bb.oolite.space/" gave some more links at this forum that I didn't all read.

Just tested with nothing but Shady Sungs in AddOn Folder:

I think we have a winner.

[Mauiby de Fug]

That would explain why I left it in my oxp "to do" folder, rather than in my AddOns folder!

I clearly hadn't got around to identifying the problem and being organised enough to post about it, as I was busy making sure that all the other oxps worked and trying to find out why Oolite kept on crashing on me! And since then I've been playing around with missions, rather than adding more ships...

[CheeseRedux]

I don't have a 'to do' folder myself. I do have a 'screw this' folder, however...

Anyway, after Eric's gentle prodding, I dug deeper into the depths of the BB.
Several OXPs have had this problem over the years.
The problem is errant commas. Remove the commas, remove the problem.

[Mauiby de Fug]

I don't have a 'to do' folder myself. I do have a 'screw this' folder, however...

They're the same thing, in my case. I'll download them, often a bunch at a time, and how brave I'm feeling dictates how many I load at the same time. Sometimes I'll do it carefully, one at a time; others I'll move a whole bunch of them in and hope for the best. If I have issues with some of them, I'll move them back out of the the AddOns folder until I can be bothered to deal with them properly.

The problem is errant commas. Remove the commas, remove the problem.

Good to know! At some point when I've got the time and energy, I'll have a look through and sort them out!

[ADCK]

I am no longer developing Oxp's, if someone wants to update the plists please do so.

Done.
