Missing component for OXPConfig?

[Ffoeg]

Could someone explain the following entry in my latest log file?

[OXPConfig]: OXPConfig - Shutting down. -> Cabal_Common_Functions missing.

Are Cabal Common Functions part of Oolite, OXPConfig or perhaps my computer?

I think that OXPConfig now requires the Cabal Common Library... but I'm not an expert.

Thanks El Viejo, such prompt service is beyond mere praise.
Don't know how I missed knowing about it but I did.
Thanks again

Oolite customer services are always pleased to assist, and happy to receive commendations.
We are also more than happy to receive any complaints… but only if delivered in person.

Our office address is: 42 Main Street, Metropolis, Ditere, The Prodigal Suns, Lara’tan (G3).

Yep, El Viejo is right - sent a courier with a bag of credits .-)
OXPConfig, Hyperradio and Snoopers are already using the Cabal Common Library, Vector will follow in the next time.

Without the library OXPConfig loses the motivation and wanders off for a cigarette and some whiskeys, so you can only meet it at the bar...
(hmm... probably one of the reasons for... a Furball!).

Hmm, I suppose the log message was still a bit too 'prgrammery'...

What about something like:

Code: Select all

[OXPConfig]: Shutting down - needed OXP not found. Please install the required Cabal Common Library OXP and restart Oolite.

Include the OXP name in the message itself, not just the message class. People are likely to filter them out mentally, and they can be turned off.
