Is this a bug or is it me!

I'm running 1.742

I get these 2 lines repeated over 3000 times in both previous and latest logs:-

[script.javaScript.warning.ooliteDefinedError]: ----- JavaScript warning (Fuel Collector 0.06): Ship.hasEquipment("EQ_FRAME_FUEL_COLLECTOR") is deprecated, use ship.equipmentStatus("EQ_FRAME_FUEL_COLLECTOR") == "EQUIPMENT_OK" instead.

[script.javaScript.warning.ooliteDefinedError]: ----- JavaScript warning (Fuel Collector 0.06): Ship.hasEquipment("EQ_FUEL_SCOOPS") is deprecated, use ship.equipmentStatus("EQ_FUEL_SCOOPS") == "EQUIPMENT_OK" instead.

Just warnings. The game takes action and uses the correct methods so there is no actual harm done, but gives notification that the methods used in the script will be no longer supported.

I tried a quick search for the post where this was explained by someone who knows what they're talking about, but came up empty. But anyway: If you want to rid yourself of all those deprecation warnings, put a logcontrol.plist in your AddOns folder with the following content

Code: Select all

{ 
    script.javaScript.warning.ooliteDefinedError = no; 
}

Better get rig of it by updating the oxp, as in 1.75 it will just stop working.

True. But unless I've completely misunderstood the concept, deprecation warnings are really only useful to the OXP makers, since it just warns that it will stop working in the next version. For the regular player, not having the log cluttered with warnings-that-look-like-errors-but-really-isn't should be a Good Thing.

They told me in advance which of the OXPs I use would need to be updated for v1.75. They are useful.

Bump

So is it me then, what should I do?

Like another_commander said already: as long as you're using 1.74.2, just ignore them.

If the warnings annoy you, you can de-install the OXP.

Or you just follow the instructions. The warning itself tells you exactly what to do. It's a plain English sentence, complete with punctuation:

"'X' is deprecated, use 'Y' instead."

[script.javaScript.warning.ooliteDefinedError]: ----- JavaScript warning (Fuel Collector 0.06): Ship.hasEquipment("EQ_FRAME_FUEL_COLLECTOR") is deprecated, use ship.equipmentStatus("EQ_FRAME_FUEL_COLLECTOR") == "EQUIPMENT_OK" instead.

Open the script whose name is given in blue,

search for all instances of the string printed in red,

and replace each one of them with the string printed in green.

Thanks for the step by step instructions, that's a big help.
