That sounds strange. On a Windows system the latest (&previous) log can be found in C:\Oolite\oolite.app\Logs by default. I don't know the exact location on Mac/Linux, but it's something similar.lisbet wrote:For my log information- that folder is empty. That's why I assumed I needed to do something to get a log.
One sure way to see if the mission is still intact is browsing your save file with a text editor for the words:HUMPERS wrote:Is there a way of checking whether there's a bug with this mission.
I'm even prepared to remove the mission if possible (i'm sure it is) just to carry on with something else.
mission_ups_container and mission_ups_cplanet. They should be:
Code: Select all
mission_ups_container = "SEARCHING2";
mission_ups_cplanet = 212;
The two essential variables that make that a ship is added in 'Isoned' are there. So the ship must be added. However, this mission hits a change in 1.75 compared with 1.74HUMPERS wrote:Hi,
This is what I have for the saved log file:

If its ok then all I can do is remove it I suppose but if you tell me how this is done I would again be grateful.
Many thanks for your speedy responses.
Humpers.
Code: Select all
system.addShipsToRoute(this.python(), 1, null, "pw");null used to work in 1.74 in a way that Oolite replaced it with a random value. Since 1.75 it will be replaced with zero. That means that the ship is always placed at the start of the route. In this case near the planet as the route is defined as Planet -> Witchpoint.Code: Select all

I found the python closer to the planet than any reasonable ship should be- mass locked by the planet- on a roughly straight shot from the witch point.
Excellent! Question... would the pirates follow me into my mis-jumped wormhole?Eric Walch wrote:In 1.75 this is fixed, the player ship now creates a wormhole and I just tested it: normal pirates will just follow you when jumping to a nearby system.
And if not, why not? Is it possible to detect – perhaps even visually – between a normal wormhole and a misjumped one? Maybe a misjump hole could glow green?El Viejo wrote:Excellent! Question... would the pirates follow me into my mis-jumped wormhole?
I just tested this: The pirate followed me on a deliberate misjump. So at least I was not alone against the thargoidsEl Viejo wrote:Question... would the pirates follow me into my mis-jumped wormhole?
Even more excellent... thanks Eric.Eric Walch wrote:I just tested this: The pirate followed me on a deliberate misjump. So at least I was not alone against the thargoids
They don't always follow, only if they can reach the wormhole before it collapses. But yes, they don't care where the wormhole leads (perhaps they don't have wormhole scannersCheeseRedux wrote:So, does this means that they always follow their prey to wherever it may have gone off to? I would expect that some of the more survival-oriented of the miscreants would be wary of blindly blundering into what could easily be the very corporate system where the Police Force and the Navy are conducting training exercises right next to the Beacon.
). They want the prey which makes them a little blind to the possible consequences. Or they're just taking the risk. It works a treat... really neat.Eric Walch wrote:the player ship now creates a wormhole and I just tested it: normal pirates will just follow you when jumping to a nearby system.
However, they will leave their escorts behind in the process.Eric Walch wrote:the player ship now creates a wormhole and I just tested it: normal pirates will just follow you when jumping to a nearby system.
wormholeEscorts. I think it should be
Code: Select all
"PLAYER WITCHSPACE" = (
enterTargetWormhole,
wormholeEscorts
);
wormholeEscorts sends an ENTER WORMHOLE to the escorts. They do receive that while in normal escort mode (stage FLYING_ESCORT). However, during a fight the escorts have interceptAI, and there is no ENTER WORMHOLE message in that AI. It would at least be needed in the AI's ATTACK_SHIP state, and should probably also contain an exitAI, so that in the new system the escort is correctly re-attached to its mother.
