Military Fiasco oxp Crashing My Computer, but no Errors

[mandoman]

What the title says. My computer has crashed twice while playing this mission, only the Last Log doesn't reflect any Errors, at least not any that I can see. Maybe someone else can? When I come out of the system Space Station, the action is jerky, hesitant, what ever, it doesn't control correctly, but as soon as I make my jump through Witchspace it all works normally in the next system. Here is what the Last Log said after the last crash:

It's not an error - but do you need the Medusa Test Spawning script?

It's not an error - but do you need the Medusa Test Spawning script?

I was wondering what all that was about the Medusa. I guess I do need it. Is it in a particular oxp? I put it into a search on the Wiki, but didn't turn anything up.

[Mauiby de Fug]

'Tis for the Nuit station, I believe. I can't remember what it actually does.

'Tis for the Nuit station, I believe. I can't remember what it actually does.

Maybe I should dump the Nuit Station to see what happens. It's too bad if that's the problem, as that is a really cool looking station to have around.

[Mauiby de Fug]

Okay, the script spawns a Nuit station on launch from a station, so I'd guess that it's the reason for what sounds like a low frame rate on launching from a station, but being fine on exiting witchspace. Removing it might well solve that particular problem. I'd be surprised it it's causing the crashes, though...

[mandoman]

I removed the Nuit oxp from AddOns, and that settled the problem. Too bad, but it's better NOT to crash, than to have eye candy.

You could PM the OXP creator - fixing the problem, whatever it turns out to be, helps you, the OXP writer and the Community at large...

[Commander McLane]

I thought Killer Wolf had perhaps already fixed this.

No released OXP ever should contain any test script that spawns something on each launch from a station. It's a test script that is only needed for OXP developers who for some reason or another don't use the JS console. It's a tool. You don't deliver a car (or any technical appliance) to your customer with your tools still attached to it. It makes no sense.

Fortunately it's easy to fix: simply delete the script from the OXP. It may either be called "script.plist" or "script.js" and is located in the "Config"-folder of the OXP. Then you can continue to use the OXP.

If the script isn't meant to be a pure test script, but the Nuit stations are actually supposed to be spawned as additional stations in every system, then it's a buggy script. I actually posted instructions on how to fix it in the Nuit thread months ago, and assumed that Killer Wolf had long done it. Probably he hasn't.

[Mauiby de Fug]

To be fair to KW, it is listed as a WIP, and always has been so. But yes, as far as I can tell, it's a "buggy" script; without it, I don't think they'll appear at all.
