Possible Glitch in Oolite 1.75.3.4574-Dev?

[Ironfist]

Hi Guys,
I have had this happen once. Fired a hard-head and the game exited with no additional information in either the debug console or log - did not seem worth reporting since I had no useful information. I will down load the tester OXP and add that bit of code to a world script in case it happens again. I was running R4603 at the time.

The problem is that we have no clue what might be happening. You are firing a plain hardhead as far as I understand. There must be something interfering with it. Or the missile, or the target. You might add the lines:

Code: Select all

this.shipFiredMissile = function (missile, target)
{
    log(this.name, "Player launched a "+missile.name+" at "+target.displayName+" with script: "+target.script.name);
}

to a worldScript. That logs the target name and its script. That might give a clue if its always a ship with a custom script.

Instead of modifying a test script yourself, you can also download this test oxp. It mainly intercepts various js handlers and logs info when they fire.

Did what you suggested, and managed to trigger the shutdown effect with missile launches. Wow, what a play-by-play. Here it is.

I see 4 fired missiles that were logged. The question remains: was it the last missile that induced the CTD or did it happen on a fifth missile that gave a CTD before a log-line was written. You probably remember it?

Yeah. I fired the killit missile right away upon locating the carrier (that's the only reason I have those money suckers). Then i went after the smaller, but deadlier battle ships. It had to be one of the Mini-missiles that triggered the shutdown, as nearly all the other times it has happened I haven't fired anything BUT the Mini-missiles. I carry those because I can carry 6 to 9 of the little buggers in a rack on my tiny Merlin. Maybe I should use those up and try a couple of the large hardened missiles? That wouldn't solve the problem, though.

Just as a thought I believe from a previous thread that you are flying a customised ship (mandomerlin.oxp). Perhaps the missile launch crash could be related to something odd in that shipdata. Maybe it would be worth you uploading the OXP (perhaps with a sample save game) to help others try and reproduce the crash?

How do I go about uploading the oxp?

How do I go about uploading the oxp?

You would need to upload to an online file sharing site and then provide a link here. Box.net comes highly recommended and is free.

I already have a free account there, but in order to upload a file the size of the mandomerlin oxp, I have to pay. Since I don't write oxps, I don't want to pay for something I'm not going to use. Is there another way?

Never mind, I figured it out. Here is the link.

Mandoman, how big is it? A single-ship OXP should be around 2-3 MB at the outside, un-zipped! Even the Staer9 chopped cobra, which has over 20 textures is only 9.6MB


Edit:- I've just had a look on box.net and I see what's going on now. There's a hell of a lot there! What are the 3d image files - are they really doing anything?

He has posted the individual files on box.net. Does this mean we need a "guide to posting oxp's to the net" to explain how to use a compression program to build a zip with the directories incorporated?

In case you didn't notice, I DID mention that it wasn't going to work at first to upload files to Box.net. That was because every time I tried, Box.net said I had to pay to upload files of that sort. So, I tried uploading each text file separate from the file folders in which they were contained, and as you have seen, it worked. Sorry if that doesn't suit, but I'm not paying extra for something I hardly ever use. As for the "hell of a lot there", well, you'll have to talk with Charles about that, since I'm not the one that originally wrote the oxp. I have this oxp due to the kindness of CommonSenseOTB, who responded to my question as to whether certain ships could be personalized, as in coloration. What you see on Box.net is simply the merlin.oxp slightly modified to accommodate my lame, but self satisfying, version of the texture. CommonSenseOTB showed me a way to have that version of the Merlin, without having any others of the same sort appearing in the game

No offense to anyone, but I'm beginning to regret having reported the problem, and to think it was really a game wide glitch. I obviously messed with something that causes a certain reaction, and I'm just going to live with it. Nobody else need worry about the problem, and I'm sorry for bringing it up.

[Smivs]

Sorry if I seemed a bit off, I didn't mean to. I've just never seen a ship OXP that big and I was interested in what all the bits do, that's all.
Most of it I can work out but some of those files just baffled me.
Doesn't really matter
No offence, I hope.

None taken. I'm more irritated with myself for not knowing, or realizing what I needed to do to upload that oxp. I guess being stupid gets to be kind of old after awhile.

[Ironfist]

mandoman,
Sorry if post seemed a bit negative - it was not meant to be. I have trouble posting icons for some reason - to add some idea of attitude. What I should have been saying was if someone has this problem - not sure it is a problem - should the community be providing more guidance to others on subjects like this. I could be that there are lots of people that could do with a bit more help.
Hope that sounded a bit more useful - now will go and get killed in a Thargoid battle.

I downloaded that 'oxp' and flew a bit with it. I don't think the ship has anything to do with it. It looks all pretty straightforward. And when launching missiles with TAF at 0.12 you see that the missile is starting already quite far from the ship. (I had Griffs missiles installed and they looked even bigger than the ship itself)
The missile launch position is a bit unusual at (0,-1,-1) I think its to far behind the ship. Better would be (0,-1, 0) I think. The coordinates are actually inside the ship, but Oolite will add them further away (as you see with TAF = 0.12), taking both the size of the missile and the ship into account.
