Railgun not working?

[Chuffy]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen
I've just installed the railgun oxp and although I've bought said item (and ammo) nothing happens when I try and arm the wretched thing (Shift N). Most annoying.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've got a few oxps installed, but nothing bizarre or unusual.

Cheers,
Chuffy

Hi Chuffy, and welcome aboard... probably a daft suggestion, but have you cycled through the primable kit (ie held shift down and hit 'n' a few times)? That's if you have any other primable kit, of course... but try it, even if it's only the railgun, as the default can be Equipment primed: none.

The other thing to remember is that 'Shift-n' only selects the equipment. You then have to press 'n' to actually arm it.

G'day, Chuffy, and welcome!

Yep, as with all primeable equipment SHIFT-N will (only) select the equipment by rolling through all primeable equipment you have. Once you have selected the equipment you want to use, you have to actually use it (in case of the railgun 'using' means firing it) by pressing N without SHIFT.

That's how primeable equipment works.

Thanks for the welcome and replies chaps.

I've got the sniper sight installed, so I have some familiarity with priming equipment, but despite a sustained Shift+N, N keyboard bashing I just get the Equipment Primed: None message. Will try again this evening when I'm at home.

Have you held down shift while starting the game as this will clear the cache and let any new oxps activate.

!m!

This ain't needed for newly added (or removed) OXPs... only if something internal has been changed.

Well, Equipment Primed: None means what it says: you have currently not primed any equipment, and therefore also not the railgun. Continue to press SHIFT-N until you see the Equipment Primed: <type> Railgun. Then stop pressing SHIFT-N and press N instead for firing. You should not see any Equipment Primed: message again from this point on, and you should not press SHIFT-N anymore until you want to use another equipment.

[Chuffy]

Ok - the message I get is actually 'No equipment can be primed'. The railgun and ammo are definitely showing on my equipment list.

I also notice that I can buy 100 rounds of ammo every time I return to the station (after leaving and playing Shift/N roulette) even though I haven't fired a single one.

Baffled and outgunned....

[Cody]

'No equipment can be primed'.

I think you'd only see that message if either no primable kit is installed... or the primable kit is damaged.

Hmmm. Can't be damaged, it's still got packing peanuts clinging to the barrel. And it's definitely installed on account of it showing up on my equipment list.

Can you post your latest.log file please (should be in the logs folder under the oolite.app folder in your install directory). Preferrably between [code][/code] tags.

Will do my best.

Is this what you're after?
