BGS - The BackgroundSet

[Scoria]

Sorry I don't know if this is the place to ask but is the custom docking animation supposed to work with the Rock Hermits?
I thought it probably is but it doesn't appear to work with mine. Works fine for the stations though.

It can easily be made to work with rock hermits - see here.

[Scoria]

Hmm didn't work. However it is extremely likely I did it wrong. My understanding was that I should open the shipdata.plist and edit it so it reads

Code: Select all

"rock-hermit" =
	{
		ai_type = "rockHermitAI.plist";
		cargo_type = "CARGO_NOT_CARGO";
		energy_recharge_rate = 5;
		"equipment_price_factor" = 4.5;
		"equivalent_tech_level" = 1;
		forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_NONE";
		frangible = 0;
		has_ecm = yes;
		has_escape_pod = no;
		has_scoop = no;
		"max_defense_ships" = 2;
		max_energy = 1000;
		max_flight_pitch = 8;
		max_flight_roll = 8;
		max_flight_speed = 0;
		"max_scavengers" = 1;
		missiles = 0;
		model = "new-rock.dat";
		name = "Rock Hermit";
		requires_docking_clearance = no;
		roles = "rockhermit station";
		tunnel_corners = 6;
		tunnel_start_angle = 0;
		tunnel_aspect_ratio = 1;
		scan_class = "CLASS_ROCK";
		smooth = yes;
      script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "1.0";};

Was I correct in assuming that or have I done something terribly wrong?

[Cody]

Did you hold shift down 'til the spinning Cobra appears when restarting Oolite?

[Scoria]

Yes. Might be the text editor I'm using? Or maybe the way I edited in the line. I started on a new line and added spacekey strokes until it was even... didn't feel like the right way to do it but I couldn't figure out an alternative in Wordpad.

[Cody]

Yes. Might be the text editor I'm using? [ ... ] Wordpad.

Wordpad should be okay (it's Notepad that can be tricky). If you intend to do any amount of tweaking, I'd recommend Notepad++ - it's free and cool.

Looks good - should work.

Adding the line is the only required change and if you are holding the shift-key while starting Oolite it should show the effect on hermits which are using the declaration you've posted. The only thing that can happen is that another OXP redefines the script_info for the "rock-hermit". Multiple script_info dictionaries in shipdata.plist and shipdata-overrides.plist across OXPs are not merged, they are overriding each other...

[Rorschachhamster]

Shouldn't it be

Code: Select all

script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "1.0"};
};

instead of

Code: Select all

script_info = {bgs_tunnel_shape = "1.0";};

?


EDIT: Or, wait? If it is really the latter, like in the example, there needs to be another

Code: Select all

};

at the end of the .plist. I'm a little confused right now

The posted code skips the rest of the "rock-hermit" declaration (subentities, ...), because it is not relevant for this question .-) It's really only one line we are interested in.

[Scoria]

Weird. Still hasn't worked. Can't think of any reason my other installed Oxps would be messing with the rock hermit shipdata. If it helps I'm using:

• Marketaide,
  Deep Horizon's
  -Systems
  -Lights Down
  -Nav buoy
  Griff's Shipset Replace + Resources
  Griff's Stations (Possible culprit but I didn't think this messed with Rock Hermits)

As well as BGS and the required Oxps for that of course. If it's too much of a hassle figuring out don't worry about it. I'm sure I can live with slightly different animations for Hermits.

Haha I'm not an idiot I know how to use the code tags.

[Cody]

Is that the correct log? It looks like a start-up log and it ain't showing any installed OXPs.

[another_commander]

Can you post the log that is produced after you've started Oolite with Shift held down? The log posted earlier is a First-Ever-Startup log of the game, coming from a completely virgin installation. No OXPs appear to be loaded. Do you have multiple versions of the game installed simultaneously?

[Scoria]

This is the correct log. I noticed that but didn't wanna say anything as this is the first time I've had a look at the log and didn't know if that was normal or not. However all OXPs are working perfectly.
