Alas, I get this emblazoned across my start-up screen with the newest version...

The manifest.plist for "Loadout by Category" is missing the required "required_oolite_version" field. You are an evil sinner. Atone immediately. Sacrifice eight wheels of stilton! Pronounce 256 "Hail Giles"!

Golly! I must’ve got something really wrong to pull out that response! Try not to sacrifice anything until I’ve had a look at what’s happened.

OK, new version should eliminate the need for any sacrifices, offerings, or general quasi-religious shenanigans. Only requirement is to download the new version. Oh, and I guess an internet connection, because, if we're being picky, that is probably a requirement as well.

New version 1.3.2 is now available, which is probably more relevant to users running Oolite 1.90, as it fixes the ordering on the F5 screen (which had gotten messed up).

Not sure if anyone would be interested, but I've added the tool I use to recreate the loadout by category plist files to GitHub here: https://github.com/phkb/EquipmentReordering.

At the moment, the process of creating the (rather) large equipment-overrides.plist is an automatic process that depends on equipment items being part of an OXP that is on the expansion manager. If you can't download it from the Expansion Manager, then chances are it will end up in an non-ideal category.

I'll manually add the ones you've listed for the next version, but be aware, any other OXP's that aren't on the manager will be in the same position.

Actually, on my system it shows up in the "Armour" section. Not sure how it got into the targeting section on your setup.

Edit:
Actually, the same applies to IronHide. It's in "Armour", not "Targeting". If you're seeing it in "Targeting", that means something has gone wrong and the "Armour" heading has gone missing somewhere.

Пунк `Щиты` есть. Однако эти два пункта находятся в следующем по списку пункте `Прицеливание`.

The item “Shields” is there. However, these two items are in the next item in the list, `Aiming`. I use

Пункт `Броня` у меня отсутствует. Версия OOlite 1.9. И версии LoadoutByCategory_190 v1.3.3 и в версии LoadoutByCategory_190 v1.36 так же. В версии OOlite 1.91 то же самое, этого пункта нет.

I don't have the `Armor` item. OOlite version 1.9. And LoadoutByCategory_190 v1.3.3 and LoadoutByCategory_190 v1.36 are the same. In OOlite 1.91 version the same, this item is not present.

OK, that sounds like something has gone wrong with this:

Code: Select all

RUS_LoadoutByCategory_190 v1.3.3.oxz
Can you send me a copy of this to examine?
