169.1 and oxp's - anything I need to clear?

Post by PsychotropicDog »

I am about to test this baby out, but I just want to know...

When swapping oxp's in and out of the AddOns folder, do I need to do anything else to make sure the game does not try to load ones I have taken out? I am figuring the 'hold shift during start up to reload cache' might do something.

It should notice by itself. If not, shift will work.

Oh good :D

problems so far...

I started it up, set up my joystick and went away for 10 minutes or so .. it dissappeared.

I started again, and it crashed as soon as I left the station. The last bit of my stderr.txt file:

Code: Select all

2007-07-15 10:54:32.000 oolite.exe[1136] [rendering.opengl.error]: OpenGL error: "invalid enumerant" (1280), context: Universe before doing anything

Since it seemed to run fine without any oxp's, and those PNG warnings are not in the stderr.txt, I guess that means some oxp's are not compatible with this version.

I will start dropping them in one by one and try to figure which ones are not compatible.

Since nobody's told me otherwise I'll put my test results here...

custsounds.oxp (minus the 'full of stars' ogg) no probs.

aegidian-special.oxp --- no probs

all-stars.oxp -->works fine, but gets a bunch of png warnings - removing for now.

more to come, need a short break.

edit-

For cheating testing purposes I gave myself some credits and got this message..
2007-07-15 11:53:55.000 oolite.exe[2804] [unclassified.PlayerEntity]: POSSIBLE CHEAT DETECTED
I will just go ahead and assume that is for anyone who wants to find out if they are a cheater and has no other effect.

aphidv2.oxp no probs

got a phantom message, old witchspace jump countdown message displayed. I've seen this before and it goes away soon enough ( I have a screenie if needed)

AsteroidStorm.oxp -->no probs

still getting a looping sound during witch fuel injectors

Also, the Advanced Navigatioinal Array works great!

edit2-
I should probably put this in it's own thread.

a-wing.oxp --> no probs

behemoth.oxp -no crash,

but this was different...

2007-07-15 13:23:50.000 oolite.exe[848] [entity.linkedList.verify.error]: Broken x_next <PlayerEntity Cobra Mark III 100> list (51) ***

b-wing.oxp
same as behemoth - I am assuming this is something I missed earlier, or

probably in the El Testo II pilot file...
does not appear with first pilot.


Cargo_wrecks_teaser.oxp - ok but...

2007-07-15 13:40:58.000 oolite.exe[1876] [script.debug.syntax.action.badSelector]: ***** PlayerEntity DOES NOT RESPOND TO scriptAction: "AddShips: piratestash 1"

removing Cargo_wrecks_teaser for now.

Travelling to somewhere with combat targetting so I can save pilot 1.( El Testo)

removed saved pilot 'El Testo II'

cobra35.oxp -->

the 'Broken x_next' is back, after saving over pilot 'El Testo'
will track but ignore

rediscovered why I hate notepad's wordwrap.

edit-
Commies.oxp --> no probs
Yes I went to a commie place.
Massive asteroid field drained FPS somewhat, but if I was really playing I would clear that!

Dictators v1.2.oxp --> no probs

edit

Diso.oxp --> fine

dwcobra3.oxp --> seems fine, think I fragged one, but lost energy to ecm (and went boom) before I could find one for sale.

eagle2.oxp -->seems fine
probably unrelated- ghost cargo that can not be targetted, shot or scooped, but shows up as white radar blips.

Executive Spaceways v2.1.oxp -->no probs
Star Seeker Personal Shuttle only one external view, but that is all that is in the shipdata.plist

edit

Falcon.oxp --> no prob

Firewasp.oxp (altered to remove extra chars at start of file)
ok

griffin2.oxp --> seems ok

Hmm. Dunno why it would be minus anything.

The texture warnings are unimportant – the “iCCP chunk” contains colour profile information Oolite ignores.

more to come, need a short break.

That’s a feature. Maybe it should be nastier about it, though. :-)

Sounds like an old recurring problem which for some reason seems to primarily affect Windows users.
PsychotropicDog wrote:

“Looping sound”?

This generally happens when you load a saved game. It’s not a problem.

That’s an OXP error; it should be “addShips:”, not “AddShips:”.

I manually removed the ogg in question because the tune is allready embedded in my brain, it is actually painful to hear it again.

ah, I believe that was afterburner2.ogg also in customsounds.oxp - I deleted that one as well, hope it worked. It sounded like the standeard 'afterburner2' mixed with the above music, kind of tacky when fuel injecting.

I altered the script.plist for it, about to make sure it works.

Thanks for the explanations!

If the 'ICCP chunk' png warnings are not NB, that means I have not found the culprit, and am only 1/4 ~ 1/3 of the way through my list. Back to work...

(fix for cargo wrecks worked - though I see a lot of treasuroids now)

hOopyCasino.oxp --> I finally landed in one, lost some credits. Something new...
2007-07-15 20:48:24.000 oolite.exe[3732] [entity.bug]: @/V called for non-ship entity <ShipEntity Docking Slit (Vertical) 0> by <SkyEntity 0xfcf0028>{197 position=(0, 0, 0) scanClass=CLASS_NO_DRAW status=STATUS_EFFECT}

temporarily removing.

impcourier2.oxp --> no errors

edit
seen an impcourier for sale.. not enough cash to buy one, should have cheated more.

Interceptor.oxp --> no prob in stderr

Kestrel.oxp seemed ok but...
2007-07-16 00:07:51.000 oolite.exe[2580] [script.debug.syntax.action.badSelector]: ***** PlayerEntity DOES NOT RESPOND TO scriptAction: "sendTargeCommsMessage: [wing-plea]" <supposed to be sendTarget

tracked down the typo to:
Kestrel.oxp/Config/shipdata.plist line 459 ( my text editor counts blank lines)
that got rid of the stderr message.


lambda -->no troubles

Lave.oxp --> no problems, lots of messages about adding moon.

longshot.oxp --> bought one and flew a bit, seemed ok but stderr

2007-07-16 01:13:47.000 oolite.exe[3988] [exception]: ***** Exception during during update:entity in [Universe update:] : NSInvalidArgumentException : SkyEntity(instance) does not recognize primaryTarget *****
2007-07-16 01:13:47.000 oolite.exe[3988] *** NSTimer ignoring exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException' (reason 'SkyEntity(instance) does not recognize primaryTarget') raised during posting of timer with target 0x1258d70 and selector 'performGameTick:'

guessing it may not be due to longshot, removing anyway.

also removing Lave to cut down on stderr messages.

This is probably safe. It’s avoiding a bug I’ve been trying to track down. Unfortunately, the message is garbled, so the actual message printing could cause a bug. I’d recommend adding entity.bug = "no" to logcontrol.plist. Probably not directly related to the OXP.

Merlin.oxp -->good

NavyStarships.oxp --> nothing in stderr

newships.oxp --> good

oldships.oxp -> I bought a salamander
I fired on a yellow offender, Falcon-s (not yet hostile) and he whined for help
I got tired of chasing him, then, a clean ship turned hostile and began shooting
(possibly a cobra)
Soon the machine hung (locked up) during combat with no stderr - first 'crash' since I started this experiment.

mis_launch.ogg was playing (the long one) - removing from custom sounds and retrying...
no problem

removing it anyway

Ore_processor.oxp
game hung on start up - rebooting

game hung on load character screen - incomplete stderr after CtrlAltDel

removing.
rebooting.

edit
outrider.oxp --> seems ok

military.oxp (military fiasco) seems ok
I probably should figure out where this happens, but I don't want to spoil my surprise.

pelamis.oxp -->ok

phoenix.oxp - bought a "'Sun' Ray", game locked up trying to equip it.
tracked it down to Commies.oxp/shipdata.plist (after<name>
line 1253 'Sun' Ray
suspecting something wrong with name, removed Commies and retry...

hung on hyperspace - reboot(forgot to) and retry...
bought a phoenix and shot some stuff -> no worries, leaving it in.

Your welcome. I'm almost in the homestretch.

Pirate_coves.oxp seems ok
found a pirates cove, shot some pirates, landed in the hermit.

ringpod.oxp
bought an aphid
aborted hyperspace, then went hyperspace - game hung
bunch of debug messages about spawning rings.
removing
rebooting

Saleza v2.oxp -->good

Shield-tail.oxp --> ok

spyhunter.oxp -> not that I can trigger this, but no stderr probs

sunskimmers.oxp ->hung on hyperspace, incomplete stderr.
removing.

also removing spyhunter for now

rebooting

edit

taranis.oxp hung on game start - no screen display, theme music playing - pressing 'y' does nothing. CtrlAltDel
- try again - killed Falcon-h (was target of cops, no identifier such as 'clean' or 'offender'), game hung on hyperspace
rebooting and retrying
hang on hyperspace to Qutiri
reboot - hang on hyperspace to Reinin
remove, also removing outrider, Cargo_wrecks
reboot

terrapin.oxp
game hung on start - saved terrapin-stderr.txt
last part of stderr:

2007-07-16 14:24:51.000 oolite.exe[3000] [script.load.world.listAll]: Loaded 22 world scripts: {...} "SalezaPatrol"

removing Saleza v2, Shield-tail
rebooting and retrying.
terrapin ok

thargoidcarrier.oxp
bought an aphid , hung in 2nd hyperspace jump (to Qutiri).
script "Test" added by script.plist.
I don't really trust this one.. removed
reboot...
If I get another hypersapce lock after buying an aphid, that will have to go

Thorgorn_Threat.oxp - hung on game start,; black screen and music
retrying...
hung on start no music.. rebooting and retrying...
worked.
removing anyway for now.

TIE.oxp --> no probs

removing AsteroidStorm.oxp , Dictators.oxp, Diso.oxp and Pirate_coves.oxp to reduce load.

tiger.oxp -> no troubles

transhab.oxp
(would do tori.oxp but do not know the 2 systems it gets located in)
nothing in stderr, after 5 jumps looking for a transhab station, I bought an aphid and..
drumroll..
game hung in hyperspace.
aphid removed..
reboot, retest, then retest taranis.oxp( put outrider back), thargoidcarrier.oxp, and probably a bunch more.

retesting...
taranis.oxp (and outrider) hung in witchjump - removing.
rebooting

retesting thargoidcarrier.oxp -> no stderrs, removing for now

transports.oxp --> nothing obvious

urutu_IV.oxp --> hung in witchspace. no stderr messages.
removing...
rebooting...

removing more oxp's with AI directories/ , in case that has anything to do with witchhanging. Will have to go back and retry more extensively.

behemoth.oxp
cobraclipper.oxp
Executive Spaceways v2.1.oxp
Falcon.oxp
Kestrel.oxp
marett_vol1.oxp
Merlin.oxp
military.oxp
NavyStarships.oxp
phoenix.oxp
transports.oxp


wolfmk2.oxp -->no probs

wolfwoods_variants.oxp --ok, but cobra Rapier, courier, and probably all these variants have a layer of the HUD in the center of screen - it slipped.

x-ships.oxp -->ok

xhips.oxp-->ok

X-Wing.oxp and y-wing.oxp --> ok

Next step - take the above list of AI folder/directory containing oxp's and see if one of them in particualr causes witchspace hangups.

gah!

removed terrapin, just because.

stuck in NavyStarships.oxp - game hung on character load up.

diverting to plan B - play mostly vanilla , see if it lasts a while.

edit
- played for an hour with a Jameson - 0 game crashes. Killed by ImpCourier :P
Based on that, I will assume some sort of problem with oxp's.

Back to plan A

murgh_Xships.oxp (doh! required for military fiasco) --> bought a bandybandy,

flew fine, no stderr messages.
note: xships and Murgh_Xships both have models named 'taipan'
took out xships - just in case

Your welcome - but I selfishly want to figure out which ones are working ok so I can actually play :D

safe list

aegidian-special.oxp
a-wing.oxp
b-wing.oxp
cobra35.oxp
custsounds.oxp ( modified )
dwcobra.oxp
eagle2.oxp ( modified )
Firewasp.oxp (modified ?)
griffin2.oxp
Impcourier2.oxp
Interceptor.oxp
lambda.oxp
murgh_Xships.oxp
(xships should be ok, but may conflict with above)
newships.oxp
pelamis.oxp
TIE.oxp
tiger.oxp
wolfmk2.oxp
wolfwoods_variants.oxp
x-ships.oxp
X-Wing.oxp

Note: None but marett have an AIs folder.
