Galaxy 4 missions problems - spoilers, careful ...

[Lestradae]

Hi,

hm, two problems with two missions.

On one mission, I am searching for a ship prototype I found out is termed the Al***b which should have jumped to Ontisoge or somesuch by forced misjump. Now I`m at this system, but no sign of the Al***b ship. So I tried to force a misjump from Ontisoge to some other world myself, which made Oolite loop with those lines repeated over and over in the stderr report:

On a second mission, I am supposed to find a "Romano Valrisian" in a "funny Asp". I have found a system where he according to the F7 screen "has come through hours ago". I found spoilers in the forum saying that he was on his way to sun and/or witchpoint - have been travelling back and forth three times those lanes, but no funny Asp

If someone knows about the witchspace crash or can help me with the two missions, it`d be most helpful as I`m really stuck there and curious how it all pans out ...

I saw something similar here

Hi, Lestradae,

your problem may be due to a bug in System_Redux.oxp. Whenever you misjump, the program will get caught in the loop you saw and freeze.

Try to remove System_Redux from your AddOns before you misjump. You can add it again later with no problem.

Going back over the thread (posted above) it seems the issue might be when a planet (and in my case a navigation bouy) are somehow created in interstellar space.

It is certainly suggested at the end of the thread that two of the clever dev guys found the problem and fought over who could commit the fix to svn first.

Hi McLane & Scoopy,

I will try to take System Redux out & report back if it worked ...

Not a lot of RL time for Oolite atm, sadly

Cheers
