could not be parsed?

Post by Tripsky »

hey all,

i just found oolite, and it reawakened fond memories of playing elite on my c64 and really having no idea what was going on. i was only a youngin then

but now i'm a little older and am enjoying it immensely. the only problem i've come across is that some of the oxp's i've tried to install, namely randomhits.oxp, system_redux.oxp and missile analyser, don't work.

on the opening, spinning cobra screen, i get a message saying "requirements property list could not be parsed"

now, unless my computer is really lazy and 'parsed' is a typo, i have no idea what this means. which must show that i'm no programmer, either.

if anyone could help, i'd be very happy!

cheers!

did i mention i'm using a mac?

What version oolite are you using/
The newer OXPs do not work with v.1.65 stable release, only with the v.1.72 beta.

And, Tripsky, Welcome to The Friendliest Boards This Side of Riedquat!
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.
