Bandersnatch oxp error

[Ark]

I am receiving the following error from bandersnatch oxp (a very nice capital pirate ship)

Code: Select all

[ship.sanityCheck.failed]: Ship <ShipEntity 0x3f21048>{"Bandersnatch" ID: 0 position: (0, 0, 0) scanClass: CLASS_NOT_SET status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT} generated with missing subentity wing!

oolite version 1.72

There seems to be a subentity missing. Anything else in the log (above that snippet, e.g. during the setup of Oolite)?

EDIT: Hmm. No errors here. Ship is created, has its wings, and behaves like a pirate.

BTW: Interesting concept, a ship with a plasma turret as its only weapon. But as the only turret is mounted at the stern, it is completely defenseless to attacks from its front side.

EDIT2: No, I was wrong. The ship has forward facing lasers (four of them!), but for some reason is slow to use them (which was probably the problem Flying_Circus had with them). The whole thing could be made more fun to fight by making it frangible, IMO.

Yep !!!!!

Code: Select all

[shipData.load.begin]: Loading ship data...
[shipData.load.error]: ***** ERROR: the shipdata.plist entry "griff_spacebar_subent_template" specifies no model, ignoring.
[shipData.load.error]: ***** ERROR: the shipdata.plist entry "wing" specifies no roles, ignoring.

The first error from what i can understand is from random hits ver 1.2 the second one must be from Bandersnatch oxp

Yes, especially as the other error complains about the missing subentity 'wing'.

But it's strange. In my version of bandersnatch.oxp the wing-subentity has a role. Could your version be even older than mine?

EDIT: Yes, there is a problem with the version you probably downloaded from Oosat1. The entry of the 'wing' is corrupt, presumably through a c&p-error by Flying_Circus. Perhaps I corrected it on my computer when I tested the OXP out? Don't remember.

Please open the shipdata.plist within the OXP (any text editor will do). Somewhere you will find the following lines:

Code: Select all

		<key>smooth</key>
		<key>forward_weapon_type</key>
		<string>WEAPON_PULSE_LASER</string>
        <key>laser_color</key>
        <string>orangeColor</string>
        <key>roles</key>
        <string>bandersnatch_wing</string>
        <key>thrust</key>
        <real>5</real>
        <key>weapon_energy</key>
        <real>5</real>
		<key>weapon_position_forward</key>
		<string>0.0 31.74 -1.7</string>
		<true/>

The problem is that the <true/> in the last line doesn't belong there. It belongs in the second line, right after the <key>smooth</key>. Cut and paste it over there, so that the complete block looks like this:

Code: Select all

		<key>smooth</key>
		<true/>
		<key>forward_weapon_type</key>
		<string>WEAPON_PULSE_LASER</string>
        <key>laser_color</key>
        <string>orangeColor</string>
        <key>roles</key>
        <string>bandersnatch_wing</string>
        <key>thrust</key>
        <real>5</real>
        <key>weapon_energy</key>
        <real>5</real>
		<key>weapon_position_forward</key>
		<string>0.0 31.74 -1.7</string>

Save, and restart Oolite (don't forget to press SHIFT while restarting). Now the Bandersnatch should work as expected.

There is no version number in the readme.txt so i can not be sure.
I will download it again from the wiki just to be sure

Edit: Thanks but this will correct the problem only in my hard disk
What about new oolite players

This is a known bug in the ship registry validation in 1.72, already fixed for 1.72.1 and 1.73.
