Problem with Famous Planets OXP "requirements property

Post by Toran »

Just tried installing the Famous Planets OXP v1.1 pack. Followed the instructions carefully, but got the following error message:

(nil) 'Famous_Planets_v1.1.oxp' requirements property list could not be parsed

Had a thorough search of the forum and found another poster who had the same problem but couldn't find the resolution. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm running Oolite 1.65 on XP. Would installing a more recent build help?

Any idea whether it's better to install it under Ubuntu?

It’s a bug in 1.65. What it’s supposed to say is “‘Famous_Planets_v1.1.oxp’ is not compatible with Oolite 1.65”, because Famous Planets requires Oolite test release 1.71 or later. You can get test release 1.72 here.

Yep, that sorted it. Thanks.

For anyone else who has this problem, I was given more advice in this thread.
