Wrong float notation

[Screet]

Hi,

sadly, this time I don't know which oxp is the cause. Maybe the author can identify it by the values?

I copied the previous and next line, too...just in case that one of these has to do with the wrong number format (using both . and , for float). I'm afraid, though, that those other two lines don't have anything to do with it.

Code: Select all

[Fuel Collector]: Number of globes is 1
[strings.conversion.vector]: ***** ERROR cannot make vector from '0.0 -20, 22': could not scan a float value.
[shipRegistry.selection.profile]: Hit slow path in ship selection for role "trader", having selected ship "redback-trader". Now 60 of 334 on slow path (17.964072%).

EDIT: Found a "find in files" in Notepad++

[C:\Oolite\AddOns\neolite.oxp\Config\olddata.plist]
Line 25 : missile_launch_position = "0.0 -20, 22";
Line 50 : missile_launch_position = "0.0 -20, 22";
[C:\Oolite\AddOns\neolite.oxp\Config\shipdata.plist]
Line 144 : missile_launch_position = "0.0 -20, 22";
Line 185 : missile_launch_position = "0.0 -20, 22";

From the other vectors I've seen, it's a missing comma behind 0.0!

Indeed! Simon B should be told!

Sent a PM after editing that message above...

I'm really happy with those ships, they make the game not only look much better but also far more interesting as it's more difficult to shoot his ships down because of the slim models!

Good detective work, thanks - however, there should be no comma after the 20. (Commas denote the end of a row.)

The offending lines are in the anaconda entries of the shipdata.plist
They should read:

missile_launch_position = "0.0 -20.0 22.0";

I've mostly not worried about that vector since the missile is there very briefly - if you are close enough to notice the difference you're probably dead. Sometimes the launch position ends up in a wierd place - inside the model or a couple of model-distances away ... which can look odd. I've changed the one's I've noticed.

Anyone noticing funny-looking launches feel free to correct the effect and tell me about it.
