Strange things (AKA: where could I dit it wrong ?)

Post by saint »

Hello, I am experiencing some strange behaviour while using a custom OXP.

I took the TIE, changed the names and all to have a psychedelic rainbow tie. then added the missiles (TIE had missiles in Star Wars), removed the non player section (it is MY ship, with custom paint and a custom missile launcher).

What I experience is that I can't see my ship from outside (bad, but can live with it) and the program crashes due a Floating Point exception when the shields are depleted (not energy bank).

What could I have done wrong ? Could the crash be due the interaction with other OXPs ?

If I am not wrong all the crashes showed up after I met a rattle cutter...

Which version of Oolite are you on? (1.65, 1.72, ...)

You need to define outside views in shipdata.plist so that you get them! Have a look at the core game ships to see how its done.

My rather meagre 0.2 Cr

Any way to discover it from the program itself, since the .deb have no version tag ?

Try inserting this here into the shipdata.plist entry of your psychedelic TIE-fighter:

Yep! I could get a new paintwork for my TIE with a scan of the picture disk...
