getting this message during start-up:

At other times, loading a new Jameson, with no OXP's installed, I can get as far as launching - but never as far as the nav. buoy - before Oolite quits. Usually it quits before Jameson launches, though.

You may want to mention that you drive a Mac, too..

[Kaks]

It would also help to know which OS version, and if it's a PPC or intel.

[Zbond-Zbond]

oh, yes -- it's a ppc & similar probs with earlier versions (of Oolite)

Not bothered, coz prbly just need upgraded hardware.

OS X, 10.3.9 (10.5 better, but reverted to 10.3 for iLife '06)

will get 10.6 soon, anyway, this just was just a quick report. (this particular 10.3.9 = non standard, anyway)

cheers

I see(another thread named pelamis) you modified the pelamis shipdata.plist entry.. you also need to hold down shift while starting up Oolite when modifying the OXP data. just as a safe precaution, did you do that ?. Oolite should update its cache though, if you have moved everything out of the OXP folder...

but just as a safe precaution, did you do that ?

Please don’t say that.

If the game fails to load with an obscure message, that’s a bug in the game. If a particular plist or script causes the game to crash, that’s a bug in the game. Every bug that has any sort of useful context should be reported. Working around it or shrugging it off makes it impossible for us to fix the game.

[Zbond-Zbond]

well, I'm not sure where to look to see why message appeared, but if any pointers offered I'll certainly look there to see.

however all versions post 1.65 I've attempted to load have done the same thing (seen 1 or 2 other comments re. game crashes to desktop @ launch elsewhere) but this is the 1st error message I've seen; message had Oolite icon included in it, if that's any help?

P.S.

hold down shift while starting up Oolite when modifying the OXP data. just as a safe precaution, did you do that ?

although I've never found any modifications I've made fail to manifest when starting game without SHIFT key depressed, yes: I did SHIFTstart game in all cases..

On windows they reside in

Oolite/Oolite.app/logs/latest.log

For mac i dont know, but should be similar, search the directory for latest.log

[JensAyton]

Since we have this question in two threads at the moment, I hereby declare it an FAQ:

Someone asked me for my log file. What is that, and where is it?

[Zbond-Zbond]

Logs in a mac are located in the LIBRARY folder

I looked there

This is a bit lengthy so I'll delete as much as possible

latest log last game was 1.65 which worked OK reads:
===== Display starts at offset 85976 within file of length 217048. ====

previous log previous game was 1.65 as well, but log might just be referring to crashes(?) and 1.65 has never crashed at start-up

I would mention that all versions of Oolite I've downloaded -- other than 1.65 -- have similarly crashed at launch from Lave as Commander Jameson, if not before.

With 1.73 the farthest I've got is to the Zaonce witchpoint buoy, today, in a newly purchased Adder.

The gigantic Cobra value (plus the 100Cr) has only appeared once.

There is a crash reporter in the logs folder (in the Library folder)

It gives a lengthy report, including the following:

OS Version: 10.3.9 (Build 7W98)
Report Version: 2

Command: Oolite
Path: /Applications/Oolite/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS/Oolite
Version: Oolite version 1.73.0.1 (1.73.0.1)
PID: 426
Thread: 0

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000021

[JensAyton]

Neither of those logs are from 1.65 – it didn’t write log files.

I’d be very interested in getting both the full Latest.log and the crash log (e-mail: ahruman squiggle oolite point org).

1.65 wrote everything to stderr.txt in

the oolite folder as far as i recall..

stderr.txt

my last crash in 1.65 generated the following, only incl the start..

yours should look similar if you are using 1.65

[JensAyton]

1.65 wrote everything to stderr.txt in

the oolite folder as far as i recall..

It varies by platform.

[Zbond-Zbond]

interested in getting both the full Latest.log and the crash log

This is what I will do:

1..remove 1.65 entirely

2..remove all OXP's entirely

3..install the 1.73.01 that I have here already downloaded

4..start up game & copy any crash reports (in full) viz Latest.log + Oolite.crash.log
