Constrictor mission bug

SubV · Post by **SubV** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 10:28 pm

At some point, I was given a mission to find a stolen Constrictor. But due to some in-game or OXP bug, the exact 'last seen' location was not specified, showing '%036' instead of planet name.

Please help me to resolve this issue. Screenshot and start-up log included.

Hi SubV, and welcome to the “friendliest boards this side of Riedquat”.

I’m Level 1 Customer Support (which means I know virtually nothing).

Hopefully, one of the Minds will be along sometime soon to provide advice.
(They’re a bit like buses; you wait a while for one, then three come along together).

Meanwhile, the planet name you're looking for is Reesdice.

[Oolite Customer Support will only accept complaints if delivered by hand. We are based in the Ditere System, G3]

Thanks for the quick reply, anyway

I've just noticed that version of Oolite I'm currently using is 1.73.3...

Changes between Oolite 1.73.3 and Oolite 1.73.4:
* Fixed nova mission.
* Fixed missing planet name in Constrictor Hunt mission.

So I'll try to update to the v1.73.4.

Welcome aboard SubV.

Sorry for the inconvenience. You may blame me for that mistake. The message used to be correct but as external scripts can change system names since 1.73 the hardcoded name is replaced by a variable that should show the name as used on the galaxy map. 1.73.4 fixed this and a few other bugs.

All other messages in your log are oxp errors. None of them is critical but they do mean that some ships may not act as programmed by their author.

The circular reference are harmless now (they could crash older oolite versions though). However, those things should really be cleaned up by now

However, this line really worries me and I also have it and already did try to locate it but had no success:

THis does really mean that something is not happening as it should as somewhere functionality will be missing. Any ideas on how to locate it?

As far as the mission goes, the Constrictor has hightailed it out to Galaxy 2. Once you've updated to 1.73.4, get to chart 2 and have a poke around in the north-east quadrant. Check the F7 system info screens: you'll find some rumours circulating about a strange new ship ...

It happens when you add a script key in shipdata but are not adding a script name. It could be quite intentional and from galactic navy. Just to prevent it inherits a script from a like_ship to the behemoth it defined an empty script entry for some special behemoths. That way it even defaults back to the old legacy scripts when it contains them. With oolite 1.72 this did not write warnings. Better would be to define an empty dummy script.

Thank you, guys.

Last night I installed the latest version of Oolite and successfully completed the Constrictor mission.

Also, I fixed the Assassins script using instructions posted by Ahruman. It seems like most error messages were caused by this script:

Hi and welcome, SubV!

As far as Assassins is concerned, you may as well de-install it for the time being. It is a series of missions located in Galaxy 7, and does nothing at all outside Galaxy 7.

Not completely true: it does waist computing time for evaluating it has nothing to do.

(every 10 seconds a complete script evaluation, over and over again)
