I dont know of any conflicts in that set, but I would suggest that you dont insdtall any missions yet, apart from maybe asteroid storm and UPS.
Also, in my opinion the large ships dont work very well, so I would not install megaships or bigships. They shouldnt break the game, just in my experience they didnt feel right, and the AI did silly things (this might be fixed).
Some versions of ionics dont (or at least didnt) work properly on my setup.
I think you should remove them all, and add in a few at a time, checking the log file as you do so.
Also, I dont think you gave any info about the version of oolite, or your system.

As far as I know, Realistic Shipyards contains a version that works.
It should be possible (for someone with a lot more knowledge about these things than I) to pull it out from there and make it usable as a stand-alone.
(Or you could just install RS - it's all up to you!)

bigShips is a role populator for a new role of bigTrader, which is designed along with a packaged AI to stop the very problem you mention (big ships docking and launching from small docking slits). It's also to centralise the populator on one role, so that each OXP which provides big ships can use it rather than its own populator, thus lowering the risk of the system ending up knee-deep in large ships.Cmdr James wrote:Also, in my opinion the large ships dont work very well, so I would not install megaships or bigships.

It doesn't actually supply any ships of its own, but is used by certain other OXPs which do (Aquatics and Transports spring to mind immediately, but there are others). It won't break the game, but if no OXPs are installed which do provide such ships then it won't do anything either.

I'm on the latest version of Oolite (1.73.4) for windows, and my system's fineAlso, I dont think you gave any info about the version of oolite, or your system.
intel i5, asus/ati HD4870, 4gb ram, OS windows 7 64bit.
And yeah it's all working fine since getting rid of Bandersnatch, and I must admit, I like the larger ships, seeing some of the big groups of them with escorts is pretty cool.

I replaced the version of the bandersnatch.oxp at the wiki with a new version v1.1
It was a simple C&P error in shipdata. It should have been:for the wing, but some other text was inserted between those two lines leading to an incorrect plist.
On the mac this always result in not using that plist but on windows even bugy plists are read in and the system does something with it. Sometimes errors are forgiven and sometimes they lead to crashes.
Strange that such a bug stays that long unnoticed

<true/>

I also looked it up in RS but there it was fixed wrong because the key was completely removed, resulting in a false value. All other ship parts had smooth set at true and even this true was in the code but at the wrong place, so it always was mend to be true.CheeseRedux wrote:As far as I know, Realistic Shipyards contains a version that works.

Yeah, that's my fault.Eric Walch wrote:Strange that such a bug stays that long unnoticed
(Well, for the last two weeks or so, anyway.)
After finding the crash, I checked the readme and found 1) WIP and 2) unfamiliar author.
I had no time to investigate further right then, and subsequently forgot all about it until today.

I have no intention to fix old wip versions and I didn't know this one but when wip versions lead to crashes they should either be fixed or removed from the wiki. This one is wip for a very long time....This is a provisional look at the Bandersnatch. Pleae don't regard it as finished work, since its subunits forward guns are still giving me trouble.

No it works now. Pretty impressive ship. Just a pity that lasers only point exactly in the flight direction of the ship. When I removed the central laser, I noticed the 3 side lasers fired all around me but none did hit me. Maybe logic as a big ship expect big targets and my BCC is to small for him. However, that was when I removed the central laser. The normal one still hits me with its central laser and when trying to avoid that, I still get hit by the side lasers. The one in RS is modified and has turrets on its wings instead of lasers when I read that code well.Rxke wrote:
Don't get rid of the bandersnatch! it was rather revolutionary in design and skin when it was introduced! this is heritage!
