Thanks guys for reporting and confirm that the file is not on my Box.com. Will look into it. Probably have to startup my PC to search for a zipped version of the original file and re-upload it.

It's a TINY bit of a pig, with all those giant textures, at around 15M, but here's a copy I had sitting around: https://www.box.com/s/koz8uqujcb8e9dq1hnk8

Thanks Dizzy and fronclynne. I uploaded the thing on my box too.
And updated the wiki and the first post.

Now have fun again with the Orisis.

I just noticed a Gecko attacking a Orisis class cruiser. The Orisis launched several defenders against the Gecko. Later on two police ships added the crew. From a big ship, you would expect to not interfere with the battle himself, but let the defenders do the job. Than the funny part happened: The captain of the cruiser apparently had followed a sniper training:

More a behaviour someone would expect with the Gecko.

Glad those captains don't sit back but actually 'do' something

I love seeing these huge ships in my ooniverse but have noticed the following in my load up log. I don't know if it is important or not.

12:26:29.951 [ship.missileLaunch.invalidPosition]: ***** ERROR: The missile_launch_position defines a position (0, 0, 0) behind the <ShipEntity 0x19bfb528>{"Orisis class Ferry" position: (-4993.3, -5681.32, 66199.4) scanClass: CLASS_NEUTRAL status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT}.

Once again , probably irrelevant as I never have fired a Missile at an Orisis and nor imagine that I shall.

Incidentally the Cool emoticons in the report are not really cool emoticons rather they are an 8 and close bracket but hey, that's forum translators I suppose.

Hi Duggan.

Using the <code>...</code> tags (using square brackets of course) when inserting code or log entries resolves the issue with your smiley faces. Also, you can disable smilies for a single post.

(Hmm: phpBB needs a [noparse]...[/noparse] tag). Would make giving advice like this much easier.

The [icode][/icode] tags may be what you are looking for?

I tried that and it didn't work.
I see now that it does, so I must have made a mistake with the tags somehow.

(But something strange is going on. When I quote you the iCode tag in your post acts strange.)

[icode][/icode]

Just on my computer?

Having icode tags within other icode tags get a bit weird, as it seems that the two pairs get a bit mixed up (you can see in my original post that the formatting of the two tags displayed is slightly different too). It's probably a glitch in the underlying phpbb code, but it generally works well enough to get the job done (as you wouldn't normally be embedding icode tags within other icode tags anyway except for the example above).

For normal usage they work quite well for non-parsed text, albeit sometimes the format difference can be unwanted as it makes the text stand out, but it's the price paid.

The "disable smilies" and "disable BBCode" checkboxes below the post entry window might be helpful here. Less so if you want them for some bits and not others, obviously.

As far as I know, these errors refer to missiles fired by the Orisis, not at it. I'm curious how many missiles tend to be carried by ferries these days, though ... I suppose that as soon as work starts on the planned Navy frigate version mentioned on the first page, this will definitely need to be addressed.

Thank you for reporting. Looking in the ship data.plist I see that the Orisis currently has some weapons. A front beam laser. ( I probably keep it that way as it is the last line of defense. And 4 missiles. I will probably release an update with no missiles. But you can do it yourself too by just editing the .plist.

Posted: **Tue Nov 05, 2013 10:13 pm**

There's no need to remove the missiles. You only need to fix their launch position.
