In Notepad, I see the strange characters too:
Code: Select all
17:59:01.366 [strings.expand.warning.unknownPercentEscape]: ----- WARNING: Unknown escape code in string: %䐠. (To encode a % sign without this warning, use %% - but prefer "percent" in prose writing.)

That is how it appears in the log - at least in the editor SublimeText; when I next see the error I'll open the log in a different editor and see whether there is a difference in the characters.
So... Longinus famously wrote a treatise on the nature of the
sublime - and it became very important in the theory of art in the Georgian period (after Boileu translated it out of the original Greek into French). It was taken up by Edmund Burke amongst others (He defined the sublime as an artistic effect productive of the strongest emotion the mind is capable of feeling).
"The term especially refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement, or imitation" (Wikipedia).
It was often depicted as a mysterious murky darkness in the paintings of the day: see
https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/ma ... ath-n05613.
This is obviously why SublimeText only gives you the one glyph, wheras Notepad gives you a less sublime selection.

Perhaps this is the wrong place to post, and I am unsure who, if anyone, is maintaining the Repair Bots expansion pack, but just now I encountered the following.
Code: Select all
[script.javaScript.exception.notFunction]: ***** JavaScript exception (Repair System 2.13): TypeError: this.$startSelfRepairSystem is not a function
...
It's a typo on line 388 of repairBots_System.js. Change
Code: Select all
this.$startSelfRepairSystem("Resume");
to
Code: Select all
this.$startRepairSystem("Resume");

Thanks, cag. I appreciate the help. Applying the fix was fiddly but I've done it. Obviously it would be better were the maintainer of the expansion pack to incorporate the fix. Also, the 'unknownPercentEscape' error persists (And so seems unrelated to the other one.)

I'm not sure if RepairBots is the culprit for that error. I've just gone through the code and config files in it and it doesn't have any percent symbols in any of it output targets. What action are you performing when the messages appear? If you uninstall the OXP and do those same actions (assuming the actions are unrelated to RepairBots), do you get the same messages?
Edit: Small addendum - there is one percent symbol in the equipment.plist file.

Thanks for your work. I was not sure that the percent error was to do with Repair Bots. However, I removed Repair bots and then did some things - launched from main station, witchspaced a few times, flew around, when into interstellar space - and I did not see the percent error in my logs.
What do you mean by 'output targets', please?

But, ah: I've just flown around again - and witchspaced, but no time stuck in witchspace - and again I see the percentage errors.
I think that the OXP 'NavalGridNext'. which I installed recently, might be to blame. It has an equipment.plist file containing such things as:
"Remove Energy Grid for a refund of 40%."
The latest version of that OXP seems to by Dybal; I'll try to send Dybal a PM.

All the places where the OXP sends output of some sort to the player. For example
player.consoleMessage.

I only know about two of them:
consoleMessage() and logMessage() (where the latter is not really for the player)
Are there more?

The only other one that comes to mind is player.commsMessage which is the audio version of player.consoleMessage. There might be others but those would best be left to someone with more knowledge to explain.

Another one that goes below the radar most of the times is player.audioMessage("your message here"), which dispatches a spoken message.

What is this?
17/08/2022 - Version 2.14
"Also now available a new repair system, which gives full damage control for any ship not already featuring it."

Another thought.
Crewed ships
The larger ships have a crew (
eg Anaconda's have from 40-72 crew). The crew should be able to repair bits and bobs "automatically" in-flight with the captain/player merely needing to buy replacement parts when next docked.
