Does not load on my Mac.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get around to this one (and thanks Josef for bring it to the foreground again).

Can you try this version: ETT_Homing_Beacon_1.03.oxz
If it loads successfully on your Mac without any log file warnings/errors, I'll call it fixed and upload it to the manager.

Umm....

Hiran's current version of his master-work stipulates the following:

Code: Select all

Name 			    Cost  	Tech-Level
Beacon Launcher 	     800 		11+
Beacon 			50,000 		100+
Beacon Missile 		     860 		13+

Having been reading the older threads it seems that the beacon itself is a redeployable "mine". Not too sure why the TL for the beacon is 100!

Hiran's current version of his master-work stipulates the following:

Yes, the extra equipment item is defined in the file, but the TechLevel of 99 (ie 100) means it will never to offered to the player by default. It usually means, if the item is designed to be used directly by the player, it will be added to the player via a script or some other logic. You also end up with these messages in the log file:

Code: Select all

17:24:01.977 [oxp-standards.deprecated]: TL99 is deprecated for EQ_BEACON_DEVICE

Thank you. Does that mean that the cost is irrelevant?

Pretty much.

Humph! Thank you... wiki page now corrected. I hope to try out your 1.03 later, and then will hopefully be able to fix the remaining peculiarities on the page. Thanks for your help.
