Oolite Bulletins

Version 1.1.8 is now available. In this version:

• Added additional option to external menus to limit their display by station.
• Fixed issue where assassin escorts were displaying the incorrect ship type.
• Fixed issue where displaying the station model on the dock list would create a bogus station entry and empty the dock list for the current station.

Version 1.1.9 has just been released. In this version:

• Removed debug message.
• Added additional station-specific ship exclusions.
• Added protection against an "undefined" randomshipname being returned.
• Fixed methodology for processing escorts defined in the new format and with "[]" indiciating a specific ship key.
• Excluded ships from Convoys and Freighter Convoys OXP's from being added to a station during the population process.

Version 1.1.13 has been released. In this version:

• Excluded Behemoth's from having any traffic.
• Fixed method of determining whether a ship can fit in a station's dock. Function was returning true when actual result should have been false.

I think something somewhere wasn't updated with the 1.1.13 release.

The OXP manager tries to d/l Station Dock Control 1.1.12 and fails. I've updated the OXP list several times. Latest.log reports:

17:06:59.574 [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not have the same identifer and version as expected. This might be due to your manifests list being out of date - try updating it.

Thanks for the notification- I’ll get this fixed shortly.
And welcome to the boards, commander!

OK, this should be OK now. Let me know if you're still having download problems.

No problems now; after updating the list again it installed without a hitch.

Looks like there's a problem with the "launch before this ship" functionality in the latest version. Whenever I try this it gets stuck "establishing communications". Turns out that in the log there's this:

22:55:54.073 [StationDockControl]: !!NOTE: Search for free launch time hit limit - Coriolis Station (1) 10
22:55:54.073 [StationDockControl]: !!NOTE: Search for free launch time hit limit - Coriolis Station (1) 10
22:55:54.073 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (StationDockControl 1.1.14): TypeError: rng is undefined

Thanks for the report. Will check it out and release a patch shortly.

Version 1.1.15 has been released. In this version, apart from the bugfix for the item mentioned above by herodotus:

• Fixed bug that was preventing late station analysis from populating docking lists.
• Added dock version of ships from Laser Cannons OXP.
• Added dock version of ships from Military Shields Ships OXP.
• Excluded carriers (from the Carriers OXP) from being added to a station during the population process.
• Incorrect default zoom factor was being applied to ship models in the dock view.
• Adjusted the model size for some specific ships.

Something I have noted for some time now is that from time to time the station dock control MFD will show my ship listed twice.
It may just be coincidental but this generally seems to occur when there is a hold up of some kind with ships docking (could be just my imagination or pure coincidence).
Anyway I have a screen grab to show what I mean, hope this helps in some small way.

Cheers

That is curious! Thanks for the report - I'll dive in tomorrow and see what I can find.

OK, new version 1.1.17 is now available. Player ship should only ever appear once on the MFD now. Thanks again for the report.

Thank you phkb.
Thought I had better raise it as I wasn't sure if it was just a cosmetic anomaly or whether it was hindering docking.

Thanks again for the rapid response and fix

I think I've found an oxp compatibility issue between station dock control oxp and equipment by ship class.
It's a small thing but since using equipment by ship class, I have never been able to get any ship destination information from "Corolis Station Traffic Control" (I was getting a ship list - just no destination or option to launch before / after.
I was hoping to get a screen grab to illustrate what I mean but at present all i'm getting is this (the change to getting nothing at all seems to have occurred after installing new FICC oxp)
