Following some updates to models used in Asteroid Storm I've uploaded a version 1.2 to resolve any potential clashes.

I can't replicate the crashes to desktop people are having - not sure if it's still shaders or if it's something else. I'll be ready to apply a fix once we know what the problem is!

If people have a crash, what sort of info/logs do you need in order to help fix it?

Not always, if it's a bad crash, you don't see anything helpful. But it's always helpful to have at least a look at the log.

Sometimes, and it might be the case with this one, the bug is due to some obscure-ish platforms differences...

My log from the crash is http://pastebin.com/m449a57a7, and no, it doesn't mention anything that I saw as potentially helpful.

I was crashing using the Feudal 1.1, downloaded 1.2 last night - was able to land and accept a Feudal mission , but when I attempt to exit from hypers space at Digebiti I get this

I am not a coder so have no idea what this means! i uninstalled the OXP and i could enter the system ok - reijnstalled it and it crashed again

I've now installed the 1.74 trunk build on the Windows half of my mac and it looks I get the same crash to desktop with the Feudal States as others. Unfortuantely I can't seem to get hold of the error log - the one that's saved in the Oolite folder doesn't update after the crash and the Windows event viewer is refusing to give me details of the error.

Has anyone else managed to get the OXP running on Windows?

regarding the above shader error, it looks a lot like the 'spaces after the \ in the macro' error , have a look at page 11 of this thread (there's a bit more on page 14 too) for info on what to check in the fragment shader to see if it is indeed this bug/syntax error

i don;t know anything about coding - i wouldn't know the first thing about checking the fragment shader!! i don;t even have the software to do so

Notepad would do...

I would recommend that you DON'T use Notepad! Cos it can bugger things up.

Recommend you search out Notepad++ ....

Well, notepad and eventual file-extention renaming...

It's not just that. It inserts hidden characters everywhere, buggering up the .plist files so that Oolite cannot read them.

See this thread: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t= ... ht=notepad

It would appear that "Word Wrap" is the likely cause - adding invisible, but oolite corrupting data to the text.

As others have said, use either notepad++ or even wordpad seems fine.

Yupp. pmed you the details... - and have had a challenge .-)

Yupp. Notepad adds the hidden characters not consistently, so it's a question of luck.

It can't handle unicode characters, plus some ASCII.

For handling UTF-8 characters, make sure that the plist file that contains such characters is saved as UTF-8. I had a fair amount of problems once with displaying characters beyond the normal ASCII range for ship names, only to find out that the shipdata.plist I had been using was saved as DOS format.
