Re: Smivs' OXPs and Oolite v1.79 (1.8)
<Lightbulb dims ominously...>
Ok now this is weird. I have re-zipped as described. If the OXZ is installed manually from my computer it works. No warnings and it shows as manually installed. If I grab it from the wiki using the download link (with working counter ) and manually install it, it works again. If I try to instal it using the update manager, it wont install. The log is still throwing the 'no manifest.plist' error.
Ha, if I had any hair I'd be tearing it out by now!

Looks like you've not updated the download URL at http://addons.oolite.org/admin/ yet. The Wiki link points to http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/4/4 ... s_v1.1.oxz but the auto-download is still pointed at http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/f/f ... s_v1.1.oxz

Re: Smivs' OXPs and Oolite v1.79 (1.8)
Bingo!
I did wonder about that - I noticed that it had somehow changed itself. Is that because I uploaded several times and it changed with each upload? If so, that is worth knowing/remembering.
Anyway it seems to be OK now, so again, many thanks, cim.
@ Cody, not as many as I'd like

Re: Smivs' OXPs and Oolite v1.79 (1.8)
Conversion is now well underway
The list/s in the first post are being updated to reflect this, so check there (or in the Expansions Manager) for the latest available OXZs.

Yes, that's a good idea.Norby wrote:Now I updated the referred post to mention the random wiki folder names.Smivs wrote:I was following the instructions here so assumed that was right.
I think the best method so far seems to be to include a manifest.plist with a generic URL
Code: Select all
"download_url" = "http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/f/f3/***.oxz";
This 'correct' link URL can then be added to the manifest.plist and the OXZ re-uploaded, and the details for the Extension Manager can then be completed as you know the correct download URL.
This is probably a stupidly complicated way to do it, but it works for me!

You don't need to include "download_url" (or file_size) to the manifest.plist file in the oxz, it's only needed in the manager. So re-uploading for that is not needed.Smivs wrote:Yes, that's a good idea.Norby wrote:Now I updated the referred post to mention the random wiki folder names.Smivs wrote:I was following the instructions here so assumed that was right.

FWIW, I start by filling in the manifest in the manager leaving filesize and download url empty keeping the state at draft. Then I press the update manifest button and create the manifest file simply by copy pasting. Then I create the oxz and upload it to the wiki. Then I fill in the size and url to the manager, change the state to active and press the update manifest button. Seems to work.

Just a quick post to let you know the conversions are going well - see first post for my current OXZs.

Update:-
Following discussions here I have moved Giant Space Pizza into the 'needs work' catagory, to be sorted out and converted at a later date (when I've learnt a bit of stuff!).
The OXP will of course still work in 1.79/1.80, so pizza lovers can still enjoy them

It doesn't seem to be on your list in the first post, but Cloak Repair shouldn't be necessary in 1.79 - the way it's handled is slightly changed so even one acquired pre-1.77 should now be repairable.

Ah, OK. I did add it yesterday as I thought pre-v1.77 Cloaks were still un-repairable - I must have missed thatcim wrote:It doesn't seem to be on your list in the first post, but Cloak Repair shouldn't be necessary in 1.79 - the way it's handled is slightly changed so even one acquired pre-1.77 should now be repairable.
Never mind, it's only been downloaded four times so apologies to those four who will need to remove it via the manager - I'll delete it.
In other news, would anyone mind if I didn't bother update Jellybaby Dispenser? It is a tired old joke now, and has only been downloaded once in the last two months, so I feel it is time it gracefully faded away into history.

Re: Smivs' OXPs and Oolite v1.79 (1.8)
To complete the conversion, you might want to rethink the roles. Phaze would be a killer assassin (assassin-heavy) IMHO . And I would choose hunter-medium and pirate-medium-fighter rather than hunter and pirate. Also pirate-interceptor and pirate-aegis-raider roles would suit just fine.Smivs wrote:Teretrurus v2.0 converted.
