Only if it gets found out by the owners. Anyhow, it'd cost them more to mail a cease and desist than to just ignore it.

P.S.: We know Felix! Aren't we a bunch of old farts?

Hi, A_H. I just found the time to have a closer look into the code you posted and I found that it's indeed quite buggy. So I wouldn't wonder why Oolite could refuse to run it.

I'm not at all sure I found all the bugs, but here are some:

Code: Select all

{ 
    "DEFENSE_MODE" = { 
        ATTACKED = (setTargetToPrimaryAggressor, increaseAlertLevel); 
        ENTER = (checkTargetLegalStatus); 
        EXIT = (); 
        "RED_ALERT" = (performGroupAttack); 
        "YELLOW_ALERT" = (performAttack); 
        "CONDITION_YELLOW" = (requestEscort); 
        "CONDITION_GREEN" = ("setStateTo: CHECK_FOR_DEBRIS"); 
        "INCOMING_MISSILE" = (fireECM, increaseAlertLevel); 
        "TARGET_OFFENDER" = (increaseAlertLevel, "targetCommsMessage: [police_warning]"); 
        "TARGET_FUGITIVE" = (increaseAlertLevel, "targetCommsMessage: [police_warning]"); 
        "ENERGY_FULL" = ("pauseAI: 1.0", "setStateTo: IDLE"); 
        "OFFENCE_COMMITTED" = (setTargetToFoundTarget, "markTargetForOffence: 150", increaseAlertLevel); 
        "TARGET_DESTROYED" = ("pauseAI: 1.0", "setStateTo: IDLE"); 
        "TARGET_LOST" = ("pauseAI: 1.0", "setStateTo: IDLE"); 
        "NO_TARGET" = ("pauseAI: 1.0", "setStateTo: IDLE"); 
        UPDATE = (); 
    }; 
    GLOBAL = {ENTER = ("setStateTo: IDLE"); EXIT = (); UPDATE = (); }; 
    IDLE = { 
        ATTACKED = (setTargetToPrimaryAggressor, increaseAlertLevel, "setStateTo: DEFENSE_MODE"); 
        "OFFENCE_COMMITTED" = (setTargetToFoundTarget, "markTargetForOffence: 150", increaseAlertLevel); 
        ENTER = ("pauseAI: 5.0"); 
        EXIT = (); 
        "INCOMING_MISSILE" = (fireECM, increaseAlertLevel); 
        UPDATE = (decreaseAlertLevel, "setStateTo: SCAN_FOR_SHIPS"); 
    }; 
    SCAN_FOR_SHIPS = { 
    ENTER = ("scanForShipsWithRole: player"); 
    UPDATE = (); 
    TARGET_FOUND = (setTargetToFoundTarget, "sendCommsMessageToTarget: [This station is out of order]", "pauseAI:5", "sendCommsMessageToTarget: [Some idiot managed to ram all four sides of the dock before the grapplingfield got a lock on him.]", "pauseAI:5.0", "sendCommsMessageToTarget: [Please follow beacon-1]", "pauseAI: 5.0", "setStateTo: IDLE"); 
    NOTHING_FOUND = ("pauseAI:10","setStateTo: IDLE"); 
    EXIT = (); 
    ATTACKED = (setTargetToPrimaryAggressor, increaseAlertLevel, "setStateTo: DEFENSE_MODE"); 
    "OFFENCE_COMMITTED" = (setTargetToFoundTarget, "markTargetForOffence: 150", increaseAlertLevel); 
    "INCOMING_MISSILE" = (fireECM, increaseAlertLevel); 
    }; 
}
In the SCAN_FOR_SHIPS-state the commsMessages have to be "sendTargetCommsMessage" instead of "sendCommsMessageToTarget". Also I'm not sure whether the pauseAI in the NOTHING_FOUND-part would need a blank behind the seperator.

Lots and lots of missing "/" in closing </string> and </array>. You have to check it line by line. And you don't need the quotationmarks in line 18. However I don't know if they can do harm.

There is also a typo. It should be "Hesperus is not aboard..." instead of "abourd".

Code: Select all

            } 
         ); 
      } 
   ) 
}
It's "greaterthan" or "morethan" or "lessthan". No capital "T" in the middle.

There have to be quotationmarks in the first condition.

No guarantee that I spotted all the bugs. But it might at least help you squashing some of them.

@McL:
sorry you have spent so much time squashing my bugs... it may have been in vain, as I already spent 3hours last night doing that same thing. :/

I haden't taken the time to copy paste current code, as I just spent a 12hour day in the lab... :beat: ...was messing with a model. and just about to goto bed.


I'll replace the code now. before more of you start mopping up messes that have already been mopped. ;)

not in vain! :D
My corrections are restricted mostly to the syntax, thanks for the other corrections.
(the super-faulty line in the stationAI / typo in the pod comms etc)
And you don't need the quotationmarks in line 18.
wellspotted!

not sure whether greaterthan and greaterThan matters, but it'll be just a matter of search/replacing. :)

The help is greatly appreciated.
:oops:

copypasted. time for a catnap.
@C.H: lol

Everything matters. *checks* …including this.

I have always used greaterThan lessThan etc.
...maybe why my scripts kept failing.

Wot dis mean?
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

blowing DP up does this CTD.

Code: Select all

<key>death_actions</key>
			<array>
				<string>decrement: mission_variable_hesperus_lives</string>

				<string>ejectItem: dubious-cargopod 5</string>
				<string>ejectItem: infected-cargopod 3</string>

probably it is the catinbox, dubiouscargo, infectedpod and dub-esc pod
As only the hatchling is spawned....
testing later gotta do errands.

Reckon so as EjectItem is not valid for anything except the player. Remember Roberto had endless problems with this? See this thread https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.ph ... &start=105
and particularly Judberts answer on the last page.

spawn: dubious-escape 1 should do it though.

Not sure what the code explanation for the paurchaute-deployed bit is, but it comes up when Oolite gets very upset about somthing! :wink:

That means Oolite crashed.

I’d quite like to see a test case OXP demonstrating the problem.

lol figured that... It didn't say anything else before crashing so I thought I'd ask.
too many trumbles in it still for a test_oxp even.
(The holes are bigger than the ship the story is built around.)

I'll test each part in itself then bring them together, if things still crash, I'll plead for some help.

Not before it is really neccesary though.
Don't want to spend my code-monkey time allotment on something frivolous as a messed up shiplist.
;)

My general view here is that it should not be possible for a bad plist or script to crash the game. Consistent crashes due to a given plist or script aren’t top priority, since they generally only affect OXP developers, but they should still be squished.

just had a fun bug:

My (defective) cargopods were replaced by ghostly copies of other ships, they could be targeted, but not shot.
before the pods were scanned, but invisible.
It was probably a combo with the 'Fullscreen' bug, as I somehow resized my screen, without losing textures.

edit: it seems the crashbug has gone...

but what is THIS about?

a normal commsmessage sent as a deathaction, no?
ah... C != c.

Just a mis-spelled method again: should be commsMessage (no capital C).
