Oolite Bulletins

Okay… I’ve added that fix to every applicable Griff oxp in my addons folder (i.e. all his oxps that have a ‘player’ section). That eliminates nearly all of the error messages… it still leaves one or two, but that’s a lot better than reams of them.
I wonder if it’s my ATI graphics card.

It’s a bit puzzling though… 1.74 = no error messages, except when actually using the escape pod.
1.75 = error messages, with or without the escape pod. C’est la vie!

Yeah, at least they don't affect gameplay... they're just annoying in the log.
Something tells me I'll have to go through all 35 Griff oxps and add the fix to all of them... hey-ho!

I read you did fix them after all. The error is not bad, but does mean that the shader has no access to the alert level. In game I have not seen any strange things with those ships. I assume the affected ships just don't change color when in a raised alert state as they do in 1.74

Only player and stations can have an alert state. So the remaining might be in a station definition. And reading that it are only player ships, explains why I never saw anything strange: I never flew in them

Stations... I can't see any 'alert level' entries in any station plist... only in the 'player' sections of Griff's ships' plists.
I've had no time for any real play testing... maybe tomorrow.

Also, for those who didn't like the escape pod double tap thingy, be aware that setting "escape-pod-activation-immediate" = YES; inside the .GNUstepDefaults file will now revert to old behaviour.

Brilliant.

Ah… I’d missed the Griff Moray Medboat… no more error messages.
If you replace the line in any Griff shipset oxp that has a ‘player’ section, with: as per Svengali’s fix, all seems to be well... contentment ensues.
