Just a point on random hits, LittleBear has informed me... "There is a slight bug with Random Hits on 1.75. If you dock at a Bar with your weapons set to safe, then the mission generator times out and you get a message saying your computer was too slow to generate any missions. Eric is gonna fix that for the next release, but as long as you remember not to have your weapons safed when entering a Space Bar, the current version is OK with 1.75"

I agree with Eric. I find it extremely unlikely that weapons safe has anything to do with the timeout.

        if (player.ship.bounty > 0){
            this.breakStuff(); 
            this.showScreen = "rejectPage";
             return; // no further evaluation!!
        }

        if (player.ship.bounty > 0){
            this.breakStuff(); 
            this.showScreen = "rejectPage";
            this.pagesAreBeingBuild = false; // ready building pages <-----
            return; // no further evaluation!!
        }

Thanks Fatleaf, it is just as I expected. Seems like you have (amongst too many others, judging by the difference in download statistics of the files needed for this OXP ) forgotten to read the documentation

I was not aware of that problem. At this moment I even don't see what setting "weapons to safe", has to do with it. It might even indicate a problem in Oolite of using a lot of time at this point, without subtracting it from the JS time. I'll try to reproduce it.
The message only indicates that the code was interrupted. It could also be interrupted by a syntax error. What does the latest log say about this?

I've had problems with 1.4.8 bombing out with nothing in the logs, now I've tried 1.4.9 and get the "too slow" message that should not happen or something However this time I do get some logging. PM'd to LittleBear.

Ian.

//log(this.name, "Created page "+this.hitpageMaxNumber+" after "+(Date.now() - startTime)+" msec.");

Hello Ian,

LittleBear is not responsible for this part of the script, I wrote that part. Maybe your computer is indeed so slow that it needs more than a full second to create the first 3 pages. You could open the script file "oolite-randomHits.js" and search for the line

Code: Select all

//log(this.name, "Created page "+this.hitpageMaxNumber+" after "+(Date.now() - startTime)+" msec.");

and remove the first two "//" characters. That will make that line active so that it writes some additional info to the log to determine if page creation really takes that much time.

I have just completed another tranche of entries in the OXP table which is now as up-to-date as I can make it.
There are still a few blanks, which I hope in time will be looked at.
The compatibility was checked by Fatleaf, who installed each of the OXPs, ran them for a while and checked for log errors. He has done an amazing bit of work for us and deserves great thanks.
If any OXPs are found to have problems, please try to report these on the OXP's thread where possible.
