I do not know what is going on here: why are there two places on the wiki that have the oxz?

Cholmondely,

Now that is hand-waving.

How did you reach the wiki download location that you mentioned? For whatever leads there should not lead there, I think. For, there is one true correct wiki location, I think. That correct location is the one that I used recently (and for a long time earlier too, though perhaps at some point for some reason I used the other location instead or additionally). That by dint of which the correct location is correct, is that it is the one that gets used by the in-game pack manager, or perhaps by code that makes a database (or something) for that manager.

Cholmondely,

What is needful then? Not, I take it, to change the URL at which I have been putting new versions of the Interstellar Tweaks. So is what is needed merely to change - or perhaps simply remove - the link within the 'Quick Facts' section of the page that you linked? (Also, are the statistics on that page updated automatically via the file to which that page links?) A related thing that needs to be fixed is that this Hired Guns wiki page gives a download location that no longer exists (and that I cannot easily re-create).

That warning page contains the following mentions of my OXPs. I understood some of those warnings. I have come to understand some others of them. The following continue to fox me.

1

Code: Select all

Fer-de-Lance 3G

    Replaced equipment 'EQ_F3G_ANTISWEEP_MISSILE'

And similarly:

Code: Select all

Replacing Interstellar Tweaks/IST_derelict_SidewinderRusty with Interstellar Tweaks/IST_derelict_SidewinderRusty

(I found this, but it did not help.)

2

Code: Select all

Optional Expansions mismatch between OXP Manifest and Expansion Manager at character position 0064 (DIGIT ZERO vs LATIN SMALL LETTER N)

Might someone explain those warnings, please?

Thanks, Cholmondely

Re 1 (upload locations): I still do not understand, I am afraid. If there needs to be a webpage that makes my OXPs available for manual download, can you not (/would you please) change the URLs so that they are the URLs to which I actually upload, that upload being part of the process whereby I get an OXP into the in-game manager? Or ought someone else change the URLs?

Re 2 (the warnings): I will indeed ask Hiran. Thanks.

Re 3 (Box.net): I do maintain Thargoid's HiredGuns, but the Box link you provided is to the old version that was maintained by Thargoid (the Old Green One) himself. The reason that the Box links that I setup do not work is that Box annoyed me too much and I removed my account - having forgotten that some (old) Oolite stuff was on there.

Re 1: great!

Re 3: but that page says that the file at issue is an old one. OK.

Pictures for the Interstellar Tweaks wiki page: I find that I can edit that page (almost by definition, I suppose - it's a wiki!). Does one add a picture via the 'embed file' option? Also: it would be good for screenshots to have their own section on the page, but how, please, does one make a new section?

Cholmondely: thanks; when I get time, I'll try to add some pictures to that page.

Hiran: thank you very much. But, what, Apple and Linux builds of Oolite are not working? I can see relevant discussion about the Mac build, here . .
