I have a failure…

Finding myself with a tiny bit of unspent time, I've taken the 1.80 out for a few spins over the last week or so. All systems nominal, and the game is Better Than Ever™. (I especially like the OXZ manager. In the old days, keeping the AddOns folder up-to-date seemed to take up more time than the flying around, especially when coming off a hiatus.)

Anyway, I remembered this thing from before, and decided it would be a good idea to double-check my graphics. (I've previously played the game non-shadered without realizing, so I don't trust myself to recognize their absence.)

Problem is, it doesn't run. Is it incompatible with 1.80, or am I doing something incredibly silly?

Downloaded v1.3.oxz, and tossed it into Home/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/AddOns without doing anything to it. When that failed to produce the expected results, I tried unzipping and renaming the resulting folder […].oxp. Still no dice.

Can you be a bit more specific please? In what way exactly does it fail to produce results? FWIW, I just run the version currently in the repository and it seemed to be OK here.

I'm not sure I can. It simply does not run. At all. As in I see zero trace of it being installed.

Can you post the log file after running the game with a Shift-start?

Likewise! It's nice to be back in the cockpit. Now, if only that pesky Real Life™ would stop interfering…

OK, you seem to have exited the game on the rotating Cobra screen. The materials test starts after you've started a new commander though.

If this doesn't work, I would suggest going to Oolite's Tests github page and click the Download ZIP button. This should get you a copy of the sub-project, which includes the latest Material Test Suite.oxp. Install that one into AddOns in place of v1.3 and see if it helps.

Yep, that's what I did just now. But using the Start New Commander option actually starts a new commander. I've gone through each and every menu option and sub-option, with the exception of starting in strict mode, and none of them do anything differently than without the test suite installed. Hang on one sec, and I'll get a log with a Virgin Flight Into Buoy.

Ah, that explains things…

Code: Select all

14:58:42.188 [materialTest.error.consoleRequired]: The material test suite requires the debug console to be active.

Unless my memory is off, that used to be included in the 1.7x test releases. At least I cannot remember having had to do anything special to get the MTS to work before.

Actually you do not need the debug console running, you just need the test release version of the game. The error message is somewhat misleading in that regard.

Right. Having never tried a parallel install before, will the test release live happily side-by-side with the stable without having to take any special precautions?

I am not sure about Linux, but on Windows I have only one installation of Oolite, with two executables in the oolite.app folder: Test Release and Deployment. That's basically it. I can run either configuration without problems like this and they both share the same AddOns/Resources folders. I would imagine the same to be valid for Linux but I'd rather have one of the Linux gurus confirm that, though.

It looks like it does a complete replacement. Not that it matters, since the whole process is a 10-second affair. I can live with that whenever a need to switch back&forth should arise.

Thanks for your help; I'm all spinny-cubed up now.
