Loosing Equipment on Save / Load

Post by vsfc »

Hi,

From time to time I experience a situation when equipment get lost, i.e. not saved / loaded. It is pretty hard to track when it happens and it relates to loosing equipments like Q-Charger, HyperCargo, Auxiliary Fuel Tank all at random. My ship Python Commander has 2 passenger berths and I had a case where after loading save file only 1 berth is set. At this case I did check logs but nothing was there, nor did error.txt and stdout.txt have anything. Currently I am running oolite 1.77.1.

Any suggestions on how this could be tracked will be real help. I will be happy to setup any debugging tools available.

Regards,
V-SFC

Which OS is your game running under, and where are both your install directory and save game directory located within it?

I am running Win 7 64 bit, but game is 32bit. The location of the binaries is in the dropbox folder under Documents, save files is under the oolite.app\oolite-saves. Game is compiled using trunk source and copied into the dropbox location.

Do you happen to still have that savefile? If so, does the item disappear if you reload it? If so, could you put the savefile and the Latest.log somewhere I can look at them, please?

If you try an official 1.77.1 build, do you still get the problem?

Not to bother on an old topic, but I have the same problem.

I've created an new equipment addon, but it will only be available after buying. Reloading the commander let the new addon disapear to the market again. I checked the save file and both stored values ("EQ_MYITEM", "missionVariables_myitem") are saved. The log shows, that the script is loaded successfully and running fine.

For creating my addon I copied an existing one as template. Comparing the files shows no differences, except the names of course.

Did I something wrong? Have I forgot something?

Hi, and welcome.
It will be hard to diagnose this with so little information. Could you start by posting your Latest Log here? Also, an idea what it does might help as well. Another option is to upload the whole OXP somewhere so that anybody here who wants to help can download it and take a detailed look.

I've removed some addons and started with a new commander. Now my addon is working fine. Guess something weird happend to my old savegame. I'll copy the most important values and continue with the new file.

Nice to meet another Amy Wong fan!
