Difficulty starting out

[Mariachi]

I am getting jacked up like mad almost from the get-go, I mean just about every other system around Lave has fleets of pirates/rebels camping the beacon, and they don’t seem to be mollified by dumped cargo. Some of these guys are killing me from the very limit of the scanner at 1:1 (48km?) Once this even happened at Lave itself with an empty hold, bunch of AI griefers yelling about the bureaucracy or something. This can’t be normal! I haven’t played Oo for a few years but I don’t remember anything like that.

I do have a bunch of OXPs active, but mostly ambience, HUDs, additional ships, later missions. The only Mechanics are Bigships, Torus To Sun Drive, and Variable Masslock (it was impossible to go more than a few km on Torus before running into masslocking traffic.) Nothing that I can see that would infest noob systems like that.

Any ideas what’s going on here?

[Lone_Wolf]

the "additonal ships" might be responsible for this, also lave is not exactly a safe area.

Head for zaonce, there's a reasonable safe milkrun ( furs <> computer trading between low-tech agrarian and high-tech industrial systems) close to zaonce.

Hi Mariachi, welcome to the boards! There aren't really any such things as "noob systems" - as a Dictatorship, Lave, for example, is one of the more dangerous systems in Galaxy 1. However the behaviour you describe doesn't sound normal. Whilst you can be unlucky in a Corporate State or Democracy and encounter a pirate pack, if they demand cargo and you comply, that should work.

The comms messages are most likely from the [wiki]Communications Pack A[/wiki], but it's possible you have an OXP that's adding pirates (I think one of the Eagle ship OXPs used to do this, for example). Can you provide a list?

Edit: ninja'd!

[Smivs]

Hi Mariachi,
Definitely doesn't sound normal. As the others suggest, post a full list of OXPs. Also, you don't say how long you've been playing, but if you've had time to take on any courier contracts you might have picked some dodgy ones - there are a lot of folks out there making sure that certain items are not moved around!

[Layne]

Hurrah, the Mariachi band I ordered is here! Everyone dances!

You might want to get out of the main space-lane if you want to avoid most of the mass locking; jet perpendicular to the line from the Witchspace beacon to the main planet for a bit before orienting on the main beacon (or planet) and heading in. You'll be outside the bulk of the witchpoint-to-station traffic that way.

Welcome to the game and the forum, commander!

[Norby]

Welcome!

Some of these guys are killing me from the very limit of the scanner at 1:1 (48km?)

Scanner range is 25.6km but military laser can hit from 30km. Try ident lock the ship which fire you from long range ("r" key then aim it with the crosshairs) to know which ship OXP create it.

G'day Mariachi, and welcome aboard!

There aren't really any such things as "noob systems" - as a Dictatorship, Lave, for example, is one of the more dangerous systems in Galaxy 1.

This..

For example, see what Disembodied once said about Oolite, quoted in my sig below:

[Mariachi]

Thanks for the tips — once I got away from the Old Worlds sector I stopped popping in near campers. Getting out of the main spacelane has helped a lot too.

Now my only question is why does every Coriolis identify as Raceedat Station?

Edit: Oh, and I can’t find the keybindings for iTunes integration anywhere here or on alioth.net. Does it require purchase of primable equipment?

[phkb]

Now my only question is why does every Coriolis identify as Raceedat Station?

It's really starting to sound like you have some conflicting OXP's at work here - are you able to post a list of what you have installed? Possibly from the latest.log file?

[Mariachi]

Here’s the beginning of it up until docking at “Raceedat.” (Pay no mind to me slamming into the nav buoy.)

Code: Select all

21:11:25.658 [script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (oolite-populator 1.82): TypeError: system.addShips(role, 1, pos, 0) is null

Something in one of those OXPs is causing an exception in the system populator. That's not good.

[Norby]

why does every Coriolis identify as Raceedat Station?

It is a mission target in Trident Down. No problem at me but you can try remove it to check.

[Mariachi]

Is there any way to track that down short of the very tedious work of uninstalling all the OXPs and reinstalling one by one until the error gets thrown again? I zgrepped the OXP directory for “addShips” and “populator” but got zero hits.

Edit: Turns out that’s because zgrep isn’t smart enough to delve into zipped subdirectories.

[Smivs]

You will find a large number of 'addShips' in the various OXP scripts so tracking down the culprit will be tedious I'm afraid. Spawning via the populator is a more recent innovation, so newer OXPs (specifially those written for or properly updated for v1.80) will be the place to look. I would expect fewer problems with these though.
As you may be aware the common advice for new players is to run for a while largely without OXPs to learn the basic game 'rules' and methods, then add OXPs in one by one so each can be assessed and learned by the player. This way problems can be identified quickly and easily as it is usually the last one added which is at fault or is causing problems.
Starting with a whole load of expansions will always make bug-tracking difficult, I'm afraid.

Hi,

Since I'm back from using Oolite and don't know if you can manually delete/install OXPs outside this (for me newfangled ) automagic OXP installer I'm not sure this works, but:

instead of one by one, divide the list in two, disable the second half, if the problem persists, the problmatic oxp is in the first half, disable half of that first half, if the problem persists... You get the picture.

For 200 OXPs you need 7-ish steps instead of 200.. (worst case)
