A possible solution?
Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2018 7:55 pm
At last I've been able to adjust certain OXZs which have been giving me trouble for a while. I may not be the only one with this problem, so you might like to try this method and see if it helps.
When the OXZ is flagged in the latest.log as being defective in some way, change the ending from .oxz to .zip, and open it. This should create a folder with the same name.
Change the original file's name back to end with .oxz, so you have an unmodified copy if this doesn't work, but don't put it back in the Managed Addons folder just yet.
There should now be a folder with the same name: open this folder, locate the apparently defective file and open it.
Just what you do next may involve some trial and error: each file is different, but as a rule of thumb, all lines within a given pair of brackets should end the same way (with or without a comma, semicolon, or whatever). I used BBEdit.
Save the corrected file.
Highlight all files in the top-level folder (but not the folder itself), and drag them together, onto the zip folder icon in StuffIt Destinations. This will create a new Zip file, which should be given the same name as the original OXZ (but without .oxz or .zip at the end: the program will do this itself).
Change the end of this file's name from .zip to .oxz, put it in the Managed Addons folder, and test as before.
So far, I've been able to do this for the following OXZs:

The one OXZ so far which I haven't been able to cure by this method is Liners: the problem appears to be in Config/shipdata.plist, "liners_drone"… subentities = (…); [lines 159-200 in my copy]. Any thoughts on why this one is different?
(with thanks to other Commanders involved for their help and patience)
