persistent cache of script

Arexack_Heretic · Post by **Arexack_Heretic** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 11:13 pm

Am I going soft?

I can't get the cache to be deleted.

I have only CargoWrex and Thargorn installed.
I am trying to test cargo with the pirate-stash, I initially wanted to add asteroids.
Unfortunately the 'radius' of addShipsInRadius doesnt work anymore(was fixed?) so they got crowded.
Tried to take out the asteroids with <!--,didn't work.
then deleted the entire string. didn't work.
deleted the oolite-cache in GNUSTEP/Library. didn't work.

the asteroids dutyfully appear. without me or the script asking for them.

Are active scripts now cached into the savefile? I am confused.

Nope. You sure these aren’t naturally-occurring asteroids? and that you've deleted the cache for the right version? As far as I can see, the current builds use GNUstep/Libarary/Caches/Oolite-cache.plist. (Then again, they should be deleting the old version.)

You do know that the method is called addShipsWithinRadius, do you? (Which is different to what you have written.)

I have only installed the latest version from Berlios.
(My system crashed a while back)

-No. no asteroids clumps of 10+ asteroids would naturally occur within scanner range at the WP. plus they are touching each other almost.

@cMcL: Yep. I checked, I just wrote it wrong here.

I deleted the right file earlier, and pressing SHIFT explicitly empties the cache according to the stderr.
I still encounter the clump of misplaced rocks....I am now gonna check whether I am messing up again with a dulicate script someplace.

rocks were coming from a 'spawn' command.
annoyingly spawn no longer acts on the entity-location of the caller, but always at the WP. This is what confused me. ....i think.

Hm. If it is a bug with addShipsWithinRadius, then it must be a PC-only bug. I haven't had any problems recently on my Mac.

Or another annoying question to A_H: Could you perhaps post the script-line with the addShipsWithinRadius-method? It could just be that for some reason you chose a very small radius?!?

<string>addShipsWithinRadius: piratestash 5 wp 0 1250 17500 1500</string>

However this is more probably me being me and messing things up.
The rocks I observed were from a launchactions=spawn: asteroids 8 within the shipdata of another rockthing.
The thing itself was located somewhere halfway to the station, while the spawned rocks were at the WP.

Indeed.

On first glance: What do you mean by "wp"? This is not valid, the third argument is missing. Like "wpm". Try this and look what happens.

On second glance: 1500 meters is not a very big radius. But usually it should give enough room for five asteroids.

it works...sorta;
generates a small group of treasuroids near the WP.

500 is about the minimum for 8 rocks.

I'll test wpm later tonight. Gotta go to a family function.
