Oolite Bulletins

Today I have made a strange observation during the initiation of Black baron mission. In the initial briefing I read

“The news of your brave assistance to the Qubeenian Royal family has stirred new hope in the hearts of the exiles f Eninre”

But I was unable to find a dependency of long way mission with the black baron one in the script plist of black baron. Is this a bug ?(the only thing that I can assume is that there was a dependency in some previous version and the original author took it back without clearing the missiontext plist)

I am using the latest (ver 1.3) version.

Hmmm. From my memory I would say there is a dependency between Black Baron and Spyhunter. But Longway?

Ah. Errrr....

I wrote that. Ages ago. (in fact it was the first ever script written by a third party. (besides Giles' own example script (Longwayround IIRC))


And there was a dependency but I then rewrote stuff and messed things up and it wouldn't start anymore ...

I didn't have time then to solve it and ripped out the non-working dependency and put it up the way it was w/o dependency

never got around to fixing it again. I know, it should be only a matter of checking thhe other mission was "COMPLETED". But I was in the middle of exams...

and now, years later, my scripting skills have shriveled up and died, I'm afraid so I won't be able to fix it in a timely matter

(I even forgot it wasn't working the way it should..)

Oooooh, does it mean BB is orphaned? <nudge, nudge, wink, wink> :D

Go for it matey, I'm sure Rxke won't mind.

I have found this because I am preparing the list with buggy abandoned oxps in order to post it in to the sticky post. So I am doing a meticulous audit to all of them, you cannot imagine the things I have found.
In the list I want to have all their bugs with possible recommendations .Do not expect something soon (I have seriously underestimate the situation – there are so many of them)

Perhaps this helps? And if a few tips should emerge how to do something about those problems beyond taking the named oxps out - or even against the memory overflow problem - I would indeed be very, very grateful ...

Lestradae

those error messages are basically saying that there are problems with quite a lot of oxps. I'm looking into swift.oxp, but the way it was created is... let's say unorthodox, for want of a better word. From what the log says, you won't be able to see/use quite a few of the 'broken' oxps, so having them in the addons folder doesn't seem to do much good...

Anyway, you might want to load starbelly2.png into a graphic program and save it again as a png.

From what your log says, there are 'a few' problems with that png file, and after 5 seconds of trying to load it, oolite doesn't seem to have any memory left for other textures. Then it runs out of memory altogether.

If that doesn't help, removing all-stars.oxp should allow you to play oolite.

Of course, you might want to try and repair the oxps yourself, all you need to do is to track down & remove every single problem listed in the log!

edit: starbelly.png seems to have the same problems as starbelly2.png, and whatever oxp contains the 'tesoura' ship is seriously not doing oolite any good.

About BlackBaron, if you want to fix it: by all means, be my guest. I'd be much obliged.
