Oolite Bulletins

Just tried for a few day oolite 1.71.2 linux but missions don't come up. from time to time there comes a mission screen (have y bought y trumbles?) it says press space and than nothing. the rest of them (Astroids) don't work (no text nothing!)

any idea?

Damn Hesperus at work again. someone should really soon put him in witchspace forever

Try look in your cargohold... even better try and buy some food and see what happens to it.. *hint* hint*

...

on a side note... the Missions dont really start until your Combat rating is Competent.. then the Constrictor mission starts... no writing more because of fear of spoiling..

i think you need 128 kills for Competent rating

http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Elite_Rating

Do you have the longway round mission installed, that should be the first to "pop up", Frame is right though, you need to comply with the mission triggers, ie skill rating number of kills, which galaxy you are in etc, check the mission read me's or the wiki for hints

The missions don't work (You shouldn't think everybody who reports a bug is a stupid!), I finally tried 1.71.1 and it works. so its a bug not a trumble!

there is some javascript problem because it seems non of the scripts are working (like the one in System_redux).

my config is
Linux version 2.6.17.14-mm-laptop-5mdv ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070302 (prerelease) (4.1.2-1mdv2007.1))
btw
Addons don't work in /usr/lib/Oolite/AddOns, in /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite.app/AddOns they do please correct the searchpath

Are you getting the mission screen but with no text at all or is the text coming up, but nothing happening?

well no, did not think that for one moment, just tried to be of some help, but the trumble, if you say yes to buy it will eat food from your cargohold. and nothing else will happen. you could be a new commer and not know of that...

this board is quite freindly so lets keep it so...

Cheers Frame

as I told you in 1.71.1 everything works.
in 1.71.2 the only mission screen which comes up is trumbles but without any text or choice just saying "mission screen" on top and "press space"
I wonder that nobody else got that problem!
The AstroidsMission works fine in 1.71.1 but doesn't come up at all in .2 like the casino and all the others

Yep, thats definatley bad as rather than press space it should have the options to buy or not buy. Looks like the script is being read in part because the command to set the GUI to the mission screen is being executed but all commands after that are being ignored for some reason. In Oolites App folder there should be a text file called stderr, which should log why this is happening with a bug report. Could you load up Oolite and test one of the missions (eg Asteroids) and then post the contents of the stderr file? Should give a clue as to whats up.

well i reinstalled 1.71.2 and AstroidStorms
and here is the log of the terminal window (there isn't any logfile in the linuxversion)

You are running the trunk version, not 1.71.2. It also looks like you may have an improper installation. I cannot explain the string.expand.recursionLimit error you are getting otherwise.

One of the Linux guys may be able to shed a bit more light to this.

tried latest nightly build

My guess is that you have a problem in your Resources directory. Make sure that the files in /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite.app/Resources do not belong to a previous Oolite installation / version. I don't know how many OXPs you have installed, but the program only finds Asteroid Storm, although it looks like you are trying to load a game containing a missile from a different OXP.

Also, the call() method has been removed from the core game very recently. Remember, the trunk is in constant development and something that works today may easily be obsolete tomorrow.

Is any of the other Linux users getting problems building the latest trunk?

it is a clean new install from the package I only added AstroidStroms this time because it more easy debuging.
maybe libc is to old for libjs I got:
glibc-2.4-8

Try uninstalling your current version, install 1.71.2 and see if this works for you. From your log, it appears that you are trying to load a game containing the missile from the Nuclear Torpedo OXP. Where is that game coming from? Did you have Oolite installed at any time previously in your system?

I had 1.71.2 for all the time until i noticed that no missions come up.
i have tried 1.71.1 which works fine
I just deleted all other oxp (like the nuke one) to exlude them from causing the problem.
i tried i fresh 1.71.2 and the latest nightly build with just one oxp (Astriods) to test that is where the logs are coming from.
