Proudly presenting the upgrade to Anarchies 2.1.

Contains numerous improvements and bugfixes. Details in the readMe.

As the wiki is down (again) ATM, here's the direct download link to box.net:

http://www.box.net/shared/1e1ahf6ses

Anarchies 2.1 fixes another old bug, and one introduced with version 2.0.

Anarchies 2.1 requires Oolite 1.72.1. If you're still on a previous version of Oolite, you should keep your previous version of Anarchies.

Thanks for that oxp...and I guess this line from the log is for you?

[script.addShips.failed]: SCRIPT ERROR in <anonymous actions> ***** CANNOT addShipsAtPrecisely: 'anarchies_salvager_tugger 1 wpu 0.010000 0.000000 0.250000' (should be addShipsAt: role number coordinate_system x y z)

The game just crashed twice when I tried to enter that system, but that may still be caused by something else.

Hi again!

Seems that I've currently too many things going on...UPS first asked me to get them some cargo back and while I was en route to that planet, they asked me to deliver secret documents, warning me about entering anarchies. However, their first mission forced me to do that.

Of course, Thargoids did attack, Tigers came back and there were all those pirates looking for the documents. My processor and graphics card seemingly did not to care, but the frame rate was horrible!

That much concerning the previously mentioned crashes. Now I've seen something REALLY strange while heading back from the first missions planet toward that for the docs: A sentinel station attacking a Kestrel. The station tried to stand still in order to move it's turrets towards the target, but also tried to rotate, resulting in very odd movements of that station, not rotating, more like shivering.

shift-h even said it was attempting to fly.

I'm not sure if that's an issue to go after, however, ships attempting to dock might get into trouble with such erratic movements of the station.

Hi Screet!

The first one is definitely an incarnation of the current ship-adding bug in Oolite 1.72.1 (see PM). The second one—I don't know. Would have liked to see it. But probably it's as you said: The station was somehow torn between its desire to rotate and its desire to attack. Haven't witnessed something like that before (and the gwx-station has been aound for quite a while—it's a design by Aegidian himself).

Probably you are right, and you do just have too many things going on...

I'm waiting for more incoming reports.

I see it already had this bug in 1.1. It issues a "performAttack" resulting in it trying to fly to the target. Max speed of the station is probably zero so it won't move, but apparently it does try to turn to the target.

Posted: **Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:11 am**

So what to do instead of the performAttack? Will the turrets fire without it as well, so that I just could drop it?

Posted: **Mon Jan 05, 2009 10:50 am**

Turns out the station doesn't need a performAttack at all.

Uploaded new version 2.1, which fixes both bugs mentioned by Screet above.

When I remember well, turrets are always auto attacking hostile targets. And hostile targets are definds as ships that are in performAttack state and have the turrets mother as target.

Hi!

I did first install 2.0, then renamed the folder .old when I updated to 2.1

Because I was having some slowdown-trouble without CPU/GPU load, I asked in the PC forum, where they asked me to provide the log concerning OXPs - and someone noticed that it lists both 2.0 and 2.1 for anarchies.

I then moved all old and disabled stuff to a different folder, did restart with shift (had the long pause).

However, my log still shows both!

AddOns/Anarchies2.0.oxp, AddOns/Anarchies2.1.oxp

Could it be that the oxp logging is done by the oxp itself and that anarchies 2.1 reports as both versions of anarchies?

Can't say. But read my suggestion over there in the PC forum.

This is my fault, there's a syntax error in the shaders that pops up in simple shader mode:

the line
#define Blink_on_off(1.0)

should read:
#define Blink_on_off(value) (1.0)

I'm having difficulty auto docking with a hackers outpost. Crashes every time. Is this a feature or a bug, does anybody know?

I could be the same bug with player ship subentities that leads to crashes inside structures like fuel-station thargoid-hives etc.
In that case it is the type of ship you are using that leads to the crashes. Currently Oolite seems not to support rotated player-ship subentities like turrets very well.

It's a supercobra. It rotates in the tunnel.
