Oolite Bulletins

hello all,

i've tried downloading a number onto my mac but they don't seem to work.

i've moved the icons into the oolite add on folder but when i restart oolite there seems to be no difference.

i've tried: famous planets, armoury, griffs, your add here and a number of different hud s one at a time.

am i being an idiot?

Hi Orangetree,
I'm not a mac man (I do Linux) but when you download an OXP it comes as a .zip, which you extract. You should then find a 'readme' and a folder called 'Whatever.oxp' where 'whatever' is the name of the OXP. It's this .oxp folder that you need to put in the addons folder. It might be macs are a bit different...have a look on the Wiki.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Smivs

Could you post a copy of your latest.log - that way we can see where Oolite is looking for your OXPs and if its having problems finding/loading them.

thanks,

on the mac they seem to unzip themselves so when i look in the folder i see exactly as you explain straight away. it's the whatever.oxp files that i've moved into the add on folder but it's still not working.

here's the log, it means very little to me. thanks.

You do know that you have to hold down the 'shift' key when re-starting, don't you? It clears the cache so the 'new' OXPs can be read.

i've been using the shift, thanks.

OK. The log seems to suggest that they're not being found...it doesn't list them.
I think DH is on the right track, inasmuch as your system can't find them for some reason. Did the Wiki page give you any clues?

Black Monks is the only non-native mission in that list - so there's something odd going on with the rest of your OXPs (i.e. they're not being loaded, otherwise they'd be in the latest.log)

so black monks is working but i've done the same for all of them, very strange.

i have looked on the wiki page but there's not much info there for this.

Ah, hadn't spotted the Monks maybe we need a mac person

Edit - Just a thought, have you actually opened the AddOns folder and visually checked they are all in there?

Edit (again) - The Monks is a world_script, not the OXP itself. No actual OXPs are showing in the log, but clearly it found the Monk JS somewhere. This is weird!

There is definitely happening something weird. The script black Monks is present, but no message at the start that black monk is loaded. The start of the log should show like: After "Resources paths:" you should see the entry for black monks and all your other oxps.

On the mac you can add oxp's at two places. In the addOns folder that is in the same directory as Oolite itself, or as in my example, in your user area in the library, in a folder called "Application Support". There you also can create a folder "Oolite" by hand and put an addOns folder in it.

EDIT: Try creating that folder in the library in your user area. Maybe there are problems with privileges at the location you put them now. Get info about the AddOns folder to see if you have read privileges.

Hi orangetree, just to double check, is it the oxp file you are moving (e.g. shady_blackmonks.oxp), or a folder, for example, the shady blackmonks folder?

Eric Walch, is that log on a mac?

it's the .oxp file.
