Oolite Bulletins

Some of the JS script syntax that was allowed up until 1.74, will result in errors with Oolite 1.75.

In 1.75 these errors are only logged and the oxp will still function. However, it is advised to update the problem oxp as soon as possible. I already checked all oxp's in my box account and updated them over the past month.

Please compare your current version with the ones below. When you don't have the newest version, you will get problems with Oolite 1.75.

* Asteroid Storm 4.00 (fixed in 4.01)

Are these version numbers correct?

UPS-courier 1.7.4 (fixed in 1.7.5)

???

Download UPS Courier v 1.7.3 Version for 1.74 users. (Will only work with 1.74 and upwards.)
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/UPS_Courier

Im confused. Is 1.7.3 compatible, if not, where can I find this 1.7.5 version of UPS-courier? Or am I reading this wrong?

Click the link in the Wiki page. There's a typo in the Wiki page, the file downloaded is certainly 1.7.5.

As for the topic - I believe Fuel Collector 0.06 had those errors too...

My mistake. I updated the version on the box, but forgot to update the description on the wiki. Done now.

Thanks, corrected now.

There are 3 versions of the dredgers listed. The difference was only the complexity of the textures (bigger file size). For the older and smaller two versions I only fixed the bugs. In the newest version 2.4.3 I also added new 1.75 code for custom escort positions so that escorts stay closer to the big ships.

Hi Eric,

I was playing oolite after downloading 1.75. I was offered the earth quake delivery but when I arrived at the earth quake planet station, the arrival report has not been displayed.

When I looked at the code I realized Manifest["machinery"] is used between lines 126 to 136 in ups-docs.js. When I changed it to manifest["machinery"] it worked.

Excellent spotted! Specially because it is in such a rare mission. I was full focussed on the "System" casing that I didn't realize I used "Manifest" also in UPS. (In ore_processor this "Manifest" casing was the reason for the update)

Fixed now in 1.7.6

Also there is a problem with PlanetFall 1.40,

I am getting that message in the log file

[script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (PlanetFall 1.31): TypeError: tempStation is undefined
[script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ../AddOns/PlanetFall 1.40.oxp/Config/script.js, line 25.
[script.load.world.listAll]: Loaded 62 world scripts:

All sounds very complicated - would it be advisable for computer illiterate, silver haired surfers like me to stick with vrs 1.74 or will 1.75 be essential?

It will just take a few days at the beginning until the majority of OXPs gets in sync with the new game version. This is the case every time there is a version bump, but this time it might be a bit more noticeable because of the complete overhaul of the JS engine.

I would expect in a couple of weeks things will have been sorted more or less out. If you want to stick with 1.74.2 you are free to do so of course, but note that there is a very good chance that things will begin to not work anymore with 1.74.2, as the OXPs get updated with the new non-deprecated versions of handlers, or the correct syntax for scripts or whatever else version 1.75 of the game has introduced. To all intents and purposes, 1.75 is the thing for now and it will be the basis of the next stable release, so it's best to stick with it.

What were you doing at the time when that error occurred? The tempStation is the parameter passed into the function there, so it's odd that it should be undefined. I can add a check line in to bail out if it is so, but I'm more interested to know the situation where it could happen.

Hi Thargoid,

That is just during Loading the OXP's. Without even opening a saved game.

Also you have the Manifest error in Vortex.
