I don't know.. We might be nice for a while but when we finally get angry we turn into down right monsters. Some of the most important battles in the world wars were won due to Canadian forces(yet they don't teach this much in american schools

. We're just the "nice north people who live in Igloos".)

A question for litcube though.. Will you be expanding this project into other stock scripts after you finish with this one?

Uh, what's a Canadian?

Apparently, they're quite good at scripting. I do hope we see a release of this, as I know I'm adding quite a few ships via Jobs(about that--I'm almost done, really), and most of them are docked fighters. I was saddened to learn how much processing power they take. Consider this a pre-recommendation.

Canadia sounds like a pleasant place, at any rate.

Looks like you *are* testing it! Joke is on you!

That's sort of the plan. Though, no one has brought up any other scripts that cause a big impact. I'm still not over the irony that the most performance sapping script is run on something that does nothing.

If someone's going to do that, highlight other vanilla scripts that blow performance wise, back it up with a little science.

Testing for me is is a long process where attention to detail and great care must be taken to get the best from any script or mod. Like really great sex. The more you put in the more you get out

V0.29b feels more like a quickie behind the bike sheds in comparison

Litcube didnt you disable logging in v29b? Im still getting a logfile... I just noticed I had a 4 bazillion GB file in my egosoft folder.

I sure did.

If you're positive that the logging is still happening, it would explain why your bug reports weren't making a whole lot of sense.

You either

a) didn't install it properly

or

b) you installed it properly, but didn't start a new game.

the follow command doesn't give up when a new version is installed.

Well its a new game. That i know. How was I supposed to install it? I unzipped it into the scripts folder?

Hrmmm....mystery. Starting another new game as we speak to see if I had a brainfart.

joelR · Post by **joelR** » Sun, 12. Jun 11, 04:34

Nope....started a new game with 29b and a logfile spawned ( I deleted the existing one) Did 29b overwrite the older versions?

Post the last 10 of the log.

Yup. That's the log. Are there two move.follow.templates in your script dir?

Only one.

There is a !move.follow.template.notship.pck as well but I think that was already there.

That was my only thought. Whatever it is, an old version of a file is there and it's spitting out a log. There are no logging events in 0.29b.

Oh for gods sakes. Let me dig through there.

Some questions first:

1. Can the logging be triggered if one of those files ended up in a different folder

2. Is it only those 4 ?

EDIT: There are 2 of these lib.Gen.runscriptwhenfinished. One is xml one .pck

Gotta be in your game's script directory, the directory under which the .exe is launched.

There has only ever been 4 files, but at version 28 I compressed the follow script into a .pck. I thought you might have missed this and still had the .xml in your script dir, which is why I asked.
