ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
I don't know what exactly you mean by shared DLLs...
Shared by (possibly) multiple add-ons?
Then I would suggest: <OrbiterRoot>\Modules\Shared\ or <OrbiterRoot>\Modules\Plugin\Shared\
Since both have their reasoning, I cannot decide :D
...aaaaand <OrbiterRoot>\Modules\ and <OrbiterRoot>\ all...
set_animation: argument 1: Invalid type (expected number) nil given
is a pretty good description of what went wrong:
a call to set_animation was done with the 1st argument being nil
It should be pretty easy to find the code that lead to this.
I'm no valgrind expert, nor a linux developer, but the output of valgrind seems more like telling you that there's a memory-leak (one has constructed an object with "new", but that object is never released - with "delete").
As ther's no delete, valgrind cannot tell you where that is missing - it...
-2005530516 ( 0x8876086C ) is D3DERR_INVALIDCALL
Are you having any other Application running (screencapture for example) that might also try to use the Graphics-Hardware?
Please look further up (in the log) to find whether D3D9Client compains about any feature your Graphic-Card (or driver) is...
Addendum:
Just add this line at the end of the script and it will close:
exit 0
So "the complete" Script looks like this:
The lines starting with "rem" are just comments. Just to remind me what exactly this script is good for ;)
These line do nothing (noops) and can be omitted - it's just...
Yes it is!
Dont' worry. That is just the cmd shell that is still open.
I might improve the (shell-)script so that this "atrifact" will close itself too, but I'll have to think about how ;)
You see: This is working, but far from being perfect ;) The last tiny bits are the hardest. That's what...
Hi,
no need to be sorry - let's try to answer your questions:
The folder where Orbiter_ng.exe and Orbiter.exe are located.
No, the (.bat) Script is "location agnostic". As long as it is located where Orbiter_ng.exe and Orbiter.exe are located, it should work everywhere.
No. Just run (double...
...looks a lot like a thing a movie director would immagine for a mars scene! (y)
The altimeter reading on the landig however seemed to be a "bit off". Still impressive however!
Like this (StartOrbiter.bat to be located in Orbiter-Root Folder):
@echo off
if exist "Modules\Server\Config" (
rmdir /S /Q "Modules\Server\Config"
)
xcopy "Config" "Modules\Server\Config\" /S /E /Q
Orbiter_ng.exe
A "work.around-work-around" to keep the Config folders in sync, would be to create a simple batch file, that
first deletes the Modules\Server\Config directory,
then makes a full copy from \Config to Modules\Server\Config
and then starts Orbiter.
Thus the Config folders are in sync (assuming you...
Hi,
that you can not create the symbolic link on your external drive is strange.
To investigate this I would have to re-create the issue here, but I have to find an external drive for this ;)
In the meantime here's how you create the symbolic link manually:
open a command promt and navigate...
Either my eyesight is getting worse and worse, or Orbiter space screenshots are getting better and better (y)
Several years ago, I would have saved them as "original" 😍
