[REL] BOSS - Better Oblivion Sorting Software : IV - Oblivion

» Wed Apr 06, 2011 7:53 pm

See leandor's page http://code.google.com/p/better-oblivion-sorting-software/wiki/DevMasterlistFormatProposal.

Overall, I think it looks great! I don't see any regressions from current functionality, and I see how this would give us many more capabilities going forward. I had a few thoughts while reading through the proposal:
- I would suggest including (>=[version string]) and (<=[version string]) too, which in my experience are used more often than the straight > and < versions
- SAY seems gratuitously different from most scripting languages. ECHO, PRINT, or LOG would seem more natural
- on that note, most scripting languages use '#' as a comment character (perl, python, bash, etc.), which would be even more concise than '//'
- the usual complement of boolean operators would be nice for the conditional expressions: IF (fcom AND NOT better_cities) THEN ...

Also, re: the potential future features listed on the proposal page. I had some of those same ideas for the Installers tab in Wrye Bash (e.g. dynamic dependency anolysis and automatic consistency checks for installed files). Maybe we should coordinate our plans?

EDIT 2: Weird. Does anyone else notice that if they refresh the page the dark red text loads as bright green but then gets changed to dark red before the page finishes loading?

Yeah, it does that for me too. Strange! :blink: Too bad it doesn't stay green; it'd be slightly easier to read. Oh well.

(...), I thought that conditional version checks could be done like so:

(=[version string]) -> evaluates to true if the version string of the mod exactly matches what is given.
(>[version string]) -> evaluates to true if the version of the mod is greater than what is given.
(<[version string]) -> evaluates to true if the version of the mod is less than what is given.

Regarding version number strings, I noticed that not many authors reliably put and update them in the mod header. I've not thought deeply about the implications (masterlist size, speed of BOSS, etc.), but wouldn't it be useful to store pairs of CRC/MD5 sums and the corresponding version number, to disambiguate some situations? You wouldn't need to include those for every mod and every version, but they would come useful if a new version of a mod radically changes the tags that should be used, and the only way to differentiate from the last version is the hash of the .esp file.
I would also come handy when we want to warn users that they should upgrade to a newer version to avoid problems: right now they get the warning whenever the mod is detected, but it'd be better to only print a message if the correct mod version is detected, which may only be possible through the hash.

I wanted to update BOSS since I was using an old version, and now BOSS is acting funny. Running any of the exe or bat files will get as far as "Better Oblivion Sorting Software working..." then an error message pops up and it closes. BOSS - Print Debug Info will produce this error instantly.

I deleted all the files associated with the previous version and extracted the archive to \Data. My Wrye Bash options are set to "lock times" and "BOSS disable lock times". I'm on XP, and OB is installed to C:\Program files\Bethesda Softworks.

What did I do...?

Edit: After further inspection, BOSS appears to be sorting my load order fine, but instead of opening the BOSSlog file when it's done, this error message pops up and BOSS closes.

I've recently discovered a possible quest breaking error in my delayer scripts.
I'm in the process of correcting the errors and upping the new mods to Nexus.

Please add the following note to my delayers (listed below).
*Versions less than 3.1 may cause the quest being patched to resart if installed after the quest has started. Update to the latest delayer if you suspect a problem.

without the error message itself it is hard for us to debug what is wrong... however I can say that the Bash option BOSS Disable lock times only works for launching BOSS from within Bash... otherwise no effect; so either disable lock times, run BOSS outsidee of Bash, reenable lock times or run from within Bash.

That could be an idea, but it seems a bit unfeasible to me ATM... Not sure how quick it is to calculate a checksum. I won't disregard the idea though.

As PM said, what would make your post infinitely more useful is to actually post the error message that comes up, and the output of Print Debug Info.

Hi, I noticed a conflict between DLCfrostcrag.esp and Real Lava 1.3.esp
Real lava changes the lava in the oblivion gates.
BOSS sets real lava before frostcrag spire, but frostcrag sets the lava back to normal. So Real lava should load after frostcrag spire. Hope this helps ^^

hmm did you forget to tick the box in Wrye Bash. --> Bash Tag suggestion(s): {{BASH:Graphics}}

» Wed Apr 06, 2011 11:08 pm

Oh, I don't normally use the bashed patch, sorry about that (I never really understood how to build it properly without risking of excluding something). I'll just move real lava under frostcrag or build the bashed patch with only real lava. Thanks for the help ^^

First of all: Many Thanks to everyone who works/has worked on BOSS, I doubt my recent FCOM install would have gone as smoothly as it did without BOSS.

unrecognised mods (Sorry for lack of .esp names - using different computer):

Xtudos alternate Bruses (addon for Emma's Companion Vilja) - available under additional files @ http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28977

JQ - Bear Essentials House Quest - http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=4184

Also, is there any chance of increasing the time-out limit for the update masterlist batch file. I am on a rather slow dial-up connection at home, and many attempts at updating the masterlist simply time out. No worries if it is not possible.

Many Thanks again!

» Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:02 pm

Another one, and considering it is a new mod that is not surprising that BOSS does not know it yet.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=6565

Any one wanting to download Sable and use her as a companion...this is a comment from Maigrets:

Please don't download at the moment UNLESS you are using Waalx Animals and Creatures.

I'm trying to get this invisible body issue fixed, but it might take a little while.

Since only one person here bothered to tell me about it, which I appreciate, anyone else who downloads now and has an issue without reading this comment will have to wait.

Yes, I can do that for the next version.

EDIT: I've increased the timeout from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. Does that sound better?

Also, I've added the ability to calculate CRC 32 bit checksums to BOSS, so that's going to be another method we can use to check versions.

I don't think lock times is at fault here, but I'll keep that in mind.

"An error occurred while sending a command to the program" would be an okay translation.

How does that look?

.... it looks like it finished successfully : )
I checked out your screenshot again, and I saw that I missed something the first time: the title of the error window shows that the error isn't with BOSS, it's with the attempt to open the BOSS/BOSSlog.html file in a browser. Normally, an attempt to "start" a html file will open it in the system default browser. What happens when you manually double-click on that file in windows explorer? Does it open properly?
Regardless, according to the log, BOSS has properly done its job and sorted your mods, so at least you don't have to worry about that part : )

Yeah, the file opens in my default browser.

I'm pretty sure my old BOSS opened the log in a txt file... if that's of any importance.

True, maybe the log not opening isn't such a huge deal. Still, I'd like to figure it out.

Also, I've added the ability to calculate CRC 32 bit checksums to BOSS, so that's going to be another method we can use to check versions.

*Jaw drops* You're fast

it was changed to a html file a while back to enable colorization and better formatting.

True, maybe the log not opening isn't such a huge deal. Still, I'd like to figure it out.

I fully agree -- in that spirit, could you run another little test for me? Could you drop to a shell (i.e. run cmd.exe) and run the following commands:

cd /d C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Datastart BOSS\BOSSlog.html

Just tried that, the console answers "The system cannot execute the specified program" and that same error message pops up.
