I am trying to create the Peanuts solar system but I get an Orbiter error which is :-

At first glance, i'd say that it's the "STATUS Orbiting Peanuts_Snoopy" line in the scenario, but I can't really be sure without further information.
If the system has a planet named Snoopy then the line should be "STATUS Orbiting Snoopy". But if the name of the planet is Peanuts_Snoopy then the line is ok.

From the information above, you should have an $Orbiterroot\Config\Peanuts_System.cfg file. If what I posted above doesn't help, post the contents of that file. Please use

Code:

[ /code] tags.

garyw · Jul 20, 2012

Do you have a Peanuts_System.cfg file?

dgatsoulis · Jul 20, 2012

Also I just noticed, there is only one ship in the scenario and it is docked to itself!
"DOCKINFO 0:0,GL-01"

Delete that line before trying anything else.

Does the scenario was written like that or there are tabs ?

Code:

Thanks both,
     Yes I have a File Peanuts_System.cfg & the planet is Peanuts_Snoopy.
This is all based on the "Build your own solar system" that is on Eham.net.
its a bit old but thought it would still work.
 
; === Configuration file for solar system ===
Name = Peanuts System
Star1 = Peanuts
Planet1 = Peanuts_Charlie
Planet2 = Peanuts_Snoopy
Snoopy_Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
Snoopy_Moon2 + Peanuts_Pigpen
Planet3 = Peanuts_Lucy
 
I haven't created the Moons yet.

dgatsoulis · Jul 20, 2012

Try this: (changes in red)

Code:

; === Configuration file for solar system ===
Name = Peanuts[COLOR="Red"]_[/COLOR]System
Star1 = Peanuts
Planet1 = Peanuts_Charlie
Planet2 = Peanuts_Snoopy
[COLOR="red"];[/COLOR]Snoopy_Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
[COLOR="red"];[/COLOR]Snoopy_Moon2 [COLOR="red"]=[/COLOR] Peanuts_Pigpen
Planet3 = Peanuts_Lucy

The semicolon infront of the moons can be deleted when you make them.

Yes,thats how it is written.

I have deleted the DOCINFO LINE but it made no difference,I have also changed the ship to SH-03 & again no difference.

Did the suggested changes but no change.

Where are the .cpp files ?

Alan

garyw · Jul 20, 2012

you said that you haven't created the moons yet?

Code:

Snoopy_Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
Snoopy_Moon2 + Peanuts_Pigpen

Firstly that Moon2 should be followed by '=' and not '+' secondly do they have config files to define them? Do the planets?

dgatsoulis · Jul 20, 2012

According to the information you have provided so far you should have these files:

1.Orbiter\Config\Peanuts_System.cfg
2.Orbiter\Config\Peanuts.cfg
3.Orbiter\Config\Peanuts_Charlie.cfg
4.Orbiter\Config\Peanuts_Snoopy.cfg
5.Orbiter\Config\Peanuts_Lucy.cfg

Can you please compress those files to a .zip file named peanuts and attach them here?

The error msg was

Code:

>>> ERROR: [COLOR="Sienna"]No vessel class configuration file found for:[/COLOR]
---------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ERROR: 
>>> [Vessel::OpenConfigFile | .\Vessel.cpp | 252]
---------------------------------------------------------------

That's why we are looking into the cfg files.

An overlook on my part is that the moons should be stated like this:

Code:

[COLOR="Red"]Peanuts_[/COLOR]Snoopy[COLOR="DarkRed"]:[/COLOR]Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
[COLOR="red"]Peanuts_[/COLOR]Snoopy[COLOR="DarkRed"]:[/COLOR]Moon2 = Peanuts_Pigpen

But it makes no difference since you have already placed the semicolons infront of the lines. Anyway, replace the contents of the Orbiter\Config\Peanuts_System.cfg with this

Code:

; === Configuration file for solar system ===
Name = Peanuts_System
Star1 = Peanuts
Planet1 = Peanuts_Charlie
Planet2 = Peanuts_Snoopy
;Peanuts_Snoopy:Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
;Peanuts_Snoopy:Moon2 = Peanuts_Pigpen
Planet3 = Peanuts_Lucy

and please provide the files that I asked for in a .zip format. (add them all in one .zip)

Orbiter Error Log

My Peanuts_System.cfg is already as you have said.

View attachment Peanuts.zip

Merv0728 · Jul 20, 2012

The only place I can find ShuttleA.cpp is in Orbitersdk\samples, is that correct ?

Alan

dgatsoulis · Jul 20, 2012

That's not the problem. There are a few problems with your solar system, but none of them include .cpp files.

First of all you posted

My Peanuts_System.cfg is already as you have said.

.

The changes that I asked you to do were:

Code:

; === Configuration file for solar system ===
Name = Peanuts_System
Star1 = Peanuts
Planet1 = Peanuts_Charlie
Planet2 = Peanuts_Snoopy
;Peanuts_Snoopy:Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
;Peanuts_Snoopy:Moon2 = Peanuts_Pigpen
Planet3 = Peanuts_Lucy

as seen on post #12 of this thread, yet the file you attached has this in it:

Code:

; === Configuration file for solar system ===
Name = Peanuts System

Star1 = Peanuts
Planet1 = Peanuts_Charlie
Planet2 = Peanuts_Snoopy
;Snoopy_Moon1 = Peanuts_Woodstock
;Snoopy_Moon2 + Peanuts_Pigpen
Planet3 = Peanuts_Lucy

Anyway, I placed the .zip file you attached in my config directory and run the scenario you posted and Orbiter started just fine with no error messages. I did not make any changes, just used the files that you provided.
The solar system doesn't look very well, but not due to any conflicts, just a bad job done at making it. (planets have no textures, odd rotation values, etc.)

Here is a vid of the process:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5FJ1QiIGuw&feature=youtu.be

If you could post a link to the tutorial you are following, I could perhaps go through it and point out the mistakes, but I think you'll be better off reading pages 6 to 9 of Orbiter\Doc\OrbiterConfig.pdf file and looking at examples of other people's solar systems on Orbiter Hangar.

jedidia · Jul 20, 2012

The error in that log usually stems from an empty line in the scnearios vessel-block. However, there is no empty line in the scenario you posted... But it is not posted in code tags, and there are no empty lines where orbiter usually writes empty lines in a scenario file, giving me the strong suspicion that the scenario file you posted here looks slightly different than the one located on your harddrive. Did you alter the scenario file in any way when posting it here, or did you post it line by line?

Merv0728 · Jul 20, 2012

Jedidia, Thanks for your input. I just highlighted the contents of the file & copied it. I have now made a new Snoopy.scn file & it now works ok.

Thanks once again,now I can continue developing the system.

dgatsoulis,
thanks for all your input.

As I had disabled them with semi-colons I did nothing more to them.

Yes,I didn't expect it would look very good,it was just a trial part way through the development of the system.

Anyway as you see from the following post by jedidia it is now working,there must have been something in the Snoopy.scn file because after I created a new Snoopy.scn with the same info in it it worked.

Thanks again all who put some input in.
