[REL] Blueprint Info Framework v1.4.4

Yeah, it's a separate download for Linux, so probably for Mac as well. See here. The Linux one requires some voodoo to get working, but the Mac one seems to have a nice dmg.

@brianpurkiss , can you try the latest version of BIF to see if it fixes your issue?

I just tried with latest build, on windows 8.1, and it doesn't work. Same issue of stuck on loading screen with loading Blueprint information. Build 61250

Actually introduced another bug accidentally. Can you re-install the mod and try again?

Yup, its working now. Clicking re-install seem to do it. Did you change something? It still says build 61250.

It's still not running for me. If there's any way in a help with debugging it, just ask.

Can you change the bif.fileExists function to the following and let me know the coherent debugger output?

Code:

bif.fileExists = function(src, callback){

    var jsonXMLHttpRequestObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
  
    jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function() {
        console.log("[Blueprint Info Framework] fileExists - jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.readyState: " + jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.readyState);
        if (jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4) {
            console.log("[Blueprint Info Framework] fileExists - jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.status: " + jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.status);
            callback(src, jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.status != 404 && jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.status != 0);
        }
    }

    try
    {
        console.log("[Blueprint Info Framework] fileExists - sending: " + src);
        jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.timeout = 5000;
        jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.open('HEAD', src, true);
        jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.send();
    }
    catch( err )
    {
        console.log("[Blueprint Info Framework] fileExists - error: " + src + " (err.message: " + err.message + ")");
        callback(src, false);
    }
}

Here you go: Alphasite/aab51202287199e9c176

and just to be sure, this si the version string at the top of the file:

Code:

//===================================================
// rBlueprintInfoFramework - Blueprint Info Framework
//---------------------------------------------------
// rBlueprintInfoFramework.js
// Created by Raevn
// Version 1.2.0 (2014/02/20)
//---------------------------------------------------

Im pretty sure this is causing an engine level crash, because the debugger putters out completely as well, and the game actually quits correctly when closed. Although sound still seems to be playing, and auto starting when it comes back into focus. But the UI is totally unresponsive.

Edit: Also, this appears in the logs.

Those failed to allocate buffer errors do not occur in the normal run, without this mod.

So it must be hitting some kind of limit that is present on the Mac version of Coherent but not windows. Hmm.

If that's the case, try doing this to make it synchronous (haven't tested this code as I'm at work). This will bump the loading time considerably though

Code:

bif.fileExists = function(src, callback){
    var jsonXMLHttpRequestObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
 
    try
    {
        jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.open('HEAD', src, false);
        jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.send('');
    }
    catch( err )
    {
        callback(src, false);
    }

    callback(src, jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.status != 404 && jsonXMLHttpRequestObject.status != 0);

}

That seems to have done it, although its still hangs temporarily, but thats unavoidable i guess.

Stilla bunch of unloaded files, but it looks like those aren't in the game atm.

Oh, and thanks for the help.

Yeah, there will be many it can't find - those are the base blueprints or other unfinished data. The whole point of the function is to work out which ones exist

Glad I know what the problem is now. How long is the loading time for you?

It's around 30 seconds, I guess this is one area where an ssd would help with the game

Looking at it, you're probably right about it being an OSX issue, I'm pretty sure you're hitting the file descriptor limit, because by default its set to only 256 per process, so with the number of files you search i can very a sly see you hitting that.

I'll look into implementing a queue, so I can still keep it somewhat asynchronous for performance reasons, while limiting the number of calls at once.

I'm also getting stuck at the loading blueprint framework on Mac (MBP 2012).

Which file do I drop this in?

mods\rBlueprintInfoFramework\ui\mods\rBlueprintInfoFramework\rBlueprintInfoFramework.js

(Replace the existing function of the same name)

Thank you, alphasite and raevn for the file-capture and debugging. Really appreciate it. About 9 seconds blueprint load here, which is totally fine. I'll take that anyday vs not being able to use hotbuild2.

I can't find the mod files to edit anywhere on my Mac. I've searched the application support, my home directory, everywhere.

Its in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Uber\ Entertainment iirc (check the spellings), the Library folder is hidden by default, so either either use CMD+SHIFT+G and enter the path, or google who to show the folder.
