#2324 KC-135 white screen on startup

[legoboyvdlp]

The KC-135 on FGADDON gets stuck on displaying a splash, displaying merely a white screen. The last message with --log-level=bulk is Reading image "FGDATA/data/Textures/Splash2.png"

The file does exist. The aircraft does not specify any splash in the -set-file. This is very odd, I don't think its actually related to the splash itself, as this works perfectly on all other aircraft.

Run under GDb, hit Ctrl-C a few times to break, and see where it's stuck?

Apparently the problem is in the -set.xml. Replacing

        <author type="string">
            Innis Cunningham, Vivian Meazza, David Culp
            and Julien Pierru
        </author>

with

        <author type="string">Innis Cunningham, Vivian Meazza, David Culp and Julien Pierru</author>

makes it load.

[James Turner]

That's very odd, will take a look!

[James Turner]

Based o the code, the contents of the string shouldn't make any difference. Jonathan can you try a few different 'weird' author strings with the UFO and see if you there's any pattern? It shuld all be exactly the same, so I'm very confused what it could be.

[legoboyvdlp]

Yes, replacing the UFO's author block with
<author type="string">
Innis Cunningham, Vivian Meazza, David Culp
and Julien Pierru
</author>

    results in the same white screen.

    The trigger is the newline -- a backspace immediately before the _and_ then results in it working normally.

Actualy, the issue is if there are three or more newlines.

These all work:

<author>
A
B
</author>

<author>A
B

</author>

<author>A
 B

</author>

<author>A
B
C
</author>

While these don't (note the space before the closing tag in the first two blocks):

<author>
A
B
 </author>

<author>A
B

 </author>

<author>A
B
C
D
</author>

I get the same behaviour with the UFO and it does not matter if the indentations are tabs or spaces.

[James Turner]

The osgText I create for this specifies a maximum of three lines, so that is .... interesting :)

Fixed for the KC-135 per [r7948]
