ed-warthog-target-script's Issues

ED_Warthog-Target-Script-Addon.exe sending too many messages

@Touille

Running the program with ED running.
I'm docked at Jameson Memorial and am getting flooded with updates even though the ‘Flags’ value is not changing.

This is due to the Lat/Lon (and therefore status.json) changing continuously as the station rotates.
Possibly a bug in ED as Lat/Lon shouldn't change when docked at a station in space (?)...surely!
Either way, when flying close to a planet, this same issue would be evident.

Not too sure if this was intended,however, it leads me to ask, if we are only interested in 'Flags' key value, why not test when ‘Flags’ changes instead of testing when anything in the entire string changes?

readBuffer[256] too small in ED-Warthog-Target-Script-Addon.exe

@Touille

When running the program, I get an error.
'Error(offset 256): missing comma or } after an object member'

I checked status.json and it was 368 chars long.
(In SRV)

Turning "High Beam" on in SRV throws a fatal error in ED_Warthog_Target_Script_Addon.exe

Recent addition of srvHighBeam (bit 31) in the Flags key value in status.json, when set, now causes the addon.exe program to throw a fatal error.

When bit 31 is set in the Flags key value, it causes the key value integer to exceed the maximum 32 bit signed integer value.

Changing the following to call for an unsigned integer return solves this issue;

// v_Flags = status["Flags"].GetInt();
v_Flags = status["Flags"].GetUint();

Gen:Variant.Razy.594931 virus threat detected in the executable

Hello,

Looks like Bitdefender is very adamant that there is a virus threat in the executable file. Can anyone confirm this?

Thank you.
