Bug with bodies names as the empty string. [fixed]

Bodies whose name is defined as the empty string "" in a .ssc appear very strangely in the Windows contextual Menu. This bug can be repoduced with
ElChristou's Soyouz addon.
Here's an extract of the scc definition:
Code: Select all
"Soyuz TMA" "Sol/Earth"
"" "Sol/Earth"
{
Class "spacecraft"
Mesh "So2.cmod"
Radius 0.00375
EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 0.06175
SemiMajorAxis 6600
Inclination 51.7
Eccentricity 0.00380
}
Obliquity 50
Orientation [-90 0 0 1]
RotationOffset -90
}
"" "Sol/Earth"
{
Class "spacecraft"
Mesh "So3.cmod"
Radius 0.00375
EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 0.06175
SemiMajorAxis 6600
Inclination 51.7
Eccentricity 0.00380
}
Obliquity 50
Orientation [-90 0 0 1]
RotationOffset -90 When right-clicking on Earth to bring up the contextual menu and select Soyouz, 2 long lines appear, and when one is selected, some text about internationalization appears in the Selection overlay elements:
The bug also occures when displaying the label of the object:
This bug disappears when the 2 bodies are named with anything else than the empty string.

Vincent,
This is a weird one, but probably easy to fix.
Could you open a bug for it on the SourceForge tracker?

Chris,
Yes, of course, I'll add a bug report on the SourceForge tracker as well.

Chistophe,
There's no object defined as the empty string in the Apollo .ssc declaration.
However, replacing "Apollo 11a" with the empty string "" confirms the bug:
Actually, the text which is displayed corresponds to the translation of the empty string "" in fr.po:
msgid ""
msgstr ""

Ah yes, sorry I thought I use the same method...
Anyway I suppose this bug will find a fix so I suppose I can keep the "" declaration for future models... (to avoid this annoying Apollo 11a for example...)

I've chased this bug off the popup menu and the label renderer.
However, it still occures in the Solar System Browser:
Christophe,
Isn't there a way to fix this bug directly in the po file rather than adding all these filters in the code ?

Sorry, but can't you simply use an empty location (like barycenter,
Class "invisible") defined with an empty 3ds model to avoid all of this
stuff altogether?
Just asking, because I did that recently in order to remove the
blank selection entries on Celestia's orbiting bodies selection menu. I
HATE an empty selection line wasting space on my Celestia menu.

Bob,
Objects defined with the "Invisible" class are not rendered, which can cause some problems...
I just removed the bug from the Solar System Browser too.
With this fix, empty string won't appear anymore in the browser.
Objects named as a blank space string " " will still appear, though.
Then, it's up to addons creators to avoid this...

Just to let you know, I encountered this problem with rthorvald's space elevator version 2 (inn 1.5.0pre3 I think), but haven't noticed any similar problems with the Island One addon (in 1.5.0pre4).

Thanks CC.
The bug is now fixed in CVS.
