Is it possible to unlock the NY->Magellen gate in MP?

*Please don't hurt me...too bad.*

I just spent 2hrs searching through topics all over this forum and searching the internet but I have yet to find an answer. Any help would be great.

Yes, it is possible, or at least im pretty sure it is...while I haven't done so (not on my top 10 list of things to do with the game) i have seen in the file 'initialworld.ini' a section titled 'Locked Gates'. I have posted the top of the file so you can see what i mean...

[locked_gates
locked_gate = 2926089285         ;St01_to_St02_hole ;St01_to_St02_hole
locked_gate = 2926433351         ;St01_to_St03_hole ;St01_to_St03_hole
locked_gate = 2460445762         ;St02_to_St01_hole ;St02_to_St01_hole
locked_gate = 2263303234         ;St03_to_St01_hole ;St03_to_St01_hole

my guess is that in there somewhere you can comment out the line regarding NY->Magellen and Magellen->NY

anywho, good luck...

I deleted these lines in initialworl.ini, and it does work for MP. I did this just on the server, and new characters were able to use the NY->Magellen gate in the Badlands. I haven't tried going back through the gate from Magellen, or checked it with a previously existing saved game either.

Although I deleted all of the locked gates in this file, I have only had success with the NY->Magellen gate. I can get to the Alaska gate, but get "Access Denied" when I try to dock with it. I also spent a great deal of time searching for the Omicron Major and Omicron Minor jump holes out in Omicron Beta. I couldn't find these either. I haven't tried looking for the Tohoku jump holes yet, but my guess is that I will not find them either.

I also tried deleting the same lines from the initialworld.ini file on my client install, and still no luck.

Anyone had any success with getting these gates/holes to appear? I know that I could make some new jump gates/holes in the existing systems, or rename and redirect some that are already in the game, but I am searching for more of a server side only mod for this.

I'd better be lookin' at a fat retirement with this deal...
