Help with Tradelanes?

Thu Apr 03, 2003 2:13 am by Hybrid Theory

I am building my own system from Dawn's amazing tutorial, and it is all working great... I'm completely new at all this, so it is a great learning experience... I've looked through the threads, and I can't find any answer, or a problem such as the one I am having...

I took a tradelane from Li01, and put it into my new system Da01. I changed all the co-ordinates to it, each X,Z,Y value the EXACT same amount, and when I go to enter the one side of it, the game crashes on me. Can anyone help me out, or have any idea as to why it is happening... I also changed all the names and values to Da01 from Li01... But I am going to try Li01 later tonight, see if it works.

GOT IT!!! I guess you don't have to change all "Li"s to "Da"s

Old Code...

[Object
nickname = Da01_Trade_Lane_Ring_127
ids_name = 260925
pos = -36330, 0, 25230
rotate = 0, 109, 0
Archetype = Trade_Lane_Ring
ids_info = 66170
next_ring = Da01_Trade_Lane_Ring_128
behavior = NOTHING
tradelane_space_name = 196800
reputation = li_p_grp
difficulty_level = 1
loadout = trade_lane_ring_da_01 --- Don't have to change this 'Da' from the 'li'
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest

New Code...

[Object
nickname = Da01_Trade_Lane_Ring_127
ids_name = 260925
pos = -36330, 0, 25230
rotate = 0, 109, 0
Archetype = Trade_Lane_Ring
ids_info = 66170
next_ring = Da01_Trade_Lane_Ring_128
behavior = NOTHING
tradelane_space_name = 196800
reputation = li_p_grp
difficulty_level = 1
loadout = trade_lane_ring_li_01 --- See this is how it should be!

pilot = pilot_solar_easiest

Ya it was the loadout tha was crashin ya

if you have a look in loadouts.ini you would have had to have specified a new loadout for trade_lane_ring_da01

or summat along those lines

I have made an Excel file which basically creates tradelanes. You just put start and end coordinates and it generates the ini lines you need... just copy & paste them. You know how I can upload them here?

However, I found that there is a mistake in Dawn's tutorial: the rotation angle is not CLOCKWISE, it's counter-clockwise! That drove me mad for two days because my rings where oriented the other way...

stop laughing for my terrible english!

I'm not too sure how you can upload them, but the file sound like a great Idea, I sent you an e-mail asking for it, and I hope that you can get me a copy of it soon! Umm... Check the news, or maybe the foums for how to upload the files??? I'm sure someone from LancersReacor will ask for it eventually!

Great job by the way on creating that file, I hope that it works wonders for me... It'll save me copying and pasting so many tradelanes from different areas!

Great job on the Tradelane program, I took a look at it and it looks great... The code and everything is provided, and it looks just absolutly wonderful! Unfortunatly, I have not had time tonight to test it out, so I don't know if there are any problems, or errors... But I'm going to check it out, and see what happens most likly tomorrow or on Sunday.

Thank you so much!

I shall rise higher than thou... and never fall faster than before...

OKies

@Xinos :

Dude it works mint I've posted a new thread with a link for it to be downloaded from

Only one small problem was the labels for X start, Y Start were round the wrong way... but i fixed that ( I hope you dont mind ) re-zipped and uploaded it

Cheers,
Stryfe.
