Mission Creation Problems,

Im having some problems getting missions in new systems to work, i read the tutorial and attempted it , but lord knows im an idiot and it didnt work, anyone fancy helping me out, heres what i have

Zone in New system

[zone
nickname = zone_IW07_destroy_vignette_1
pos = 33830, 0, 35850
shape = SPHERE
size = 10000
mission_type = unlawful, lawful
sort = 99.500000

Entry in mbases.ini

[MBase
nickname = IW07_0_Base
local_faction = co_os_grp
diff = 1
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_base_Iw07_01_Base


[MVendor
num_offers = 8, 12


[BaseFaction
faction = co_os_grp
weight = 88
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.000000, 0.112387, 30
npc = iw0401_orbital_001_f
npc = iw0401_orbital_002_f

[BaseFaction
faction = gd_bh_grp
weight = 12
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.480486, 0.900376, 80
npc = iw0401_bounty_001_m
npc = iw0401_bounty_002_f
vignette_type = open


now its quite possible that i got it entirely wrong, im fairly new to missions. but any suggestions would be welcome



blaaarggg

Could be that you want this part in the mbases.ini instead of in your system....

[MBase
nickname = IW07_0_Base
local_faction = co_os_grp
diff = 1
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_base_Iw07_01_Base


[MVendor
num_offers = 8, 12

oops typo, sorry that part was already in the mbases.ini, i just put the "entry in the mbases.ini" in the wrong place, edited the post

Well, i just heard from Giskard that if you used BiniQ then when you edit the Mbases.ini, biniq goes ahead and cocks up the whole file by doing the following (this comes from giskard and not me!!)
Giskard:-
Did you recently load Mbases into biniq ?

That does corrupt mbases and cause that effect.

Here is a typical Mbase entry.

[BaseFaction
faction = co_shi_grp
weight = 100
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.900376, 1.687204, 100
npc = ku0302_samura_001_m
npc = ku0302_samura_002_m
npc = ku0302_samura_003_m
npc = ku0302_samura_004_m


A corrrupt entry looks like this.

[BaseFaction
faction = co_shi_grp
weight = 100
offers_missions = mission_type = DestroyMission, 0.900376, 1.687204, 100
npc = ku0302_samura_001_m
npc = ku0302_samura_002_m
npc = ku0302_samura_003_m
npc = ku0302_samura_004_m
My prob is that missions were wortking, you just couldn;t get em from the board (not friendly enough)
or does yours not work at all?
*edit* sorry- am new to systems too-check with the thread Giskard does on making systems - it covers the mbases.ini entry (adding population to bars etc) as well as the vignettes - i just followed that, and it works well.........link below (to both of them- they are useful as hell......)
Giskards - making your own system part I
Giskards - making your own system part II
These should be more help than i ever can!

i did use biniqdu, but i fixed the corrupt file a while ago so its correct again and the missions are working, other than that no luck, will check those other threads though
