Never Ending Warp....

Thu Oct 30, 2003 8:04 pm by ScOpEH

Just made my first system, very basic added sun & warp gate lol. However when i dock with the warp gate in NY to get to my new system, i get into the warp, the screen goes white as normal, but then i dont stop warping...

Not sure what the problem is. Below is my new system.ini file:

[SystemInfo
space_color = 0, 0, 0
local_faction = li_p_grp

[archetype
ship = li_fighter
simple = li_fighter_dmg_portfin_cap
simple = li_fighter_dmg_starboardfin_cap
simple = li_fighter_dmg_engine_cap
[EncounterParameters

[TexturePanels
file = universeheavensshapes.ini

[Dust
spacedust = Dust

[Nebula

[Asteroids

[Music
space = music_omicron_space
danger = music_omicron_danger
battle = music_omicron_battle

[Ambient
"color = 105 200 249"

[Background
basic_stars = solarstarspherestarsphere_stars_caps.cmp
complex_stars = solarstarspherestarsphere_bw08_stars.cmp
nebulae = solarstarspherestarsphere_bw08.cmp

[LightSource
nickname = mo01_system_light
POs = 0, 0, 0
color = 195, 199, 237
range = 120000

atten_curve = DYNAMIC_DIRECTION

[Object
nickname = mo01_Sun
ids_name = 261050
pos = 0, 0, 0
ambient_color = 158, 166, 242
archetype = sun_2000
star = med_white_sun
atmosphere_range = 9000
burn_color = 195, 199, 237
visit = 0
ids_info = 66162

[zone
nickname = Zone_mo01_sun_death
POs = 0, 0, 0
shape = SPHERE
size = 8000
damage = 1000
sort = 99.500000
density = 0
relief_time = 0

[Object
nickname = mo01_to_li01
ids_name = 201002 <-- thats an ids i added
pos = -50000, 0, 0
rotate = 0, -135, 0
Archetype = jumpgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_li01
ids_info = 66145
Jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
reputation = li_p_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 1
goto = li01, li01_to_mo01, gate_tunnel_bretonia
loadout = jumpgate_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest

would greatly appreciate if someone could lend me a hand

anything else you would have to look at?

Well, the most thinkable problem is that you have spelled "gate_tunnel-bretonia" wrong, but i doesn't seem to be the failure. As a suggestion, try to change "Jump_effect =" to "jump_effect =". Its only a suggestion.

BTW, do you have a link to the tutorial you used for the new IDS-name?

Use FLED-ids mate, its very easy to use, and user friendly.
So, anyone got ANY idea whats up with the system? its afterr the screen flashes white, so im guessing it gets stuck trying to read the systems ini fiel, but for the life of me i cant find anything wrong with it :/

oh, i get FLMM to add to my universe.ini the following:

<data file="data\universe\universe.ini" method="append">
<source>
[system
nickname = mo01
file = systems\mo01\mo01.ini
pos = 13, 10
visit = 128
strid_name = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES("Mento-18"

ids_info = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES("A New and upcoming system, sells only one ship.. the mento fighter. Populated by the Blunti people"

NavMapScale = 2
</source>
</data>

Are you using the demo? These are exactly the symtoms you get when you try to jump from New York (or into it) in the demo

I'm trying to find a solution to this problem (see the thread "Demo Modding - General Issues"

i did that
the only thing that worked for me was to start all over

there are three ways we can describe the Starlancer forums if TLR was a town.....
they are either the ghettos, the old folk homes, or the graveyard

Fri Oct 31, 2003 4:49 am by ScOpEH

ok well, decided to revert back to replacing the whole universe.ini file instead of having FLMM gen ids's. I started over again. followed tohe tute TO THE WORD, thankfuly, now i dont get stuck in the warp, it just crashes to desktop when the screen flashes white.... please someone help! i'll send all the files, this is just plain silly!!! on the upside, liberty navy docked and went through the gate before i did which is a good sign i guess

dave,

No offense - but the amount of errors that are in Giskards system modding is shocking. Luckily its all just typos - but if you don't know what you are doing - phff.. I have made a thread that will help with crashes to the systems that you make. Its in the tutorials forum - and is stickied up at the top of the forum.

make sure you put a new jump gate in the system that's suposed to be at the end.

You can jump in demo you don't even need a jump hole or gate all you need is a jump base

Spam, would you like to tell the rest of the universe what a "jump base" is?

I'd like to know. It sounds interesting (and like it has potential for other uses)

BTW, Has anyone figured out in-sytem jumping?

In system jumping is simple, very very simple:

Just make the goto line to another jumphole in your own system. The shortest_path.ini already has entries like:
Li01, Li01, Li01 That is all it needs, they all have it already!

For the jumphole example - check this out:
In your system file you do this, you can use whatever nicknames for the jumpholes so it doesn't matter, just make sure that it refers to the right part.

Example:

[Object
nickname = Iw03b_to_Iw03a
ids_name = 260610
pos = -83000, 0, 0
rotate = 0, -90, 0
Archetype = jumpgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Iw03 ;says where jumping too -doesn't matter
ids_info = 66145
jump_effect = jump_effect_elite3 ;erm - my custom
reputation = li_p_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 1
goto = Iw03, Iw03a_to_Iw03b, gate_tunnel_elite3
loadout = jumpgate_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest

Object
nickname = Iw03a_to_Iw03b
ids_name = 260610
pos = 0, 0, 10000
rotate = 0, -90, 0
Archetype = jumpgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Iw03 ;says where jumping too -doesn't matter
ids_info = 66145
jump_effect = jump_effect_elite3 ;erm - my custom
reputation = li_p_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 1
goto = Iw03, Iw03b_to_Iw03a, gate_tunnel_elite3
loadout = jumpgate_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest
