Argh! Why won''t my commodities dealer show up?

Sun May 23, 2004 2:15 pm by Glitch

Ok, so I've recently gotten back to work on my system, but it was made with an older version of FLE, and when I opened the mod again and made some changes the commodities dealer stopped showing up! The base I'm posting was a copy of Toledo, if that matters. Anyway, here are my entries:

I can't see any problems, but since it doesn't work something must be wrong. Is there something I'm missing?

Don't know if it makes any difference because I'm not sure what it does but I don't see a [spiels in your room ini.
Try adding:
[Spiels
CommodityDealer = manhattan_commodity_spiel

Could have something to do with the fact that you're putting a cityscape room into a planetscape base? Try formating the rooms the same as a base like Cali Minor or Pitts. Then format your mbase.ini entries the same. Example:
from Li02_02_base.ini
[BaseInfo
nickname = Li02_02_Base
start_room = Planetscape

Bah, the heck with it. I started over with new copies of the base files, and now it works fine. I think the dealer was missing from the mbases, as well as from the planetscape file.
