Need help creating jumphole please

I'm trying to create jumpholes that link new york to most other systems.

I've searched the forums but cant find a solution to my problem.

I have started with one jumphole from New York to New London.

My problem is the jump holes are there both sides, and i can travel between them ok, but when i get to New London, although the nav map says its new london, the system is completely empty, except for my jumphole back to New York, which does indeed take me back to where i came from

in li01.ini i have

[Object
nickname = Li01_to_Br01_hole
ids_name = 260663
pos = -29300, 0, -26300
Archetype = jumphole
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Br01
ids_info = 66146
jump_effect = jump_effect_hole
visit = 0
goto = Br01, Br01_to_LI01_hole, gate_tunnel_bretonia

in Br01.ini i have

[Object
nickname = Br01_to_Li01_hole
ids_name = 260622
pos = -24156, 0, 60555
rotate = 0, 60, 0
archetype = jumphole_red
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
jump_effect = jump_effect_hole
ids_info = 66146
visit = 0
goto = Li01, Li01_to_Br01_hole, gate_tunnel_bretonia

Can someone PLEASE tell me wher ei am going wrong..

thanks in advance

Just for the heck of it ,try adding this to Bro1 system . Depending on a host of other probabilities this may be the simplest solution. You may wish to do one for Li01 system as well.

[zone
nickname = Zone_Br01_to_Li01_hole
pos = -24156, 0, 60555
shape = SPHERE
size = 2000
property_flags = 131072
visit = 128
sort = 99

If this is not the solution, there may be other problems such as 'mislocating' a jumphole in a station\planet etc. et al.

Hi!

You do not really need the zone, falcon posted. Such a zone is normally not needed for jumpholes, although FL Explorer creates one for every new jumphole. So, this cannot be the problem.

If there is really nothing in New London have a look in your Br01.ini. Is there anything else than your jumphole in it? And, did you recognize any other changes to the Br01.ini?

Maybe you can post some more of your code from the Br01.ini (not the whole file please). It would then maybe be easier to help you.

are you doing this in xml or just creating duplicates of the ini files?

just duplicates and adding th enew jumpholes at the bottom.
Adding zones didnt herlp at all, same problem.

What i did was copy this

[Object
nickname = Br01_to_Br03_hole
ids_name = 260642
pos = 88451, 0, 10446
rotate = 0, 60, 0
archetype = jumphole_red
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Br03
jump_effect = jump_effect_hole
ids_info = 66146
visit = 0
goto = Br03, Br03_to_Br01_hole, gate_tunnel_bretonia

and changed the destinaion to New York

like so..

[Object
nickname = Br01_to_Li01_hole
ids_name = 260622
pos = -24156, 0, 60555
rotate = 0, 60, 0
archetype = jumphole_red
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
jump_effect = jump_effect_hole
ids_info = 66146
visit = 0
goto = Li01, Li01_to_Br01_hole, gate_tunnel_bretonia

New York like this

[Object
nickname = Li01_to_Br01_hole
ids_name = 260663
pos = -29300, 0, -26300
Archetype = jumphole
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Br01
ids_info = 66146
jump_effect = jump_effect_hole
visit = 0
goto = Br01, Br01_to_LI01_hole, gate_tunnel_bretonia

New York to New London takes me to an empty system called New London
New London to New York takes me to A full New York as it should.
I wish i knew what was causing it, every hole i try is the same, always goes to an empty system,

the forums do not show the closing brackts, but they are there

Post Fri Apr 29, 2005 2:23 pm

There's nothing wrong with your code(apart from the local.of the Br01 jumphole,right inside planet new london).The problem has to be with your ini files.Are they still ini files & not txt files,is there anything in the files apart from you jumphole.

Maybe your uppercase I 'LI01' is giving you some trouble.

I edited them with notepad, they're still called .ini

Post Fri Apr 29, 2005 6:25 pm

Ok changed the location in NL so it wsnt in planet, put it at the side of a base.
but no matter what i do i get an empty system at new london. If i list the bases on the nav map nothing in New London appears. Its as if New london system has disappeared.

Can anyone show me thier code (that works) for a jumphole from new york to new london ??

I'd appreciated some more help here guys and i apprecaiate all those who have bothered to answer so far, i thank you all

Try deleting (or moving) your path files and see if it works.
