Help with docking rings.

Mon May 30, 2005 9:02 pm by tmicklus

I have been trying to create a docking ring on a planet but everytime I dock at the ring the screen blanks out then I exit out and when I go back in I am back at manhatten. Here are the entries in the .ini files

Universe.ini
[Base
nickname = TM25_01
system = TM25
strid_name = 458890
file = Universe\Systems\Tm25\Bases\tm25_01_Base.ini
BGCS_base_run_by = W02bF32

TM25.ini
[Object
nickname = Dock_Ring_TM25_01
ids_name = 458890
pos = 43200, 1200, 27500
Archetype = dock_ring
ids_info = 458790
dock_with = TM25_01_Base
voice = atc_leg_f01
space_costume = rh_captain_head, rh_male_elite_body
reputation = co_khc_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 2
loadout = docking_ring_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest

tm25_01_base.ini
[BaseInfo
nickname = TM25_01_Base
start_room = Cityscape
[Room
nickname = Cityscape
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_01_cityscape.ini
[Room
nickname = Bar
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_01_bar.ini
[Room
nickname = Trader
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_01_trader.ini
[Room
nickname = ShipDealer
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_01_shipdealer.ini
[Room
nickname = Equipment
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_01_equipment.ini

I did the same set of parameters for a regular base and it worked fine. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

To get the base to work you need to change the entries-

from -> file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_01_cityscape.ini
to -> file = Universe\Systems\TM25\Bases\Rooms\TM25_01_cityscape.ini

Do this to the rest of the file & then copy all Li01's room ini's to TM25's room folder and rename them to match the base.You have to give every base an individual set of room ini's or you'll warp back to the origional base.

*edit* Just noticed,add "_Base" to the nickname in universe.ini,you might want to change the voice as well,hearing a woman when you can see a man is a little strange.

Hey Guys thanks for the input. Turned out it was an error in my universe.ini file I just needed to add _Base to the entry and it worked fine

Thanks for catching that Bejaymac!
