Jumpgate

Hi

I'm having some troubles with a new system i created. Here are the most important files:

universe.ini:

[system
nickname = Sk01
file = systems\SK01\Sk01.ini
POs = 12, 12
ms_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
visit = 128
strid_name = 524288
ids_info = 524288
NavMapScale = 2


Sk01.ini:

[Object
nickname = Sk01_to_Li01
ids_Name = 524305
pos = 0, 0, 0
rotate = 0, 0, 0
Archetype = jumpgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
ids_info = 524305
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
reputation = li_n_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 1
goto = Li01, Li01_to_Sk01, gate_tunnel_bretonia
loadout = jumpgate_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest


Li01.ini:

[Object
nickname = Li01_to_Sk01
ids_Name = 524304
pos = -45000, 0, -45000
rotate = 0, 150, 0
Archetype = jumpgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
ids_info = 524304
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
reputation = li_n_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 1
goto = Sk01, Sk01_to_Li01, gate_tunnel_bretonia
loadout = jumpgate_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest


Now, the Jumpgate appears in the New-York System as supposed. But when I jump through it, I end up in an endless Jumptunnel. I checked everything hundred times. I already posted that problem in the img-modding forum, but they can't help me. What could be the error here? (Dawn, if you could know it would be great, because i have a lot of code from your Tutorial).

"msg_id_prefix" is for the vocals of the NPC's it tells them what system to say, and as Freelancer doesn't have a vocal for SK01 you can ignore it.

There's nothing wrong with your jumpgate code so the problem is in the rest of SK01. A zone encounter that doesn't have a parameter or a bad archetype.

Post the rest of the SK01.ini and we'll see what we can find.

shortest_illegal_path.ini
shortest_legal_path.ini
systems_shortest_path.ini

your missing the entrys in those files

the entrys are something like this

Path = Hi01 , Li01 , Hi01, Ew01, Bw08, Ku03, Ku02, Iw06, Li03, Li01

Edit 1 spelling
Edit 2 spelling again
Edit 3 fixing code

the bold part is the starting system the Italic part is the ending system and the normal part is the path you have to take to get there

Well, the Problem is solved. Thanks Bejaymac. It had something to do with the objects in the Sk01.ini. I'm not sure what it was, but I just deleted the whole file and wrote it new. I copied the text from Darks Tutorial in and edited the Jumpgatedata. Now it just works... Quite nice Finally after 48 hours of hammering my head to the wall (the neighbours already complained )

I think it was the fault, that the coordinates of the JG were the same like those of the Sun. I didn't notice that because i was focussed on the JG.

Unfortunately that is only a suggestion, I don't know what it was exactely. But for any who have the same problem I had, just renew the .ini file of the system and take sure-working data.

Hehe, the name will be:

Scandiavia Sector or something like that. It will contain a scandinavian system like Rheinland or Liberty. New factions and goods (maybe trees or fishes ;-) ) will be integrated. But that will dure a time until i learned everything. But I make quite good progress. I thought it'll be more difficoult. Of course everyone who wants can help .
