Just an added thought I'd better add a few examples of the holes in question

Chugoku ini

[Object
nickname = Ku06_to_BW05_hole
ids_name = 260781
pos = 7962, 0, 2831
rotate = 0, 60, 0
archetype = jumphole
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Ku07
ids_info = 60212
jump_effect = jump_effect_hole
visit = 0
goto = Bw05, Bw05_to_Ku06_hole, gate_tunnel_bretonia

I think this could be your problem

---

Any editting of initialworld.ini, newplayer.fl and mpnewcharacter.fl and one or two others I haven't found yet, will be ignored by Freelancer if it finds a Restart.fl in the save folder. It doesn't matter what you choose on the menu screen, new game, load or MP, Freelancer looks for a Restart.fl in the save folder to take it's settings from, only when it can't find one will it make a new one from the files I mentioned earlier.

---

The settings in your initialworld.ini don't match with the settings in other peoples Restart.fl. As this is their vanilla restart.fl, making a new one with your settings will cause them problems with SP.
I can only think of two things to do. 1- carry on as you are. 2- make a small mod to download for your server ( either the altered ini or a small xml script).

But unfortunately that doesnt seem to be the cure for my problem, I editted the restart.fl and removed reference of the locked gates from it. A run the server off one pc and play test on a vanila install on another pc, I created a new character and result is still the same. Do I need to create a new account? As for writing a new "xml script", in my defense I'm an out and out ini hacker, but looks like I may need to learn something new

Does anyone knows what creates the "visit" flag in player accounts? Armed with that knowledge I may be able to track this one out.

Can't believe I didn't spot this earlier.

Your jumpholes read "visit = 0" but in vanilla they read "visit = 128", this is why they don't show for anybody, you need to change everybody's jumpholes to match yours, in other words a small mod for your server.

*slaps head and goes to stand in the stupid corner*
Of course client ini's depict what visits are are written into the character account.
Will test that theory in a matter of minutes.
Yep that does the trick, amazing the longer you look at a problem, the more difficult it becomes to see the obvious answer.
Thxs for the input
