System Map for new system not showing

I have encountered a problem with some of the systems I have added to my Mod. The system Map does not show anything. It says Data not available. How do I fix this?

Also, most things in my Mod are scripted. When I look at thye universe Map, and hover my mouse over some of the new systems, it will give a name of some item in my mod, nit the system name. WHat causes this?

Post the relevent parts of the script.

If I knew what parts of the scripts affect the Nav Map, I would not need to be posting.

No, no, it does not need be for the navmap. Put up, for example, your Universe.ini entry for your system. That's the most likely problem.

OK. It will be rather large.

WHatb would I look for in the universe.ini. I am working on posting it. Like I said, most of our things in our Mod are scripted.

Here's a typical entry in Universe.ini:
[system
nickname = Br02
file = systems\Br02\Br02.ini
pos = 4, 10
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Br02
visit = 0
strid_name = 196615
ids_info = 66102

The "Visit = 0" should be "Visit = 1" to show up on the Sirius map.
And the "strid_name = 196615" should be your system's name.
And the "ids_info = 66102" should be your system's information.
You're "Data not available error" means that either there is no entry, or no actual DLL entry exists for it.

Any "[Object" in the system's ini file, that you want to be seen on the map, must have a line with "Visit = 1"
This example shows several standard entries:
[Object
nickname = Br02_Sun
ids_name = 261014
pos = 0, 0, 0
ambient_color = 255, 255, 255
archetype = sun_2000
star = med_white_sun
atmosphere_range = 9000
burn_color = 160, 222, 245
visit = 0
ids_info = 66162

[Object
nickname = Br02_to_Br01
ids_name = 260653
pos = -74267, 0, -28226
rotate = 0, -90, 0
archetype = jumpgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Br01
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
ids_info = 66145
reputation = br_p_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 5
goto = Br01, Br01_to_Br02, gate_tunnel_bretonia
loadout = jumpgate_br_01
pilot = pilot_solar_hard

To make the first one visible, change the "visit = 0" to "visit = 1"
To make the second one visible, ADD a line, anywhere, that reads, "visit = 1"


Watch your 6!

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Now will this work even if it does not show up ion the map after visiting it?

Adding "Visit = 1" will make it show up ALWAYS.
Whether you visit it, or not.

Watch your 6!

I noticed that, however, I do not get a system nav map of a couple of systems. I can see the dot, but get No Data Available when in the system and looking at the Nav Map.

Again, try posting your parts of the Universe.ini (the first one warzog showed is the correct one), and THEN perhaps we can help you more.

ids_info = 66113
NavMapScale = 4

[Base
nickname = Ew02_01_Base

autosave_forbidden = false

[system
nickname = St03
file = systems\St03\St03.ini
pos = 14, 3
visit = 128
strid_name = 196657
ids_info = 66115
NavMapScale = 2

[system
nickname = St03b
file = systems\St03b\St03b.ini
pos = 15, 3
visit = 128
strid_name = 196657
ids_info = 66115
NavMapScale = 2

These are the entries for Omicron Beta and the Omicron Majors. None of these will show up on the universe Nav map and the system Nav Maps have No Data Available.

The Omicron Majors are easy: as warzog said, you HAVE to change Visit = 128 to Visit = 0. As for Omicron Beta, Will Tofu Fight is going on here?! It's copied EXACTLY from Vanella; it works there, but not here? Something is VERY messed-up-like. Wierd.
