Concerning mooring

Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:32 am by Nono

Hi, I have put a capship in my mod, which is likely to moor on large moors, but when in my custom system, I can't moor to the docking fixture of my custom planet, though it works with the stations.
I don't have a clue since the docking fixture block in the system .ini has been copied and pasted, but with the right entries changed ("dock_with =" and "base =" I think).
But still when I request landing on the planet, this damn robot tells me my ship is too big -_-

I believe must be an error somewhere around the system file but I'm not sure...

Any help would be appreciated.

Hm, looks fine, but shouldn't there be something like this:

docking_sphere = moor_large, HpDockMountD, 50.000000

in order to moor a ship designed to use large_moors?
Or should I simply change the ship prop to use med_moors?

Indeed, a ship with can_use_large_moors will need a moor_large spot on the docking_sphere, if I recall correctly. The one problem with using moor points is that they do not function in multiplayer - you end up having to use something like a "jump" docking_sphere.
