i started to enter other sectors after i completed the mission in which you were given the code to leave the new york system as a bonus,i think mission 4.

Anyway i could enter and leave system ok until i found the jump hole from leeds to dublin i whent there to buy cheap gold off the mollys, but when i tryed to leave the system back to leeds i got ACCESS DENIED, i could enter any other system no problem so thought no more of it until i got a message from juni to return to manhattan for another mission i was locked out of the calafornia system so i tryed hudson to texas locked out of texas,
Bering to texas still locked out of texas , colorado to new york still no joy,i also tryed the jump holes but to no avail.

I have re-installed the game and am trying again from the beginning becouse i installed some other mods and maybe thay affected the game in some way.

I will try to duplicate your condition to se if I "missied" a jump.

All jumps or wormholes must have defined unlock BOTH ways. I think I will type up a Codex.txt file so people and me can reference the code to what system and what jump it is talking about. Example Li01 is New York, Li03 is Colorado, Li02 is California, etc. I will get back with you.

Thanks Sabin for feedback. It helps to track down bugs.

I now know what programmer feel.

I could not reproduce the "Can not get back to New York" gates closed problem.
I played for about two hours retesting exactly what you did, but I never had a problem with going back and leaving New York. I am up to mission 6.

I am going to test that jump hole from Leeds to Dublin to see if it is only one way. If it is, then I missed the reverse statement to make it go both ways.

It may have been becouse i used a save game. But the save i used was at the very beginning before i recived the player ship off juni.
Do you think this is the cause.
Anyway i have re-installed the game and the only mod i am using is yours.
i will keep you informed if it happens again.

First, make sure you are using the file from the OpenGate.ZIP not the file I originally gave out, it opened the gates too quick in script and caused your problem you speak about. That file is raw, unziped with no readme, meant for NoStory MOD. There is Sabin site to download the latest besten version.

No it should not. The gate codes unlock further down into the script AFTER you accept Juni's first mission and then get your first ship. I tested that also since I did not want to watch over, and over the opening story movies from a new game start.

Whee is that Leeds to Dublin jump hole? I found from Leeds and tested both ways the following: Leeds to Magellan, Br04_Iw03 both ways; Leeds to New London Br04_Br01 both ways;
Leeds to Cambridge Br04_Br03 both way (It works fine but there is a small bug with this one jump hole, the NavData is NOT updated, it remain named Unknown. It shows up in the Leed's system Nav Chart, but the hole when docking says 'unknown' and when you get to New London, it says the same unknown and will NOT be updated on your Nav chart for that system to find it; it was a story line hole enabled. the script for update Nav data chart is missing, it can be added in; infact you can make your own wormholes anywhere.), and finially I have not yet found Leed to Dublin Br05_Br04 hole.
It must exist it is scripted in, I am not finished exploring the Leed's system. I am taking data to note where objects position is in relationship to co-ordinates on the Nav Chart -may prove useful to people (and to find stubborn holes setting in the dense sensor deprived smog fields).

Hope that helps, please tell me how it fairs. I do try to support all my MODs like all good software companies should. I want to get into the game making industry
