You can just bump up the tradelane speed. Not sure how to do it anymore though...

very likely just a typing error of the code... plz post it

I´ve found some typos. Now FL doesn´t crash anymore. But the jumpgate isn´t visible in space, and if I click dock my ship heads for the connected gate on the other side of the system

check your LOD for your new intersystem jump gate.
It should be something like this:
LOD_range = 0, 999999

Also, check your "jump characteristics"...take the New York intersystem jump for for an example. They're labled "a" and "b" . (that's the jump hole from the badlands to somewhere near the tradelanes about 1k below plane and is labled New York Jump hole on both ends.
I think all you have to do is specify the "go to" properties.
Such as "a" to "b" and then "b" to "a" .
From your description, it sounds almost like you've got them set up backwards.

Long time no post in this. I´ve played around a bit wit these in the las months. The Jumpgates are visible now, but When setting them up systeminternally my ship always set a course cirectly into the sun, when cilicking on DOCK (I used New York for testing). And when I set them up as a connection between two systems my ship just goes somewhere, but it doesn´t dock.

Check the in sytem jumphole code for New York, there's an in system jumphole there

Drake.. Can you please post your code?

The problem when heading towards the sun is because the JH has a faulty linking... Let me check it out and see if I can spot the error!

get flexplorer, make an in system jump gate, then replace the archtype in the ini file with your new one.

I'm guessing that you gave your track ring the same hardpoints are a jumphole/gate?

Here´s the Code:

In solararch.ini:

[Solar
nickname = intgate
ids_name = 60209
ids_info = 66145
type = JUMP_GATE
DA_archetype = solar\dockable\jump_gates.cmp
material_library = solar\Solar_mat_misc02.mat
material_library = fx\envmapbasic.mat
envmap_material = envmapbasic
LODranges = 0, 99999
mass = 10000.000000
loadout = jumpgate
open_sound = gate_open_sound
close_sound = gate_close_sound
jump_out_hp = HpFX3
solar_radius = 600
shape_name = NAV_jumpgate
docking_sphere = jump, HpDockMountA, 225
hit_pts = 999999961690316250000000000000000000.000000

in Li01.ini:

[Object
nickname = Li01a_to_Li01b_gate
ids_name = 524420
pos = -28278, 0, -25619
rotate = 0, 140, 0
archetype = intgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
ids_info = 66145
reputation = fc_or_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 7
loadout = intgate
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest
goto = Li01, Li01b_to_Li01b_gate, gate_tunnel_intgate

[zone
nickname = Zone_Li01_to_Li01
pos = -28277, 0, -25618
shape = SPHERE
size = 1000
property_flags = 131072
visit = 128
sort = 0

[Object
nickname = Li01b_to_Li01a_gate
ids_name = 524420
pos = 35944, 0, 2682
rotate = 0, 140, 0
archetype = intgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
ids_info = 66145
reputation = fc_or_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 7
loadout = intgate
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest
goto = Li01, Li01a_to_Li01b_gate, gate_tunnel_intgate

[zone
nickname = Zone_Li01_to_Li01
pos = 35945, 0, 2683
shape = SPHERE
size = 1000
property_flags = 131072
visit = 128
sort = 0

The Gate is not just a simple ring, it consists of 3 rings put together by milkshape and then reexported. The Hardpoints are the following:
HpFX01 (0,0,-60)
HpFX02 (0,0,0)
HpFX03 (0,0,60)
HpDockmountA01 (0,0,-40)
HpDockpointA01 (0,0,-80)
HpDockpointA02 (0,0,-100)

The numbers are the coordinates

Allright... Found it!


[Object
nickname = Li01a_to_Li01b_gate
ids_name = 524420
pos = -28278, 0, -25619
rotate = 0, 140, 0
archetype = intgate
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
jump_effect = jump_effect_bretonia
ids_info = 66145
reputation = fc_or_grp
behavior = NOTHING
difficulty_level = 7
loadout = intgate
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest
goto = Li01, Li01b_to_Li01b_gate, gate_tunnel_intgate --------- Here it is!

Change the above to:

goto = Li01, Li01b_to_Li01a_gate, gate_tunnel_intgate

Now it should work for you!

Also...


Solar
nickname = intgate
ids_name = 60209
ids_info = 66145
type = JUMP_GATE
DA_archetype = solar\dockable\jump_gates.cmp --------- ????
material_library = solar\Solar_mat_misc02.mat
material_library = fx\envmapbasic.mat
envmap_material = envmapbasic
LODranges = 0, 99999
mass = 10000.000000
loadout = jumpgate
open_sound = gate_open_sound
close_sound = gate_close_sound
jump_out_hp = HpFX3
solar_radius = 600
shape_name = NAV_jumpgate
docking_sphere = jump, HpDockMountA, 225
hit_pts = 999999961690316250000000000000000000.000000


Are you sure there's supposed to an s in

DA_archetype = solar\dockable\jump_gate""s"".cmp

Other than that everything seems fine!

jump_gates.cmp is my model. A Gate consisting of three track rings.

Nope, this doesn´t fix it
->
Test 1
Test 2

try gate_tunnel_bretonia instead of gate_tunnel_intgate
