Note that you can omit the zones, they function just as well without them.

Also, don't enter too large rotational angles for X and Y, or you'll screw up the tunnel effect.

Yes, that's right. Children, the zones are just for your eyecandy, they can be deceiving... meaning, you can put several zones around your sun, tempting you to reach any of them, then boom!... Well, that's enlightening, thanks!

3. You can conclude that the j-holes need to be taken from 2 interconnected holes (2 neighbouring systems).

4. The formats you need to find is obviously: for Object "xxxx_to_xxxx_hole", and for zone "Zone_xxxx_to_xxxx_hole".

5. Make sure you change the position slightly by 2000 or 3000 difference from original, either in x, y, or z dimensions. If the zone size is 1000 or bigger, reducing the size to 500 or 300 won't crash the game or make you stuck in the straw.

6. I haven't tried the jumpholes in multiplayer. Have fun testing out, and please point out any ideas that can improve the jump-holes function, such as; creating new IDs for new names for each jump-holes.

7. By the way, I haven't tried connecting it to Freeport 7. I'm pretty sure it's an empty system even if you get there. Well, from the fp7_system.ini file description it shows nothing of interest, but perhaps it is interesting. Have fun.

This is very informative; thank you.

I was wondering if you might have any insight into why the jumphole from Leeds to Cambridge doesn't show up on the map after you've used it. There may be others that have this issue, but that's the only one I've found so far.

If there's a way to fix it, I'd be grateful to find out what it is.

"What's the matter Colonel Sanders, chicken?"

And the same ill with a few jumpholes I found, both before and after my jumpholes editing. I don't bother much about it, as I've made my own Sirius Map with system names and correct connection lines, worth doing. =)

Sorry can't help anything about that, perhaps the line: "visit = xxx" might have to do with that.

Anyone please?

Good work...

Hey is this ruby_knight from TPG ?

if so

STOMP STOMP STOMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



if not ... umm keep moving nothing to see here

How are things Big Man???

I can't seem to find a link to the Grand Central Station Mod. Could someone post this for me? Thanx.

Dam good to hear from you again What Servers you playing on ????
who else over at tpg is playing ..

Check out my customer models in the star lancer forums

anyhow this is off topic .. catch up with you in general prattle

okidokie!

wOOt! I made it to the tutorial paigey and am still a recruit =P

Hi ppl i am intrested in making som alteration`s to the game jump holes and ect. but the only problem it that i don`t knowe didely skwat abaut edeting file`s of kourse i have den in there an looked around but with out the right prog`s it did not make sens at all si i figerd tat sins the first i whanted to do was to make some new jump holes i tougth i start here. i have downloaded a prog from this site called BINIQDU i havent had time to look at it but i vill bit sinse the topic is "* TUTORIAL - Jump-Holes *" i was hoping some one might try to explane What for me is jibberis and Bull**** some of it make sens but not all so please help me out here Thnx

We are born, we live and one day we will all die (vell some of us Vill)

Tutorial for basic editing is located elsewhere, and I'm not allowed to explain so as this thread is only for Jump Holes.

Assuming you know some basic editing, then this thread would be perfect for creating new jump holes.

The tool for editing and creating new jump holes is an Freelancer ".ini" editor, which you can find in the tools section of the main homepage. It's command-prompt.

If you're stucked, go to General Editing forum for help. Good luck!

and also a correct english tutorial is located else where
