Hmmm... Interesting problem Coredump...

I've got a copy of the code I have for my Planet Manhatten... Here is it, but remember that I've changed the name to fit Da01, and the location along with any other varibles that I've had to...

[zone
nickname = Zone_Da01_001_Planet_Da01_02
pos = -86020, 0, 38075
rotate = 0, 104, 0
shape = SPHERE
size = 7000
comment = Manhattan
sort = 1
toughness = 1
density = 12
repop_time = 10
max_battle_size = 8
pop_type = li_p_grp, base_cluster_law
relief_time = 10
faction_weight = li_n_grp, 12
faction_weight = li_n_grp_prisoners, 4
faction_weight = co_be_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_hsp_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_kt_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_me_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_nws_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_ni_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_os_grp, 4
faction_weight = co_rs_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_shi_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_ss_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_vr_grp, 8
faction_weight = gd_bh_grp, 3
density_restriction = 4, unlawfuls
encounter = area_defend, 1, 0.070000
faction = li_n_grp, 1.000000
encounter = area_bh_defend, 1, 0.030000
faction = gd_bh_grp, 1.000000
encounter = area_armored_prisoner, 1, 0.020000
faction = li_n_grp, 1.000000
encounter = area_trade_freighter, 1, 0.090000
faction = co_hsp_grp, 0.260000
faction = co_me_grp, 0.260000
faction = co_ss_grp, 0.260000
faction = co_vr_grp, 0.210000
encounter = area_trade_transport, 1, 0.120000
faction = co_be_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_hsp_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_kt_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_me_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_nws_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_ni_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_rs_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_shi_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_ss_grp, 0.100000
faction = co_vr_grp, 0.080000
encounter = area_trade_armored, 1, 0.020000
faction = co_os_grp, 1.000000
encounter = area_lifter, 1, 0.030000
faction = co_me_grp, 0.500000
faction = co_ss_grp, 0.500000
encounter = area_repair, 1, 0.030000
faction = co_me_grp, 0.500000
faction = co_ss_grp, 0.500000

This has worked for me... Unfortunatly, I do not have any enemy striking craft yet, I'm still working on finishing the objects in the system first... Being a University Student, exams and my girl come first! I hope that you can get something from this!

*grrrrr*
Not better. Maybe there is something wrong in my system definition.
Thanks anyway

I cant get this working. Everything is fine in system. But no ships.
I tried editing a zone in around my Station. Have the nicknames right but nothing. go to launch from station and crash, just from editing the Nicknames. Is there another file link to this at all. The zone is just the zone number right. and the stations is the number of the station the zone is around. Sounds simple but not working.

The reason your system is probley crashing is beacuse for each of the encoutner things you need to add these

[EncounterParameters
nickname=tradelane_armored_prisoner
filename=missions\encounters\tradelane_armored_prisoner.ini

for each enouter your going to use. Baicly just copy and paste all these from like li01 past it near the beging of yours and then try your zones they should work. Otherwise you guys are on the right step thoese zones is what creates traffic. Hope the helps clear things up, maybe one of these days i will sit down and write a through step by step tutorial of creating a system. One of these days

I forgot to mention that... You have to have the encounter info that was in the last post by Quickshot... Sorry everyone!

As I said before : "I copy a zone with "encounter" parameters, and all encounter definitions", I have also copied all archetype definitions.

There is probably something else

I have just downloaded some files from Privater X Mod and I can read some nickname zone :
"Hm01_03"
"Dock_Ring_Hm01_03"
"Zone_Hm01_Helen_death"
"Zone_Hm01_001_Planet_Hm01_03_atmosphere_burn"
"Zone_Hm01_001_Planet_Hm01_03"
Where I use
"Corellian_Planet_Talus"
"Corellian_Planet_Talus_Docking_Ring"
"Corellian_Planet_Talus_Death"
"Corellian_Planet_Talus_Atmosphere"
"Corellian_Planet_Talus_Populate"

Is there a specific way to write nickname ?

I have rename all my nicknames and it is not better...
This make me crazy

I have just got it !
I think the prob came from the fact I haven't added my new factions to factionprop.ini, even if I don't use them... Oops

HEHEHEHEHE
Im glad me going insane over zones and traffic etc is not a condition that is unique to my existance

lol yeah the zones are a pain in the ass, the encounter params are a pain in the ass, the patrol paths are a pain in the ass as well

Damn... damn again... I tried modding a system together. It didn't work, and not just because I'm a total n00b to modding. I had a good ID, tried to build a system with one jump gate, 2 bases and 1 planet. I thought let's test it after I've finished one base. Next thing I knew was that the game crashed. Obviously I'm doing something wrong... Plz HELP ME!

WOW great tutorial! But I have one question(even thogh might not be answered), in the market_ships.ini, how do I get the ships(Wolfhound Titan and Hammer Head ) to be buyable at the sation?

Does anybody know which is the file which I can edit to change the names of planets and stations? Beacuse I searched the forums and the Freelancer files and still cannot find the right file. Cna somebody please guide me here? Is it in a .dll file? If so, how do I open it?
