well, the planet is an object group too, and yes, u do need to add a docking ring in front of the planet u make, Problem is, I've tried creating my own base to dock to by copying available info, and FL simply doesn't wanna know. When I tell it to use an existing base ini file, it works fine, but when I take off, I find myself flying around outside the base/planet the ini file belongs to. (Eg manhattan) which is a bit odd. Anyway, that's my current situation. The Zones are useful, btw but not actually needed to put the planet into FL. I managed to do it without adding any new zones.

Dawn how close to the Colorado jump hole is the jump to DA1 ?
Is the jump hole visible on the Nav Map ?

Colorado is located at C3

HMMM i think in one of the dlls are the names etc. if someone finds it. please post.

its nameresources.dll, i posted some info here

hmm..ive entered everthing like you said to and i cant seem to find either jumpgate or base, but i did find a station called rochester station, is that it?

Well, managed to get docking to a planet working, it was actually something Dawn missed out of that cool tutorial. Whenever u create a new base/system, u must also reference it in data\universe\universe.ini

eg:

[Base
nickname = Li01_01_Base
system = Li01
strid_name = 196766
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Li01_01_Base.ini
BGCS_base_run_by = W02bF35

and:

[system
nickname = Li01
file = Systems\Li01\Li01.ini
pos = 7, 8
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_Li01
visit = 1
strid_name = 196609
ids_info = 66106


Oh - And no zones were used in getting this to work - Which also kinda means there's no atmosphere effect around the planet, only way u can kill yerself would be to fly right into it

How come I end up in an endless Jump tunnel?

Or is that just in the demo...

where is the jump tunnel??!! ive looked all over liberty!

found it, but i had to edit the location of the jump gate to the right alittle bit, its right next to the california gate, not the colorado gate.

Sorry to all. but i forgot one thiing as one of said right. the entry in the in the universe.ini. look above in this thread. i add it as soon as possible.

Sorry again. But it was a lot of things

Have a nice day
Dawn

Dawn what exactly did you forgot? I don't see anything missing?

I have a question, if the server edit the files and run the server again, must the clients also have the new files to see the new jump gate? I think they must don't they?

And if the client edit some files, and the server don't..., how does it react on eachother?

I think everything that has to do with the loading of ini files are server side in MP. Only thing the clients can do is use memory hacks.

ok i didn´t forget anything but someone thought i did
you have to read careful eisen
