If you need any help making an installer, let me know; I've gotten pretty good at NSIS scripts .

Can any-one tell me if patrols work?
'Cause I don't want to end up throwing the whole mod in the bin, only 'cause the patrols aren't working.

Some pleaz tell me

The ones who have havn't...
The ones who don't do...

fangmans, thanks i'll test that soon.

About the patrols some seems to work , some don't. So if you want to be safe , don't use it. (Or make a copy each time before

Kendo THM, i have fixed the deletion of a patrol (via zone selection)
It seems that having a population zone at the start of the patrol is vital. I'll have to check more what are the criteria.

fangmans, the bug is fixed now in the new 1.6.5.0 version available now.
Thanks again for the report.

I tried, won't let me select, I click on the select button, nothing happens, I click on the select next button, no response.

BTW, How can I get planets and station populated and populate the systems I create? I tried the zone population but it didn't work. and I tried trade lane traffic also, nothing. I can't even get a mission board so I can get credits in the game.

ok, I got the link think to work. But it doesn't. I make the nebula, then I make a exclusion zone. I select the nebula and click link exclusion. I select the exclusion zone and Add. OK, ADD, APPLY CHANGES....Play the game, no exclusion zone. I want an empty space inside the nebula that you can see inside. Like ithica research station in new york. I cn't ge this to work. HELP!!!

MLEdele

I have the same problem with Zone populations and Trade lane Traffic. Nothing seems to happen, even tho I put a zone near one of my bases, nothing shows.

Also, it may be just me but, I added a Asteroid field to one of my systems, and although it appeared in the game, it didn't show up on the nav map, even tho when I hovered over the general area, it displayed its name in a tooltip.

What am I doing wrong???

I think the Editor creates such nebulae with a visit value that doesn't make it show up on the nav map. When your system is finished, it might be worth opening the system ini file and setting the visit values so that they do appear on the nav map (1 I think).

Can anybody here tell me what files i would have to pass on to somebody else for them to see the system i creat please.


Many Thanks

if you've made a mod from using this program everything you created should be in that folder...jus zip it and send it to ur friend

MLEdele, i have made some changes for the exclusion zones and i am tested it successfully with an asteroids field so far, i'll check the nebula next.

Salamander, i'll check the population zone too then
JSWY, i have tried visit=1 but it doesnt change a lot I can't figure out why it's not showing the nebula/asteroid field. No idea.

If someone managed to do it manually, can you send me the files thanks.

I'll post a new version soon with more fixes.

Post Fri Jun 06, 2003 9:48 pm

it does not make a dir this prog, it has just made me a file *******.dll

Anybody any ideas.
