in the file: data\solar\solararch.ini
you declare a new jumpgateI

ids_info = 66145
type = JUMP_GATE
DA_archetype = solar\dockable\jump_gateI.cmp

material_library = fx\envmapbasic.mat
envmap_material = envmapbasic

then let's say the jumgate is from New York (Li01) to California (Li02)
in the file: data\universe\systems\li01\li01.ini
you declare

difficulty_level = 1
goto = Li02, Li02_to_Li01, gate_tunnel_bretonia
loadout = jumpgate_li_01
pilot = pilot_solar_easiest


hope these will help
I assume you have all the hardpoints in places (HpDockMountA, HpFX7,...)
-------------------
but then again, the 2 beacons are just 2 small lights, and you just want to attach to the regular jumpgate, right ?
that will be a different story
that's placing an object on another object in space.
that will be easy too.
just find the coordinate of the jumpgate, and then place 2 beacons on top of the jumpgates
the coordinates are in the file data\universe\systems\li01\li01.ini (for example)

Nope: the beacons are on their own. Well I'm kinda hoping he's put the docking hardpoints on. If he hasn't what do I do?

No he hasn't. What hardpoints do we add?

I think the docking hp is HP_Dock, that is unless thats only stations?

I want a pet flying monkey. Should I check Ebay or the Black Market?

I thought it was HPdockmount01 ?

Tell you what, have a look at a jumpgate model in milkshape - or just use the UTF editor - and check what hardpoints there are in there. Ignore any that are lights - just look for dock - and positions etc - as that will determine stuff like the approach or something.

Hm maybe it will work: but what animations will it use?

OKAY! I decided to add my beacons to a jumphole. One problem though! The jumphole model won't opem!
