    • Strange Linking


      I've been working on making the map for a plugin. However, Nova seems to think that all the systems should connect to 128 (along with all their defined links). For the life of me, I can't figure out why it's doing this. Stranger still, with 1.01 it shows the links but refuses to let me jump. I've made sure each link is defined in both s˙st resources, and I've created empty s˙sts to block out Nova's. Has anyone experienced this problem too or know how to fix it?

      Make sure Novatools is set to be using Resource ID(RID) instead of Index numbers(IDX). If you set unused links to zero while it is in index mode, it will think you mean 128. For unused links, use -1 instead of zero. That's all I can think of. In Nova, s˙st 128 is Kania. Try overwriting every single s˙st in Nova, and set up a chär resource to put you into the appropriate system, and make a new pilot file. Make sure that your unused systems aren't co-located with any other systems. That's all I can think of right now.

    • Did all those. It was already set to resource IDs instead of indexes, and for unused I use -1. As I said, I overwrote everything.

    • Hmm, there was no trouble when i blocked all the Nova systems out for my TC. Although i think that they should have made it so that it doesn't "assume" the links so that i wouldn't have had to waste all that space.

      You probably have a bug in your plug-in. You may have to start from scratch.
