I put that mission there becuase i needed a "backdoor" so i could easily access all my new weaps and such. The mission is going to removed before a beta...

I see. It's there for testing purposes. Now about those weapons...

The blackhole weapon is 100tons therefore getting rid of being able to fit on most ships. Plus it cost a mil, so it sort of is fair. The methane particle cannon isnt realyl fair though, i guess.

He's still building it, JacaByte! He'll probably alter a lot of things before actually releasing it!

Leave him alone!

Okay. I'm just making suggestions. Sort of...

Yeah, but you commented on the weapons, and then did it again when he didn't decide you were right.

He likes his weapons as they are. If no one else does, they won't use the plug-in, or they'll change it when they do.

I'm sorry! Alright? Now leave me alone!

No!!!

:ninja:

So, uh...anyways, does anyone know why the hypergates are not working? I still cant get em to work.

The hypergates work perfectly.

I shall say no more. Except that I could use the version that has graphics in it.

Then why does it not work on mine? The HG galinthor connects with HG Barbados and the stock hypergates. But the stock hypergates dont connect with HG Galinthor, even though ive set the hyperlinks correctly...i believe.

That will come as soon as i can fix these few problems and when i finish the editing the descs. Also, i need to finish creating my ships or atleast finding ship graphics that i can use.

Then either something's wrong with your data files or you have other plugs interfering.

Well, i just instaleld the game about a week ago, so i doubt its that. And theres no other plugs running except one that gives a few outfits, so im not sure. The debuglog doesnt say anyhtign about a Hypergate unless im blind. :huh:

Heres the debuglog just in case:

(Manticore chagnes the logon screen to an edited image. It'll be in a plugin soon once i finish 8 other logon pictures. Ship targets is just for shield bubbles and the shipyard pic. The other plugins are just outfits needed so i can test out the different things inside my plugin.)

Well just try it without any plugs except the hypergate one and see what happens. Maybe start a new pilot or something.

I just tried it, with just Galinthor plugs and a hypergate access so that i can use the hypergates. The hypergates still dont connect correctly. HG galinthor connects with the ones its supposed to, but hte only hypergate that connects back to it, is just HG Barbados. So...uh...i dont know why its working on yours and not on mine. :huh:

Emphasis mine.
It is almost certain that that hypergate access plug modifies the hypergates. Try getting rid of it and testing with a pilot that already has hypergate access. If you wish, you could add a simple mission that has "k147" in its OnAccept field, to grant access to the hypergate network without modifying the gates themselves.

Edwards

THe hypergate acces plugin allows you to buy a "card" that grants access to the hypergates. Basically you buy the hypergate access rank. I checked it out, the only thing in the outfit is the k147 in the OnBuy field and the removal in the OnSell field. So the hypergates aren't modified, its just a shortcut to the rank. Very helpful i must admit. :laugh:

But that could also be where you're snagging. I'm testing with a pilot who got hypergate access through the Sigma string. I don't how it would, though, but it's one less thing to worry about.

I'll try it as well.

On a possibly unrelated notes, you may want to twiddle things to remove those assumed reciprocal links (i.e. don't force the game to assume them). It has been known to cause some problems in Nova, especially older versions.

Alright, that shouldn't take to long.
