If you have bought 2 gate kits already you can tell the ship to setup the gates, the very last popup menu will want you to confirm that you want the gates setup and it will show the price.
If you don't have the money just select no and nothing will happen apart from you now knowing the cost.

I was wondering if anybody has had any issues with this script. When I place it into my game I get a ZA_blah_blah_blah appearing. If I remove it it will disappear. So I know that it is related to this script. If i am placing it in an already existing game do I need to kick something off in SE?

I do have EMP installed but I also have a good deal of other things installed including Apricot's Merge Mod. Ideas?

LV will need to update this to work with the updated EMP.

LV · Post by LV » Sun, 11. Jul 10, 18:52

I don't have the new emp installed as the plugin manager already has it leaving me to believe i need to wait for cycrow to update the PM before i fix

or i need to update the PM, have not checked yet

draffutt · Post by **draffutt** » Sun, 11. Jul 10, 18:58

as of version 1.2 of PM lite; it uses the fixed version of EMP

Got it. I will wait for the update before I try to reinstall this mod again.

LV · Post by LV » Mon, 12. Jul 10, 18:08

I've installed PM 1.2 an it's still appears fine

go into plugin.lv.build.gate.setcom and tell me if you do not see this

Code: Select all

Personally I am thinking that there is a conflict with your scripts and I a mod I have installed. I am going to be starting a new game soon and I plan to trim down the mods I have installed big time since many I do not seem to use. I will let you know if I still have issues.

Ok i've tried everything I could think of but i still can't even construct the gates. I have the Jumpgate Construction Software in my cargo bay (like 50 of them) and i've got 140mil credits but the Create gate command is still grayed out.

i used cheats to get the jumpgate software so i don't know if that effects it but i figured that it shouldn't. Or maybe it doesn't work in the custom X universe.

can you let me know if you have any idea of whats wrong?

LV · Post by LV » Tue, 13. Jul 10, 18:39

do what i said in my last post above or check your using a tm/tp/tl/m1

dpadula · Post by **dpadula** » Wed, 14. Jul 10, 00:02

@LV: It is interesting because I checked the script and it does not have that line in it. Instead of saying Jumpgate Construction Software it has ZA_EMP_BLANK_WARE_CUSTOM7_2.

So what do you think that issue might be because that is exactly what is displayed. Do I just need to edit that file and make it say JumpGate Construction Software?

Requiemfang · Post by **Requiemfang** » Wed, 14. Jul 10, 01:00

that's an EMP issue, the plugin manager has the latest files for EMP and you usually need to activate it with all the mods you use installed in there proper folders and what not. When you activate the plugin manager it creates a Tware.pck which is a compilation of all the items and such currently installed... I can't remember exactly but Cycrow said something about this already

dpadula · Post by **dpadula** » Wed, 14. Jul 10, 03:09

That is interesting. I am running the most recent beta of the Plugin Manager.

So which EMP is needed? Do I just need EMP or do I need EMP-X?

I tried with both and still get the same issue.

LV · Post by LV » Wed, 14. Jul 10, 16:57

dpadula if you click that ZA and open the var/ware option is the JCT in the list of wares to choose?

dpadula · Post by **dpadula** » Wed, 14. Jul 10, 23:33

@LV: I am not sure what you are asking. Do you mean if I go to that Terran Station and select the product that says ZA does it give me the proper information?

***UPDATE***

So I am still not sure what you were asking but here is an update. I started a brand new game and used a cheat script. I created an Elephant and jacked up my rep in Terran Sectors. I docked in Jupiter and bought 2 of the ZA items. Then under commands it does show under General to Create Gate. I even tried to create the gates and it worked just fine and I was able to use it. So any idea?? I guess for me that means it is just not displayed the software name correctly.

FYI... I am using 2.7.1.

LV · Post by LV » Thu, 15. Jul 10, 18:24

i knew i should have explained further

go into the script named above via the script editor, arrow down to that line and across to the za ware and either click it with your mouse or press enter

this will let you change the ware through the var/ware option, scroll through the list until you find the JCT and click it, now it will be linked in the command above

save, exit, voila

dpadula · Post by **dpadula** » Thu, 15. Jul 10, 18:35

Thanks I will give it a shot. I was thinking you might be talking about that but I did not want to assume and possibly mess something up in the script editor.

If this works.... Any idea why this might have happened?

***UPDATE***

So it was not as easy as you suggested but I got it working. I first turned off the Plugin under the AI. I then edited all of the plugin scripts that went with the JumpGate and replaced the ZA with the right thing. Once that was done I turned the Plugin back on and all is good now.

So thank you for all of the help.

Any idea why this might have happened?

Updated to fix emp problem, turn plugin off, leave for 10 mins turn back on and viola

If you have ZA_ wares in your ships hold manually run lib.lv.old.emp.warelist via the script editor (r,r,enter) and it will fix the problem and convert the to the new emp wares

So make sure you update my library's

I can't seem to get this to work, or else I don't know how to activate it or where to buy it.

Is this considered an artificial life plugin in the way it has to be activated from the gameplay commands? The artificial life function is grayed out, so I would assume not.

I have the new version of the EMP. I thought that I had installed correctly; Cyrow's advanced Jumpdrive shows up and works fine. The plugin manager 1.3 beta lists "Jumpgate Construction v1.2" and "Imperial Librarys v2.5" installed correctly.

Is there something else I'm missing?

I usually find them in Terran sectors on certain Terran stations
