[MD]How to change a name of non-vanilla sector?

[Falconek]

I use following code with mission director

Code: Select all

          <find_sector name="L2Mxxx.UKS" x="20" y="20"/>
          <set_sector_override sector="L2Mxxx.UKS" textid="10300020"/>

where "10300020" is text entry on page 17.

This works perfectly for vanilla sectors. But when i add a custom sector, and try to use this procedure, sector name remains "20-20". Any ideas what may be wrong and how to solve it?

I am kinda interested in how you added a non-Vanilla sector.

@Falconek, find where the custom sector's name is set, in a text file i'd imagine. Download Doubleshadow's old X3 Editor (the one with the galaxy editor), open up the map file containing the custom sector, and locate it in the list, that should give you all the info you need.

Thanks! This is what I needed.

Note: Those vanilla Text-IDs use the coordinates for identification.

Thus: <t id="10300020"> will be the sector at the position x=00 and y=20

No, it's:

<t id="1030121"> for y=0 and x=20.

Depends on whether you count Kingdom's End as 1 or 0.

[Trickmov]

The inGame coordinates are always 0/0

EDIT:
and the text-entry for Kingdom's End is:

<t id="1030101"> for y=0 and x=0.

where "10300020" is text entry on page 17.

That won't work, MD only reads from page 7 (and all its variants), this is where sector names are.

Other than that your code is correct.

PS.: You can always lookup in MUS how its done, Link in signature.

I will have to check if <set_sector_override> will work after changing page to 7, that could be the error.
But so far, I like the method with checking in galaxy editor original text ids assigned to these empty sectors, and adding them to my own text file with text I need.
It seems, that ids of "empty" sectors don't have corresponding entries in vanillia text files. This way I don't even need to use <set_sector_override>, cause names that I want, are assigned when I load my text file and map file.

I will have to check if <set_sector_override> will work after changing page to 7,

again, if you look in MUS you will see that it does work, according to users that use it and have made their adjustments it works fine.
