Need help with costum galaxy map 00749.bod file

Post by Zeron-mk7 »

I have costum galaxy map xml and 00749 bod file, 300 sectors MAP from author "Date Lejess"
http://radikal.ru/F/s48.radikal.ru/i121 ... 9.gif.html
There are full 300 sectors galaxy map, ok all works fine in game, but there are no all sectors connected with gates. I need galaxy map where are all 300 sectors 100% connected with all gates. I try connected in galaxy map xml sectors with gates where are no gates, but to show in game i need 00749 bod file, i try replace in game directory "cut/" 00749 bod and pbd files from bod_map v04, but doesn't helps, in game don't show my new gates. I understand, gates doesn't shows in game because in 00749 bod file are not all sector box connected with gates.
I dont have too many time and brain cells to creat itself 00749.bod file with all 300 sector boxs with all sector gate connection, so i need your greatest minds help, maybe somebody already was created something like that, or know how to fix this problem easy.
I was very grateful for any help and that very help me with my first mod.

I don't know if this 00749.bod has every possible connection build in. I never checked this because there are so many entries (I thought it has :? ).

I found that adding a connection doesn't show up in map immediately. It only shows up after starting a new game. Maybe that's the reason why it doesn't get displayed?

But anyway, be careful with so many connections. I haven't confirmed this (maybe someone else knows for sure), but it seems there is a limit of lines in 00749.bod that X2 can handle - at least for Mac. If this is right, it may lead to CTD if someone accesses the galaxy map....

I will take a look at the 00749 to check if all connections are enabled. If not, you're on your own (unless someone else is willing to do it), because I have neither the time to do it.

EDIT:
Ok, I checked the 00749 (guess this is the same as yours - from some russian guy): it has all connections built in. If a connection doesn't show up, this is due to either:
- you added the connection after loading the map
- some limitation in X2
- or an error in the naming of the parts in 00749.
