[SCR] No notoriety loss from hitting jumpgates

English / Deutsch

Damaging a jumpgate in any way is no longer an illicit action. The things are indestructible after all...

It can never cause loss of notoriety and local stations or ships do not mind.

As a side effect, the "Attack my Target" turret script does no longer shoot at jumpgates, either.
Although you have to admit that it was funny, watching your multi-million credit high-tech destroyer attack an indestructible jumpgate! Again, and again, and...

This is an AL Plugin so it can be turned off if desired.

Installation:

No, this only changes the owner race of the gates. It does not turn off collisions.

Thanks Gazz for the reply.

I can confirm its not your mod, so I hope I did not upset you.
Not sure what is doing it but it is certainly annoying.

Umm... The link seems broken. It goes to: http://www.egosoft.com/img/button_download.gif

Signature link works... I'll just use that.

I have the mod set to "Yes" in the AL panel and I just got a notoriety hit from hitting a gate? Is this compatible with RRF ? Since the sector ownerships change, maybe it's masking out a notoriety hit for the wrong race ? Just guessing...

Did the ownership change while you were in the sector?

Of course the script doesn't check this continously since that would be quite an odd event.

New version released: Altered searching for gates.

Previously only the first 21 gates in each sector would be found.
If you were using some creatively done galaxy map or script, some gates may have been ignored.
Personally I haven't been able to reproduce such a case but *shrug*...

I thought gates were hard coded to 4 per sector. That is some creative script

Back in Reunion they did indeed all have IDs from 0 to 5 or so.
In TC the TOA use higher IDs to begin with and gates can also be placed by scripts.
And since a gate ID can be any integer, who knows where they all end up.

it depends which gate id your talking about, as gates actually have 3 ids, one refers to the type, and is based on the TGates file, this gives the higher ids for TOA and Hub gates.

however, the gates also have a sector id, which id the gate is in within the sector, this is between 0 and 5.

the other is the linking id.

this does limit the number of fully functional gates per sector to 6. you can however have more gates, but any more than 6 and the rest are only 1 way, you can only link to 6 gates from outside, so only the first 6 gates can have ships jumping in through them, but all extra gates can be used to jump out of the sector

Used to be. =)

If a gate is a TOA then it has a sector gate ID > 10 or so.

Is this compatible with AP?

If installing your mods for AP, should I install them into the Addon folder within the main Terran Conflict folder?
