Messing with new stations design

[antoniut]

I've been messing (copypasting) to make a new station. It works well ingame, it produces wares, buy, sell, etc, all very nice, but observed two issues:

In zone map if I click the + sign of the station, the map freezes, (windows key, return to game and it solves) but I cant see the parts of the station

And second: I've seen an arawn crossing by the middle of the station with total impunity

It is due to the fact that I have to use the collision and lod files from the original station? (I cant convert it with the xmf-dae converter)

One more thing: what are the XU_Waypoints in component XML files?

Thanks a lot

more info needed. i think the game doesnt like one of the attached macros..

if you yourself dont collide with the Station there is probaby something wrong with the collision mesh, yes. but if you have only used referenced parts it should be taken from them..

Masstraffic.

I spent some time fiddling with a custom station prior to 2.50 but found CTD issues which I could not trace the cause of My best guess though is the mass traffic waypoints and docks not aligning correctly.

I think all is OK but I'll take a look

Skunk collides well with station. But in game build_trees folder, in the station data folder, there are (example): "assets_structures_build_trees__struct_bt_ol_drone_complex-collision.xmf" and "assets_structures_build_trees__struct_bt_ol_drone_complex-lod0.xmf" so, what are they?

It can be eliminated then from file if not needed? (masstrafic, I'm saying)

Thanks

Solved! Was as easy as put some weapons platforms to build in a second stage (all was put to build everything at once) Now build plan and build costs of the station appears in encyclopedia
