[Tool/Mod] X4 Chem Gate Builder

[ChemODun]

In Direct mode builder on save creates a chem_gate_keeper extension in extensions subfolder in game folder.
Can you see it in a list of extensions before you load save or start new game?
Can you share the folder chem_gate_keeper with me?
And in addition - please start game with debug log, for example like it described there.
And share the log with me too.

I don't see it in extensions.
Also I only see a save button and not a create button. I have verson 0.10.2.0 if that means anything.

Would a another mode mess Chem Gate Builder up?

I will try the dabug log another time and remove the modes apart from X Universe + / as of 7.5 mod which I got them maps on

[ChemODun]

After gate creation, did you saved it?

Excuse me, but can't understand what are you doing ...

There is how gate creation is works in direct mode:


After this, after game start, chem_gate_keeper is immediately available in the list of extensions, installed to game, in the settings part of menu.

I did save it by useing the save button top left. I did follow your video too but no luck. You said "Excuse me, but can't understand what are you doing .." I follow what was in video and nothing more but did not work


Edit: It works now. Found out why it was not working before. My anti virus software was blocking it. Thank you for your hard work and patience with me

[ChemODun]

Glad to know that everything is working.
And, for sure, you are welcome!

And thanks for the update. Later, when will return home, will update in documentation this unpredictable, for me, behaviour of antivirus.
If you don't mind, please share the antivirus name.

[Dragonfox]

antivirus name called Comodo

Superp , as always.

Only a sugestion , not meant to be offensive:
Now bring your 2 mod together : Clusters Relocation and Gate Builder .
Make it so , that one could relocate a cluster and simple delete existing gate connections and make new ones in one programm.

That would be my wet dream.

[ChemODun]

Thanks for the supportive feedback.
And I'm always open for ideas.
Regarding this - currently for me is simpler to make it separately, but ... will think.
