Looking for path generator or a copy of flscan that works with ms 7

Friendlyfire is correct

However, for future reference, google is your friend if my things “disappear”

First result is working location

Wait, are we talking about shortest_path.ini files?

[FriendlyFire]

What other paths ARE there?

Just to provide a refresher and detail…

If you delete any or all of the path files, FL will regenerate it/them automatically on startup.

BUT:

If you have more than 10 jumpholes/jumpgates in one or more systems, the recreation will fail. I had this bug and it took me ages to find out the cause. Of course, it worked for everyone who didn’t have more than 10 jumps, and I was again the odd man out.

This (more than 10 jumps) also caused random crashes in my mod on entry into that system! But nobody else has this problem either.

At least I’ve alerted you to these problems.

thanks i got it all taken care of thanks to chips.

The crash was fixed here (limits to 10, not an actual fix).

FL does not consider locked gates when generating the paths, but the Path Generator does.

A caveat regarding Path Generator seeming to potentially be better than FL in this thread…

Path Generator doesn’t read the compressed files, whereas I assume FL does without issue

So swings and roundabouts. I never looked at what exactly bini format was, so never implemented anything for it.

Yours is an excellent tool nonetheless, Chips.
