Inside Nomad Lair/Lair Core

robocop

I moved the jumps 500m closer to the center of the system.
The core is at 0, 0, -1119
jump enter is at 0, 0, 875 (from 0, 0, 1375)
and
jump exit is at 0, 0, -1066 (from 0, 0, -1566)

I still jump in outside the core.

I see what you’re saying about the jump tunnels. The lair jumps are indeed positioned vertically. Perhaps there’s something in the jump_effect or the gate_tunnel that could be adjusted to compensate.

I heard Monkey Universe has this working properly. Perhaps Worfeh could chime in?

No, i mean this - Just move the core to the coords where you jump in.

You may not touch jumps - they working only as one-way hole.

The last seven jumps into the ‘system’ dropped me to these coordinates:

Jump 1: -394, -306, -715
Jump 2: -143, -476, -715
Jump 3: 432, 250, -716
Jump 4: -477, 67, -715
Jump 5: 150, -474, -715
Jump 6: -421, -268, -717
Jump 7: -157, 478, -715

The only numbers that seem to have any commonality are the last set of the coordinates.

So, I don’t think moving the core to the jump-in coordinates is going to help. there’s as much as a 900+ disparity in the x? coordinate, and as much as a 950+ disparity in the z? coordinate.

I tried turning the jumps back into airlocks but couldn’t figure out how to make them dock.

I wonder if Adoxa has a plugin that does what I need…

heads off to browse his site

Edit: Nope, only see a plugin that provides for jumpholes with a random exit point. Interesting idea…

We’re really missing his magic! I have a feeling he might have found himself a more worthy cause for his awesome sauce. Just have to thank our lucky stars he gave us as much as he did while he did I guess.

He did say he’d be AWOL for a while.
Though, he deserves a break methinks, so lets drop the WOL.

#9 Robcop intresting research!

I had a look in the mission12.ini and in SP i think the script sets the player position:

[Trigger]
nickname = key_to_core
system = St02c
Cnd_True = no_params
Act_SetInitialPlayerPos = 20, 31, 1286, 0, 0, 1, 0
Act_ActTrig = in_the_core

I think it controls the airlock docking too:

[Trigger]
system = St02
nickname = initiate_airlock_sequence
Cnd_DistVec = inside, Player, -1368, 124, -1249, 500
Act_DockRequest = St02_lair_enter

This is un-tested so no idea if this will help you or not, but i thought i better mention it just incase.

This is true! Watch the video from 10:40

Maybe one of the solutions is Limit Breaking 101?

2000f 	common.dll 	13E678 	fox 	how far behind a jumpgate a player will be spawned - from this point, the player will be thrown forward at exceptional speed until he/she has reached the gate

If all else fails you could just try and resize the damn core cmp. Make it big enough and you’ll end up inside it whatever happens

Well, I suppose I could try that, but most often the player ship gets spawned to the side of the core, not outside the end of it.

I’ve done all in my limited knowledge and have not found a solution yet. Perhaps one day Adoxa will return and come up with one of his famous 5-minute fixes.
