shortest_illegal_path.ini
shortest_legal_path.ini
systems_shortest_path.ini

reads for me, we have a system with 20 JG/JH.

Delete the path files, apply Adoxa’s patch (if necessary)
and start your server. It will create new pathfiles for you.
That’s the very best ‘tool’ for creating those, you can get.

And maybe try to describe your problem a bit more.

woops lol did not mean it like that, was trying to say we have added 20 other systems before without a problem so was wondering why now lol, due to editing some of the jh and jg in other systems which are located on diffrent .dlls will that still work, i dont no if it mucked up because i edited the systems which belong to one dll but it was saving the info on another dll?

Did u give ur plyrs the new files?
Did u clean the plyr files on the server?

In my experience those kinds of problems occur when you CHANGE something that otherwise exists in a players files. For example, you can ADD a planet to the New York system and vanilla players won’t see it but it won’t affect them. Unless they run into it of course…

But, if you CHANGE anything about Planet Manhattan they will crash.

Re: the dll file. I’ve also noticed that adding more than one dll file seems to cause the references in the dll files to change. Using a program like FLIDReferrer, see what the references in the strings and infocards are. If they’ve changed due to the addition of the new dll you might need to incorporate the info into one file.

Hello Lancer! Need to catch up!
Is there a player file cleaner, i updated all player files at the same time of the server being updated, but not sure how to clean player files?

@Robocop O dear is all i can say lol, the mod currently uses 3 .dlls 2 added originaly and 1 added by me to store my info cards in, now i might have to try to put it all into 1 dll, If i do this will the program no where to look if i just dump it all into one?

ok i have tried the player cleaner on a updated server version with a player file i no was having issues, and the crash still occurred

Delete all visit entrys in that file and try again.
If that solves the problem than you’ll know where the problem comes from.
If not you’ll know where it doesn’t come from
