Tradelane Naming
-
Hello, I’m Curri and I’m stumped…
Over at FW:ToW I’ve been tasked to give the hyperlanes (tradelanes) proper names but I cannot figure out what I’m missing. I’ve emulated how FL names these but cannot replicate.
What I’ve done:
I’ve added tradelane_space_name = to the first and last ring with the correct ids string.A zone for the tradelane
[Zone] nickname = Zone_Calamari_Perlemian_Kashyyyk_to_Checkpoint_Tradelane_1 ;pos = -115340, 0, 269740 - FLE Original pos = -115383, 0, 269718 ; - Re-Calculated with mid-ring rotate = 0, -49, 0 shape = BOX size = 3780, 3780, 100710 comment = . tradelane lane_id = 1 tradelane_down = 30 sort = 14 toughness = 1 density = 6 repop_time = 15 max_battle_size = 4 pop_type = major_tradelane relief_time = 15 encounter = area_cargos, 3, 0.4 faction = arakyd_grp, 0.1 faction = balmorran_arms_grp, 0.1 faction = blastech_grp, 0.1 faction = sorosuub_grp, 0.1 faction = core_civ_grp, 0.3 faction = tagge_grp, 0.1 faction = microdata_grp, 0.1 faction = smuggler_grp, 0.1 faction = republic_grp, 1 encounter = area_starfighters, 3, 0.2 faction = republic_grp, 1 encounter = area_frigates, 3, 0.05 faction = republic_grp, 1 encounter = area_transports, 3, 0.1 faction = arakyd_grp, 0.1 faction = blastech_grp, 0.1 faction = borstel_grp, 0.1 faction = balmorran_arms_grp, 0.1 faction = fabritech_grp, 0.1 faction = golan_grp, 0.05 faction = incom_grp, 0.1 faction = kdy_grp, 0.05 faction = koensayr_grp, 0.1 faction = sorosuub_grp, 0.1 faction = taim_and_bak_grp, 0.1 faction = republic_grp, 1 encounter = area_raiders, 3, 0.05 faction = pirate_grp, 0.3 faction = empire_grp, 0.7Which shows highlighted in the system map under Political Map tab.
And, just in case, encounter parameters:
[EncounterParameters] nickname = tradelane_cargos filename = TOW\missions\encounters\trade\area_cargos.ini [EncounterParameters] nickname = tradelane_starfighters filename = TOW\missions\encounters\wander\area_starfighters.ini [EncounterParameters] nickname = tradelane_frigates filename = TOW\missions\encounters\wander\area_frigates.ini [EncounterParameters] nickname = tradelane_transports filename = TOW\missions\encounters\trade\area_transports.ini [EncounterParameters] nickname = tradelane_raiders filename = TOW\missions\encounters\wander\area_raiders.ini [EncounterParameters] nickname = tradelane_scouts filename = TOW\missions\encounters\wander\area_scouts.iniDon’t know what else could be missing other than modifying some other *.ini like asteroids, nebulae and rings…
The worst thing I’ve found out is that, even if it has an ids_name, it will not show it on the scanner box. Only the Sector Name, Grid

Did you modify anything else but the system ini file for typing the trade lane’s name?
If you did not, then you may need to use reshacker for the mod’s dll to type the trade lane’s name.I don’t know what you mean. These entries are directly from the system, Calamari.ini to be exact.

It sounds like the tradelane rings don’t have an NPC faction associated with them, which is why they’re showing up as “Sector Name, Grid.” I’ve noticed this myself with tradelanes when I took away their owning npc faction, as they changed from “X Faction Trade Lane Ring” to “Sector Name, Grid.”

This is a correctly working and labeled 3 ring tradelane (beginning, middle and end). If you have the space names as shown then search elsewhere for the problem (did you make the actual entries in the dll?)

Here’s the Ring code. Seven rings. I don’t see any major differences for yours.

They all do, no problem there.

I notice your position numbers are gigantic!
pos = -153141, 0, 302340
I would think 300k out would be a huge problem as this is normally off the grid (which can be adjusted, I know). Try an experiment by moving a section of it to near center of system and see if it now works.
I know this nav map quirk may not affect names in space for tradelanes, but you never know. To check it is quick.
