Starbase 12 Problem
« on: May 27, 2009, 06:58:29 PM »
I'm having a problem with starbase twelve. Whenever I warp to the map, the starbase isn't there. I do not have Galaxy Charts installed, however I do have Zorg's Starbase installed. Yet I've never had this problem with Zorg's Starbase before.

The StarBase 12 system (and the Drydock system) are "special", they require extra steps not normally taken to properly function.

A custom system, such as Zorg's, does those extra steps themselves.
The reason that Starbase 12 doesn't do that is because the starbase is a special mission related object. Of course, some mods do those steps for you, for example Galaxy Charts.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

Actually GC doesn't do anything "special" in initializing systems. It calls the system Initialize function and all, like is normally done, and that's it. It's not my fault if the system wasn't scripted to initialize correctly...

Tho various months ago I wrote a little autoload script to fix this problem for the SB12 and DryDock systems and GC since a few people were having this problem (tho with GC) and/or the bases weren't dockable...
However, it was meant to be used alongside GC so it won't work without GC installed...

I was sure there was another mod/patch made to get those systems working....
As I recall I've had them working fine long before GC
