Jumping into crön-controlled system crashes Nova!

I have a system that is set to appear on only one day of the year, but when I jump in, Nova crashes.

Have you checked to make sure Nova isn't crashing for any other reason? The first thing I'd look for it if any stellars you have in the system use correct graphics.

Try removing the visibility conditions and see if the system acts normally.

Oh... Graphics might be an issue...
/me runs off to check on it.

EDIT: I just checked the debuglog, and found this: "warning: player is in inactive system 1000 and no active equivalent could be found - reactivating system 1000 instead" I think that means that it isn't a visbit problem and probably is a graphics problem. Thanks.

Okay, it was a graphics problem. But, now I have a different problem: The wormhole that I put in the system freezes Nova when landed on.

One day? How would you land at a planet if the day when you jumped in was the only day it was active? When you took off, it would crash...

Are you sure you've linked the wormhole correctly? And Froggy's comment might be worth looking into...

For that matter, as soon as you jumped into the system, it would no longer be the day when the system was active.

It is better to feed the goat than it is today.

Well, if there is an equivalent system normally active, there shouldn't be a problem.

No, if you arrived on the day, it would appear... but how, then, would you plot a course to it if it's not there when you go to plot a course?

Extend it to a week.

I think it's still asking for trouble. Unless you use a cron and a mission to move the player when the system hid itself again.

It sounds like a really funky idea if you can get it to work.

Oh! I just had a though! Maybe the wormhole is having issues because of the cron. I don't know how the engine would handle it if a wormhole is linked only sometimes. As I keep suggesting, get the system working without the cron...
