Quick! Answer this question about spobs!

Okay, I need help. Scary, I know.

I use NovaTools to set the spob coordinates within a syst, but when I load the plug in Nova it has all of the spobs piled on top of each other at (0,0).

Why!?!

And how do I make it work?

What coordinates are you using? Maybe it's a question of scale. Try increasing the values and see if it makes a difference.

Hi,

Quick isn't the awnser here. How many spöbs do you want to add? What are there current coördinates? etc...

Please give some more info.

Entarus,

I am trying to add 7 spobs.

1 is at (0,0)
2: (-84,-75)
3: (-190,349)
4: (320,-779)
5: (-810,-190)
6: (488,-649)
7: (386,-696)

I can only select the first 4, since they are all on top of each other, but none of the others show up on the mini-map, so I must assume they are under the others.

Hmm... lots of punctuation... lack of patience...

Wait, why isn't the karma button working? Dangit! He's a mod now! 😛

Yeah, we'll probably need a little more information before we can help you. (edit: oops, you provided some while I was typing)

Have you tried doing the same thing with TMPLs? They are sometimes more reliable for some things.

Hmmm... Those numbers look reasonable. Are your graphics (spďns, rlëDs, rlë8s) up to spec? I'm not sure what the results would be if your spöb(s) pointed at an invalid graphic resource.

If you'd like, you could email me the relevant portions of the plug (s˙st, spöbs, spďns, rlëDs, rlë8s) and I'll take a look at it and see if there's anything obviously wrong.

Well, they were all referencing the same Graphic, the Earth graphic. Earth showed up fine, but none of the others did. I haven't added any graphics, I'm just using stock for now, so they graphcis should be fine.

Ok, I made a quick plug to add a syst with seven spobs using your coordinates and the Earth graphic (by dupping Earth seven times and changing the location for each). All seven planets showed up just fine for me. So there must be something wrong with the way you made yours.

Eh, mini-map? I didn't know Nova had that feature. If you are using one of the grpahical Nova editors, it might be a bug issue with editors...

Radar. Smart ass. And I thought it might be a problem with the graphical editor, so I did it in NovaTools and the graphical one placed them fine, but Nova couldn't seem too.

I'll assume that it is a glitch in the plug and recreate the spobs.
