Playfield Issue

[Madcat529]

Real quick, trying to add a playfield to existing sector (done many times) and according to the game I have accomplished that. BUT it doesn't show it exists on sector map. Teleporting there, and opening the sector map brings up an error I cannot find in the logs.

Anyone know the deal?

You have to have a warp line to the new playfield. Also, you may have to delete the cache for your current game or start a new game to see if the playfield is available.

[Madcat529]

There is a warp line (3) and Worm holes (7) going to it in code, but because it doesn't show on sector map they don't "Exist".

I have also started fresh games to troubleshoot, same issue occurs

[Madcat529]

Actually really need help though, if anyone has any other ideas or knows of a fix.

Here is a snipit from a sectors.yaml

# Liackoum Omega Station
- Coordinates: [-280, 20, -160]
SectorMapType: Station
Allow: [Zikkat Upsilon Station, Lorana Phi Station]
Deny: [Chiddural Orbit, Fostion Orbit, Zircis Orbit, Buoll Orbit, Luvendis Orbit, Icadonus Orbit, Kedrae Orbit, Ganakarta Orbit]
Playfields:
- ['0, 0, 0', Liackoum Omega Station, Liackoum Omega Station]

How does that compare to your new playfield entry?

- Coordinates:
- 187
- 0
- -39
Color: 9, 0, 0
Icon: Triangle
OrbitLine: true
SectorMapType: None
Playfields:

Your entry is incorrect. The game doesn't recognize your new playfield because it doesn't follow the format the game reads in. Your entry should be similar to this according to the post above you:

# insertname
- coordinates: [187, 0, -39]
Sector map type: (insert desired type)* check to make sure "none" is an acceptable type
Allow: [Albion Orbit, Atreus Orbit, Bearclaw Orbit, Delios Orbit, Hellgate Orbit, Huntress Orbit, Ironhold Orbit, Paxon Orbit, Strana Mechty Orbit, Tiber Orbit]

I think that's enough to give you the idea. If you are not using notepad++ to edit these files, I strongly suggest doing so.

[Madcat529]

It is using NP++, and this is what EAH uses. It just spaces it out for easier editing, and doesn't change the function of the file.

Again, I've added new playfields the same way since A7, and had no issues until this ONE. Nothing has changed. I've even looked back at older playfields that have been added post-creation and they're the same.

Something else is happening

[Madcat529]

Now that I think about it, the last time I had map visibility issues was Orbit Maps in A7, because of Planet/Orbit Playfield incompatibility. Solved it by using established orbit palyfields instead of the other ones.

However, this playfield is a SSG Generated Playfield, and I've even swapped in a already working Orbit and I still have the same issue.

Also tried a pre-built Playfield that is available in the files.

Still not visible! YEET

[Chilimeat]

There are a few things that cause map visibility issues.

Mistake in the orbit playfield.yaml file (Like a missing Drone base, or something out of place)

An orbit marked as a planet with no planet in it will also cause the issue.

Color, orbitline, and Icon are no longer supported by the way, but still work to remain backwards compatible. They are literally meaningless and could be removed at any time.

[Madcat529]

I will look into that, thanks

[Madcat529]

Glossing over, I can't find the issue. Tried messing with what POI's spawn and nothing seems to correct the issue. While I'm okay at coding, I might be missing something glaringly obvious, I really don't know.

So still can't solve the issue

EDIT: I a little more information has been showed. I pushed the update containing the new Playfield to the live server I am running. However I'm not sure what it could mean since the all existing and added playfields work (Aside from my asteroid playfield I am adding where it's not visible on Sector Map, but one can go to it via Teleport, Transporter, and Portal).

Warning is as such; "GetPlayfieldYamlPath - Playfield Cannot be Found Anywhere."

What I take this as is a Playfield file could not be found, however as I stated, all playfields work and are able to go to.

Red Herring maybe?

Either way, a look through server logs and EAH logs have turned up nothing.

Asteroid space is still invisible on Sector Map
