Title: How do you add a jump point?
Post by: Renegade Paladin on April 25, 2008, 07:32:31 pm

Jump points are not on the list of objects you can add in FRED, and the help files don't indicate where else they might be.  Help?   :confused:

Jump nodes were added to the dropdown object menu in the retail 1.2 patch.  Start the retail launcher and run the auto-updater.

Yea, that baffled me at first too.
I just use FRED Open now, so much more functionality.

File Download HTTP error.  Status code: 400

Yeah, that isn't going to help.  The updater's apparently pointing to a dead server.

Then just get Fred Open.  And if all else fails, notepad:

Code: [Select]

#Waypoints

$Jump Node: 3.141593, 1.618034, 0.000000
$Jump Node Name: Capella

Really?  Been a while since I did a fresh install, so I suppose I was too quick to suggest the updater still worked.

In that case, here's a manual download link (http://home.comcast.net/~blueflames/FS2-v12.exe).

Incidentally, I did just recall the old workaround, necessary before the patch....  Right-click in empty space and choose 'Jump Node' from the 'New Object Type' menu, then control-click where you want your node, as normal.
