Ports nor to reach

[bengt52]

I have made the following ports, but they are not to reach. If i calculate the distance, there ist to read: 0,0 nm usw:

<town>

<kurs_auf_dollar_bezogen>26.15850</kurs_auf_dollar_bezogen>
<x>403</x>
<y>-625</y>

What ist wrong. I have changed the coordinates (in the Region) but nothing changed: 0,0 nm.

Hi

I have just run all of your 3 ports in a game using your coordinates and the port name only. All of the rest of the data came from other ports in Norway and Russia.

I had exactly the same result as you - the distance shown from the originating port was 0.0nm.

I have the same result when I try to run larger ships to Mackay/Hay and Abbott Point in Australia.

However, I was trying to use a very small coaster in this case. There must be something in PoC itself which prevents you using this part of Europe.

Can't help you any more I am afraid

To access Mackey/ Highpoint and Abbot Point with big ships you have to use the map4mask.png and map5mask.png files i have added to the .zip file of Mackay / Highpoint. Using the latest PoC version you must copy them into \poc\pocxxl\user_addons\images and voila, the harbours are fully accessable.

The russian and norwegian port do not work because PoC is not able to calculate a route to places above 68 degree latitude.

rdklein has promised to change this in a future version of PoC.
Use the forum search for more deteils about this.
