Cool nice tut, I never really learned how to make items system linkable.

Most of the time you just press fix system link in entity and it works. It rebuilds the predicted resources for you.

This has nothing to do with predicted resources did you read the tutorial?

Take ascension.map clone some placement chunks and test with another person on syslink the new cloned chunk won't spawn if you don't do what i explain on this tutorial.

I meant with weapons and projectiles and whatnot. These placement chunks need this I guess.

A real problem solver thanks neodos,
heres a question or 2 for you:

1 I've looked and noticed that all -Origin BSP Index numbers are all divisible exactly by 512, do you know if this is of any importance?

2 Do the Source# and BSP Policy# have to be completely unique to the map? (example you'd have to check all placement chunks in the scnr, like create, lights, weapons, mach, scen etc, to find a group of unused #'s ) or can you just follow your example without any kind of conflict ?,

Its just that whilst looking I noted that some placements (some,but not all, ones that have the same object from a pallet ) share source and policy number's, but like I said not all same objects/scen have a shared number I haven't had chance to dig deep

hmmm i must have fucked up that plugin, cause the origin bsp index should always be 0 for multiplayer (since theres only 1 sbsp)

That may just be the algorithm bungie used to automaticaly calculate each Origin Bsp index value for each placement chunk, i don't really know but as long as it works and doesn't cause any bug i think it's ok.

It doesn't affect other maps you can follow this example or start from number one, source and bsp policy can be the value (source:1 bsp:1) in the same placement chunk, however i would suggest to make unique numbers between each placement type to make sure it will be fine.

Consider this like a "part of memory" in-game where the coords and state of the object are saved and sycn with other players in syslink, i guess that if some placement chunks share that it means that when one change of state the others will too, so it may be better to make all unique.
