The one feature Siggy has vs Tripwire

Issue #35 resolved
Triks terism created an issue

I love tripwire, it's gorgeous and easy to use. Siggy feels like some sort of ancient incarnation of this, however for us K-Space residents siggy has one thing tripwire does not: The ability to connect k to k systems so we can easily see wormholes of nearby systems without having to load up that system on the webpage or go to that system personally.

This seems like a simple option to add and I would love to see it.

    I did add a work-around for this in Tripwire. Create fake wormholes and use the wormhole type of "GATE" instead of say "B274". This provides an infinite wormhole that has a gray line in the chain map.

    Oh nice, this should work for now. Do the fake sigs get auto deleted when pasting new stuff and choosing the "delete non-existant sigs" option?

  3. Josh Glassmaker repo owner

    Nope, there is a check that prevents the "GATE" types from being deleted when using that feature. :)

    Sweet, looks like an email reply does update the tickets - takes awhile though. (that is why I doubled answered)

    Still got tons of features to add but it does work quite well when you learn how to fully use it. Still need to get documentation and tutorials built into it too obviously lol.

    Only thing that is sort of annoying (and really the only "problem" I have with this work around thusfar) is having to make up sig names. I'm using things like AAA, AAB, AAC etc... for now.

    Just found a problem. It seems like gate signatures do get deleted only because they become "K162" after people move through them with tripwire open. I have all my gate connections labeled "GATE" as their type but when I jump through them they become "K162" which can be auto-deleted.

    It has always set these up as GATE-K162 for me. If you update the K162 end to GATE, the original end becomes K162, so you can't set up a GATE-GATE connection.

    Also, while ??? is allowed as an ID, you can't add more than one ??? manually (Signature ID already exists!)

    I am actually working on fixing that and several other issues related to using GATE as signatures. I am testing the changes right now on Galileo and should be pushed live to Tripwire very soon.
