I'm playing in a game of planets that is using Ahost, Phost 3.5, SB+ &
R+.

As the crystals when ever I try & lay a web (or a minefield) it says:

>From Ship: OPAL CLASS TORPEDO B
We have converted our
torpedoes into web mines
and laid them in a field centered
at ( 2859 , 1771 )
36 mines were laid
Mine field ID# 39 now contains
36 mine units and is
6 light years in radius
This mine field is at maximum size.

In this game I am allied with the Privateers via the Phost commands.
I can see that the Robots are able to lay minefields of 150lyrs. I've
spoken to Don over at Robo & we've tried Phost 3.5 (it was 3.2) &
still no joy.

The host settings etc are all as they should be, we just can't see
where it's setting this as a max. I even set up a test game to see if
I can replicate the problem, I can't. It's sad that I spotted this 20
turns into the game, I may need to drop the game... any suggestions
welcome.

Are you sure, that a web mine field which contains 36 mines should
be greater than 6 light years? Wink I don't think so because the
formula is: radius = sqrt(number of mines) = sqrt(36) = 6

Are you the same one who sent mail to support RemoveThis @phost.de? You left out
this interesting information about add-ons in that Smile

This last sentence is not generated by PHost, and PHost's "From" line
reads just "From: OPAL CLASS TORPEDO B", so it must be coming from
someone else. Since I haven't got any other complaints about minelaying,
I would suspect that someone else first.

Do you have a hconfig.hst? D&D addons have the nasty habit of not
running or doing weird things if you do not have one. So the first thing
to check would be hconfig.hst [1].
