Abydos map errors

Player_860 was the first ever player to travel from Abydos to Earth... but then we discovered the teleporter is not 2 way...
The map is on server, unfinished and you have to reconnect, to travel back to Abydos at the moment...
Also there is a bug with the SG-1 theme tune, it doesn't loop, it plays when a player downloads the song, or enters the server... and not until those events happen again...
How to make teleporters work 2-way?

to make them 2 way you put the tag of the first teleporter in the URL of the second. so you put the URL of both teleporters as the tag of the other teleporter

use 4 teleporters
X Y ------------------------------- A B
when you go to X, nothing happens
when you go to Y, you get teleported to B
when you go to A, you get teleported to X
when you go to B, nothing happens
clear enough?

I've had problems making teleporters before, I got it to work and then it didn't work for some reason, so I stay well clear of them.

[quote]Instructions
Set up some space for two teleporters; maybe two room connected by a corridor or a single long room. Then,
1. Add an Actor >> NavigationPoint >> SmallNavigationPoint >> Teleporter to each room.
2. Match these tags:
* First teleporter: Teleporter -> URL
* Second teleporter: Events -> Tag
3. The first teleporter will now teleport to the second: we have a one-way system set up. To make the system work both ways, match these tags too:
* First teleporter: Events -> Tag
* Second teleporter: Teleporter -> URL
Teleporters can be confusing, because they act as destinations and departures. The Tag property of a teleporter sets its name. The URL property gives the name of the destination this teleporter will send things to.
Tips
* To check you haven't got the tags the wrong way round, select BOTH teleporters and look at their properties. Both the URL and the Tag boxes should be empty
