Out of curiosity, do you guys have hyperspace working? Ie, when a ship enters the battlefield it comes in super fast from far away and then dramatically slows to a crawl.

And if so, was that easy to do? I've seen a few different people change the warp in effects and I'm wondering how the hell to do 'em.

WMC made us a nice effect, we may continue tweaking it to our needs or attempt to import the effect from the Imperial Alliance codebase, since it already has more features.

coming in from far away? XD Sounds like star trek!  *sssttttttrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!* XD

[Stormkeeper]

Pssst. Varsaigen. Its "capital ships", not "capitol ships".

[varsaigen]

what are talking about? I never mentioned any capital ships...

Edit: Ah. the sig. yeah. I'll change that. XD thx
Edit2: LIES!!! It's spelled correctly. XD

[Stormkeeper]

...has destroyed rogue Lucifers and has captured many GTVA capitolships

No, its not.

[varsaigen]

why are you talking about my sig? this thread is for hyperspace. not my sig! >:O
Besides, I did a spellcheck on it many times now. >.>

[Jeff Vader]

Now that we're talking about it, capitolship is spelled separately and with an a, "capital ship". (dunno why the spell checker accepts capitolship)

Now, then let's jump back to hyperspace. And next time, if someone has inconsistencies in his signature, PM him.

What's the best form of HS travel IYO? Stargate? FS? SW? B5?

I personally think the Stargate option, there are no boundaries, you can't be attacked unless the other ship jumped with you, and it's fast.

[Stormkeeper]

I have a scene from Dark Reign vividly impressed in my mind...

A ship fleeing through a stargate, the pursuer accidentally damages the stargate, and then tries to enter it only to get ripped to shreds by energy flunctuation. Dangerous imo, stargates. Look at BP.

I think Homeworld's one is best. And its mechanics are pretty well explained.

[varsaigen]

Lobo, thank you for clearing it up. I'll make that change now.

I think the startrek *STREETTTCCCCHHHHH!* optiion looks pathetic. I haven't seen a stargate warp i for ages. I take it ou mean not coming through the gate? (Although it would make a great replacement for the Knossos Gate...)

Guys, this isn't a forum for discussing this universe vs. that one, etc.

Take that stuff to another forum.  This one is for discussion of the Star Wars Conversion.  Keep it on topic

[varsaigen]

I thought it was for the Hyperdrive stuff. Just like what the title says...

*sigh* I know it;s for star wars. I don't know why it went off topic.

[Scourge of Ages]

Well, just look at the Battle of Endor in the movie. When the rebel fleet enters hyperspace, they're moving slowly, then all of a sudden BAM they're gone in a little streak. Sort of like a Star Trek (sry, won''t mention again) warp-out, except a lot faster and no flash at the end.

[Stormkeeper]

I know in Star Wars Republic Commando, there's a mission you have to fight off a Seperatist battleship, you can actually glimpse it at the edge of the system as a tiny little dot, then it *bam* it appears in front of you. It moved like uber fast, but I didn't notice any stretching effect.

Also, sorry for going off topic.

[Flipside]

I also don't recall any real stretching being used, they just went from moving very very quickly to normal speed (with the star blur reverting to a normal scene). I think people get confused because of motion blur, particularly in the newer movies where it's all rendered.

I think they also do a trick with the lens angle in the Star Wars movies, but I can't remember for certain.

[brandx0]

In the original movies the ships simply moved very quickly away, but there was a very very slight star distortion effect around them.  This could either have been due to the way they shot it against a blue screen with a lot of time distortion and post processing, but they didn't stretch.

[Stormkeeper]

The scene I remember the most is the stars stretching as the Millenium Falcon jumped.
