You know, the big green wireframe ball... How is that effect done? I ean, when you look ate the model in modelview, it's not a wireframe model at all, it's like any ither model, just all green. Is there a way to give this appearance to a model?

[Jabu]

Hardcoded wireframe. If you just look at the wireframe version of the model, it'll show the node. This is what the game sees.

Or it's pure green except for the wires, which are a slightly different green. That would mean that only the wires show.

Has anyone tried changing the Node POF? Just for fun?

Actually, I remember someone trying to change the warphole pof, and it just - didn't. It was hardcoded. This could be the same, but no harm in trying.

I'd like to see someone have a go at it... I mean, that node is SO boring compared to, say, the B5 jump gates.... let me know if anyone makes any progress on this...

Okay, so it's only the FS1 jump node in FS2, but still.

I'm gonna see if I can use a ganymede as a warp gate  

[Snipes]

nope...   doesn't work

[Grey Wolf]

Is something warped here besides my personality?    Nope, must be just me.

Mmh, do you just put a new model and it automatically applies a wireframe map to it, or is it something else?

[Sushi]

There is the Jump Gate POF, it isn't wireframe by itself, but FS is hardcoded to display the model in wireframe. So, you should be able to change the shape, but it will always be a wire model. That still leaves room for some cool changes.  

And as for changing the Warp-in, that was me.   There is a warp POF, but the game abandons it in favor of a textured flat-cone primitive.

well, it's cool, but it also means that I can't use wireframe for other models  
Damn if there wasn't those stupid voodoo crads, I would use transparent maps and the pb would be no more...

I tried, I put the knossos as he subspacenode.pof, and it still loaded the subspace node :-/

Here's my new node:         What do you think?
