I presume he means making it larger so ships no longer clip through it when you fly far from them. Mabye?

Shouldn't the warp POF be treated as a skybox by now?  Or are there still wierd things happening there.

I dont know. I think when i flew away in homesick i got some clipping but that could be my mind messing with me.

no

the warp doesn't open up wide enough - is the ship should be going completely into the white part, but the warp barely is wide enough for the ship period

The warp map's already pixelly on big ships, and I never noticed any massive changes between Vanilla and the SCP as far as warp out sizes go. For what it's worth, I reckon you should probably just leave it as it is.

Though, if you're fixing warpout bugs, did anyone ever solve the whole issue of glowmapped texs rendering behind the warp animation during the jumpout sequence of a ship?

somethings being rendereed, the ship flys through the warp hole but doesnt go away.

Odd.  I've got a 9600XT 128 and I don't get those problems.  I used to get them back when I had a GF2MX 32MB, and a friend of mind who had a GF4MX had similar issues.

Yeah, glowmaps are rendered behind the warpout on a GF4MX.

And the warpout is too small for ships that don't follow the general design of ships being longer than broader or higher. If you have something wider than long it looks like the warpout is too small(check the Ulysses, though it'S not as obvious as for capships.

Oh, and it'd be cool to have a shorter open and closing time for warpouts, perhaps dependant on the speed, e.g. the ship's warpout speed is very fast so theportal opens in a fraction of a second, the normal way seem painfully low to me, if it'd be faster it'd look more 'powerful'.
