I know that i can modify a map for jump in and jump out effect, But can i modify a speed of jumping in out - For example make a jump effect like in star wars.

$Warpin type:

    * Allow an animation to be defined as a warpin effect.
    * Syntax: BTRL or default

What does mean BTRL type? My ships will jump in/out like in Battlestar Galactica?

Do I need any effect file for this jump effect?

BTRL style jump effect replaces normal one. It simply draws animation and makes ship disappear. You will need proper effect though (some animation).

I'm sorry but I have a question that does relate to this. Does this affect the velocity of the ship? In my mod I want the portal to open up and the ship in question to zip out fast B5 like.
I have created a masterpiece.

If you want ship to actually move and jump out do not use BTRL type. Then the speed will affect the ships. Basically ships start accelerating to get to 'jump speed' in default jump type.

You can't. Use some pre-existing animation instead. Or make your own.

Honestly.. dunno.. havent tried. Probably just by setting the speeds to be relatively high and the effect radius to be rather small and of short duration. Wont look much from cockpit though but might look pretty good on other ships

You shouldn't use the BTRL effect, because that's really just a placeholder until the release codebase gets upgraded to HEAD. In HEAD, the effect is completely changed and currently incomplete.
