How about change-jumpnode-model?  Also, hide-jumpnode should also effectively remove it from your radar.

I'd imagine that could be used again in a mission to change it from one model to another.

Once you've got one of those, just fill the image to the color you want.

If that doesn't work, and it's a source thing, it shouldn't be too hard to change.


Could you ever code in a feature where we can specify our own dummy.pcx file for each node, like a texture replacement feature? I have this plan of coloring nodes in Starforce according to who controls the system on the other side:

Green = Savaran Imperial Alliance
Blue = Earth Federation
Yellow = Vasudan Parliamentary Empire
Red = Microsol Consortium
White = Republic of Erigone
Cyan = Border Systems Coalition
Orange = Neo-Hammer of Light
Purple = Zica
Gray = Contested/pirate/independent

*sees new sexps*
Never mind...

Woolie you really don't read the entire thread do you.  We've been talking about the fact that the old system has been restored to functioning and so you don't need a dummy.pcx any more.  And there is talk of a set-node-color sexp, which would render your request completely obsolete.

You can also specify color in the mission file.

Ex:

Code: [Select]
$Jump Node: 1.0 3.0 4.0
+Jump Node Name: Dave's House o' Fighters ;;Technically a $ will work here too, it was the default, but a + fits in with the parsing scheme better, it is optional after all
;;New stuff
+Model File: FoD.pof ;;yes it works now
+Alphacolor: 255 0 255 255 ;;last variable is for alpha, ie transparency, 255 is full
+Hidden: YES ;;now you have to use show-jumpnode to make it show up

we need to figure out a way to order cap ships to specific locations on a coordinate plane.  A team captain ordering a Lilith's fire plane around would be totaly baddas.  



If the SCP is ever released by somone like Gamespy, its going to need more intriguing multiplayer modes.  Awesome mulitplay is what keeps games going, and Fs2s modes are outdated.

----THIS JUST IN: GTVA NEWS BULLETIN----

The marker for the newly discovered subspace node in epsilon pegasi is nearly complete. GTVA workers worked 'round the clock, twisting together millions of green pipe cleaners to form the several kilometer long node marker required by law around every known subspace node.

Bah. If the GTVA really did build them, how did they get to the region beyond the second Knossos.

Obviously green pipe cleaners were created by the Ancients.

Or the Shivans. :nervous:
