Is it possible to have a different warpout effect than the usual "hole in space"?

Like, for instance, somethin, saaay, like Macross/Robotech, where the ship turns all different colors, or, say, the ship gets smaller and smaller until it dissappears, that sort of stuff.


Possible? Probably? No way in hell?

[kasperl]

already possible.

change the warp.pof

or, define a new warp.pof in some table. either species or ships, IIRC. there is also a SEXP to create a warphole out of nowhere.

Wouldn't changing the warp.pof simple make a new exit hole? Like, for instance, I'm wanting something that affects the ship directly, not something it flies into.

[kasperl]

that would be hard.

perhaps you can make a somewhat transperent thingy, but one that extends to the front a lot.

[Unknown Target]

what do you mean?

[kasperl]

make the warp.pof extend to the front, so that the entire ship is engulfed in it immediately. make it half transperent to change the ccolor of the ship.

edit: or you can make on per ship, and make it look like the ship being funny.

be creative, i guess.

Hows about just adding $SpecialWarp (for the warp-model) and $WarpOffset (for it's position and size relative to the ship-model) things to the ships.tbl?

[kasperl]

you mean  that it should be implemented, or that it already is?

the first should already be implemented, not sure about the last.

what about making a stawarsih warp effect, with the ships just accellerating to infinite speed? both star wars and an eventual star trek mod could benefit of this

[Unknown Target]

I'd like a way to have the ship fade brighten, then fade out into nothingness.

With as much sparklies as possible

Can the starwars jump out be cloned sorta speak, kinda. Lets hear what can and can`t be done, that will give you something of a starting point..

Could a starwars drop from warp even be possible, come in at a higher speed that what is now done with FS2, and quickly slow as in starwars?

This would make it so they warped and dropped out of warp in a starwars fassion.

Just an idea to ponder.

[redsniper]

for the star wars style jump in/out you could just stretch the model along its z axis and have it quickly fade out

[terren]

for the starwars style, could we have $warp speed:  and $warp accl:  setings?   would give you atleast one new way to have the ship move.  and it would work for early FS systems when the ship has to stop before it can warp.  just my 4.582¢
