I was all finished testing a mission. I press alt-j and start to enter subspace. Right before I enter, I stop (not on purpose) and the view turns back to my HUD. But the freaky thing is this. The subspace tunnel thing is still going. Nothing is going through it its just sitting there...spinning in that loop it does. Now I tried to enter subsapce again but in the mission I set it for you only have one chance to jump (thats the best way I can discribe it). It didnt cause a prob but its funny seeing the tunnel thing going and going etc.

Has anyone else seen\done this

Well if its does it for the subspace tunnel, I'd imagine it would do the same with other Anis with a loop animation... intresting

I sat there and I was like WTF is going on here, then I laughed. This happened exactly 7 mins from right now. Hell I'm going to replay the mission now and see if I can do it again.

that is a definate moment

get screenshots of it!!

LOL this sounds pretty weird; I have also occasionally had weird things happen with the subspace jump. One time I was trying to jump out and my ship got blown up right as the screen switched to the external camera, but it still showed the subspace animation even though there was nothing going through it, and the warp effect wouldn't dissappear and continued looping just as yours did.

I'm not sure if I can get screenshots of it. I was more on trying to figure out what caused it. Its almost a once in awhile event. I dont know if you can purposely do it. I'm not going to try because this happened in a campaign mission and I think its best to leave it alone.

Yes, subspace does weird things, cuts ships in half, makes capships twirle and explode like fighters, and when you get hit while entering the subspace portal, you disappear right next to it.

something happens if you tell a support ship ocked to you to depart, and then you can't warp...

[Stunaep]

I guess that could be caused, by FRED disableing warp before you actually jumped.

Try doing a ship-vanish on yourself.  That's kind of fun...

what is this 'ship-vanish' you talk about?

has anyone had RIGHT AFTER they finished docking with a support ship if the support ship jumps out (or is told to jump out)  (or even if they don't? i think it's only if you do) you find yourself in a black screen with various parts of the HUD showing.  you can't move, jump out, or anything

i think someone said it's called "docked to a departed support ship" or something like that  lol

[CP5670]

yeah, I have played around with all these things; weird stuff happens.

[Su-tehp]

How badly does this stuff affect subspace missions? I'm considering scripting one or two subspace missions into my campaign and I want to avoid any errors or glitches...

It's another SEXP. You use it to make a ship disappear with the player being able to press F4 and see that it was destroyed or jumped out.
 Best example I can think of it's use was for Kappa Wing in the first nebula mission.

Thats what i meant...




Now, the anis dor subspace are spinning right?

Because scientists belive than a spinning black hole could lead to another universe if it stableizes, so you could fly through. Now if the black hole collects light, if you see the inside, it would be white correct? Thes who says that the entrance to this n-dimensional universe isn't just black holes? they might not be there for in system jumps, but in a jump node? could there be a black hole or subspace black hole?

Yea that was me. Hard to believe anybody still remembers that. It was done in FS1 at the time.... I have no idea about FS2. Anyway here's a screenshot of it.

What I did: made a simple mission with Alpha 1 and a support ship. The support ship has orders to dock Alpha 1 and the events tells the support ship when it has docked Alpha 1 to depart. Once the support ship is attached to you there's not much you can do about it though.
