Jump point privateer remake

[ack2000]

trying to remake the jump point and its not working.

files of how it looks right now avail for those who can help

avi how i want it to look ->http://www.1webspace.biz/ack2000/index.html

Also is there anyway to change it from orb to be square or at actual objs like babylon 5 type jump?


Thanks

[ack2000]

could some at least point to where in the code jump points are defined as orbs? PLEASE!

[jackS]

the physical appearance of jump points isn't hard coded. The model associated with a jump point is degined in the units.csv file.

Thank you. I assume its the jump planet?

You also have to modify the system file


unit

jump_planet add a bfxm(obj shape) to line.

in system file you have to change it
\Vegastrike\Privateer\sectors\Gemini (This is from privateer remake)

orginal
<planet name="Jump_To_War" file="jump.png" alpha="ONE ONE" radius="256" gravity="0" x="10" y="16000" day="240" destination="Gemini/War"/>

change to
<unit name="Jump_To_War" file="jump_planet" alpha="ONE ONE" radius="256" gravity="0" x="10" y="16000" day="240" destination="Gemini/War"/>


this is important detail when you change the system file to say jump_planet it use this a prefix on the targeting system.
So if you want it to say something else needs to be changed in the unit file

I thought it looks at wormhole.stable and wormhole.unstable

both vega strike and the WCU change the jump point model using wormhole.whatever
