so yea

Someone came to me with an idea for that old translight engine. To give it tradelane effects when you cruise. Anyone want to tell me if this is possible, and/or just do it for me? (I haven't modded in months). Thanks.

First off welcome back I haven't heard from you in a long time.

I'm not sure what your refering to about cruising speed
but if you add this line...and set it to what you want the cruise speed to be you get like lickety split speed...

[EngineEquipConsts
CRUISING_SPEED = 2500 ;add this line to EngineEquipConsts

also you'll notice that my constants ini file has an added line for max player ammo...

No... baked, that aint the issue at all. The mod was released like a year ago. Changing cruise speed is easy. Mine had it set to 300,000 (and it really did feel like hyperspace with control and all. One wrong thing and you were off by a ton).

I want the EFFECT to change. For instance, instead of seeing big engines, I want to see that tradelane effect.

Ah I see maybe something like an in system jumphole....

Post Fri May 07, 2004 4:09 am

i have an idea, what if, hmmmmmmm well u may be able to chnage the engine thrust you know? when u go to cruise the engine light gets thicker? yoyu may be able to replace that with the jump lane effect. this is just theory, id check but im in school now, ill try it later. and welcome back.
