Srinkadge? The most boring Jump-Affect of its time?

Fri Jan 13, 2006 6:57 am by Darth-Vader

Hi

I serched for this but couldnt find it anyware but. how can i shrink the SERIUS sector down to 1/3 size on the universe map? (because I want to fit 2 more uneverses there).

And how can I create a jump affect that stops, shows you a place like a system and you get sucked into the worm hole again. And that will continue for 3 minutes (cuz the universe is acualay a new galaxiy with everything new). I just wana make people bail out before they find out the greatest secret and make it more realsistic.

P.S. Im not shure I can change the size of the SERIUS sector on the universe map but I think I can do jump affect.

Freelancer has technical limits and the making of a 3x bigger universe map isn't possible. Making a longer jump effect can be possible but I don't know the way how.

The way to do it inside FL's restrictions would be to move the current systems positions (and therfore map positions) in universe.ini

Where can i find Fl Restrictions?

And i dont want to just move em but shrink the place where they can be like. I can place 50 systems in a row from top to bottom but I want to increse that bumber to 150 or more if posible.

@ DV, the Navmap's hard coded in the exe, so to change the size you would need to re-write a chunk of the exe.

Can somwone do taht for me. I will give you credits for it. And who knows where I can get permission to use the exe?

DV I don't mind doing small changes to the source code ie true speed, but anybody daft enough to do a large hack to the source code deserves everything that happens to them when M$ find out, besides Alcander's already looked at it and desided that it's to much work as you also need to make new models for the navmap as the old ones won't fit.

yea but to make shure is there a way to ask if I can have and edit it?

More trouble than it's worth mate. Just move the current systems and add what you can. Be happy that MS let us do any of this because they dont have to.

Edit : Perhaps I should add, even IF you had the coding skill to modify any FL source that by some miracle you aquired you would also need licensed 3rd party libraries that MS/DA used to compile it. This may cost 100's or even 1000's of $ and would also need to be the '03 revisions.

Well thats what I want I want to shrink the size of map and move the systems and keeping their arangment and still have a large space for 2 more galaxys. It be more cool cuz traveling from one galaxy to another will take about 2 minutes in the jump affect (Like a worm hole) and then you enter a completeley diferent world where nothing is the same. So people will be amazed (if they can find the worm hole).

Then reread this thread cos I told you how to do that (or at least *where* to look to do that

) a few posts a go

+++ out of cheese error - redo from start +++

Sorry lol. Hmm maybe I can precisley move it not using like 1, 8 but like 1.900, 8.300 do you think this work?
