Changing the distance from which you jump into a system

<- also interested in this

From the mighty Hex list,

– 2000f in common.dll, 0x???, 0x13E678 = how far behind a jumpgate a player will be spawned - from this point, the player will be thrown forward at exceptional speed until he/she has reached the gate ~fox

I believe that’s what you’re speaking of? As an additional notice, there’s a value to tweak in the jump sequence INI. It’s been a while since I last worked with that, but one of the timings determines how long it takes to run through the distance so you can set the speed.

oops, yeah right

Hmmm…

How is it that at some gates the ship is stationary on arrival while at others it is moving forward?

I never figured that one out, any clues?

afik you had to change the jumpeffect.ini

I’ve only see that happen for jumpholes, which makes sense since I don’t believe they have any jump in time.

I believe the movement after jump is type-related (rather, if it’s a Jumpgate or Jumphole). As for the actual jump-in itself, that is controlled by a combination of that hex offset plus “jump_in_time = xx” under [JumpGateEffect] in data\fx\jumpeffect.ini

A short jump_in_time combined with a long jump-in-distance will propel the player forwards at historically epic speeds - it’s best you keep it reasonable. XD

Hope this helps! =D
