Swirling Warppoint Generator |
I have written a nice little tool for generating some great swirling warppoints!
Punch in the colour range, the sizes, radii, speeds and more, then press go!
Paste the results into your datafiles, and you're ready to go.

Take a look at what I did with it!
Se4 classic Warppoints!
Relativistic redshifting?
Subtle colour variation, just plain nice to look at.
Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
At the moment, there is only one warppoint style in stock.
Fyron was on IRC making new warppoints and complaining about how non-swirly they were, which prompted this 
I imagine it would be as simple as duplicating the warppoint entry in Xfiles_system.txt, giving it a new name, and calling for the new one instead of the old one when a damaging warppoint is involved in sectortypes.
I'd reccommend sprucing up your normal warppoints with one of these warppoints, and throw some of my electrostorm animations into the damaging warppoints. Nothing quite like flashes of lightning to say "danger - keep out!"

Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
Very cool and given they are going to be in the Next FQM I will hold off till then since it does make the game so much prettier
Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
which version of FQM is this going to be included? Is it in v3?
SJ, the electrmagnetic storm idea sounds very cool, Have you implimented this.
SEV, more than a feeling.
Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
any idea on how to install both??
Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
The electromagnetic storms are implemented in GGMod and FQM beta 3.
As far as FQM is concerned, the swirly warp points are implemented in beta 4. Beta 4 won't be out until I get these atmosphere glows finalized.
Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
wouldnt it be possible to make the swirling look it it was bieng sucked in?
or maybe even sucked out at the same time?
like you see some coming from the center and go a few orbits, 1 or so, then bieng sucked in? would be like star dust that is constantly bieng transported between the wormholes but never enough to leave it
Re: Swirling Warppoint Generator
very nice indeed will give it a go but probably need some one to tell me how to attach one of these to FQM's damaging or other wise non standard warp points as I asume theey will get uesd randomly otherwise
