[MOD] Player Jump ver. 0.5 April 26 2023 and Player Squad Jump ver. 0.4 April 21, 2023

Uh ok, so no animation, no delay, just a plain jump. Will consider an optional version like that, Thanks for the clarification

@SimB: Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately triggering any mod action has become very difficult ever since XR because there are no key commands anymore and no simple way to add a command to the UI. However, I'l check alternative options. In the meantime, why don't you let an NPC captain do the flying. They are much better than the autopilot

Is it possible to make it less "cheaty"? Like adding cooldown or energy cells consumption, maybe even range limit.

.......
This feature replacing the autopilot is not an option.
.......
I am patiently awaiting the final version where we can also choose the key-bind!

New version (0.2) uploaded which uses the guidance rather than the autopilot (see OP for details). And SimB, I'm (and other modders) waiting since XR for the corresponding XML commands

I didn't wanted to overdo it
Do you know Freespace2? Or even Wing Commander? They had beautyful jumpeffects. Something like this would be also cool.
For X3 we already made something like this and it was really impressive (especially when a battleship jumps in).

So even with as long as XR is out now - you are not able to set keybinds for new mods?
That is a big oversight from ES...

I will try the new version! Thank you!

Hi.
Just wanna say to you that your mod is awesome.
I like the way you used the anomaly thing to create a jump drive like ^^

But I wanted to tell you that the first time I used it, I asked myself : why don't we could find it as an equipement we'd able to buy ? I meant, like a ware you can add to your inventory, like SETA ?
It'd be interesting in term of gameplay to have, at last, to buy it on a secret place, or better, to get the blueprint and having a recipe to craft it ?
I don't know if it would be hard to implement.
Anyway, simply having the device avaliable to buy on a secret place would be nice.

New version 0.3 uploaded and an addon that allows ships in the player's squad to jump (see OP for details).

A Merry Christmas!

Cheers Euclid

Euclid:

Great mod by the way. The squad based jump is not working for me.

I pirated a miner in enemy territory. Added him to my squad and jumped back home. He was left behind.

Yes he had a captain. Yes the optional download mod is installed. No his engines were not damaged. Please advise.

Hi Bravari

Does the miner has any other order running? Once in your squad he should have the follow/protect order. Try this: Kick him from your squad, check he has no other order running, add him to you squad, He should jump to you.

It is possible to change the effect to another, less bright.?

I have a bug to report. Had a XL ship docked to a Trading station (NPC flying it). I ordered the NPC to undock. After he had undock but before the command "undock" was finished ("undock" was still on the top of the order queue) I ordered the ship to jump. The jump was successful, however the undock command was still in the command queue and couldn't be deleted. So every new command was simply put after undock. I tried to fix the problem by leaving the ship, then the sector, do some missions, come back, but no success.. I also couldn't manually fly the spacecraft. A left click at the captains console simply didn't do anything.

I assume that this issue is related to the unfinished undock command.

[euclid]

Thanks Rolgar66, I'll look into this.

For now I have uploaded a new version of the addon that fixes a bug reported by Bravari.

Cheers Euclid

@alexalsp: Thanks, fixed that already.
@Rolgar66: Found the cause and fixed it.

Few more tests before uploading an update soon™

@FritzHugo3: Jumpdrive as an equipment like in X3 will be tricky as it would require some UI modifications. Not only ware list menu of equipment docks, ship dealer etc. but also the ship's info menu. However, it is possible to let all ships jump if the destination is in a different sector. Need to look into that but it will be a separate mod.

Cheers Euclid

Thanks alexalsp, would help if you describe what exactly you were doing Event object is the player ship. So I guess you were not controlling it (means there is no player ship).

It is possible that the script is being loaded before the player’s ship generation.
