Is it possible to modify this file so that one could stay in warp indefinately? Heck, is it possible to make the ship come out of warp via your own command?

Now I can uderstand , coming out at your command , but why would you want to be in warp all the time? The Navigational computer would take you out of warp when you got to your destination, you would not want to fly around a star system while at warp, to many things to bump into.

Not without a lot of code changes.

The entire warp process is sequence based and it expects that it ends somewhere outside the warp set.

I'm... experimenting with some things... lol

Is there a way to set it for an obscenely long time, in that case? Using NanoFX's control panel, it seems to max out at 199 or 299 (I can't remember) seconds.

Search for this line:

Code:

iTimeToWarp = App.g_kSystemWrapper.GetRandomNumber(Custom.NanoFXv2.NanoFX_Config.wFX_MaxRandomDistance)

Abd replace hte part after iTimeToWarp = with and insanely large number which will make it impossible to exist Warp without crashing BC.
I'd say a number in the order of 9e99 would do the trick.

So something like:

"iTimeToWarp = 99999999999999"

? I don't REALLY need it to be forever lol An hour would be more than long enough to get what I need done.

Yeah, though 9e99 is way bigger.

if you dont mind me asking.. what would you need to use it for? understandable for the come out of work command but then you'd need to set a "random" point in which you'd come out of work, and seeing how random just isnt possible with bc you'd have to set a list of systems that you'd drop out of.. is that what your trying to do?

lol no

Nothing like that. Give me about a week or two and you'll have your answer. It's not a mod or anything... in fact, the current project doesn't even need it, but a future project might.


...You'll see lol I know that's vague.
