We'll probably have to hire some dedicated source programmers to compliment those we already have (who are otherwise busy). Community wide, I want to see a few big teams rather than countless programmers plugging away at it.

Ooh! I've isolated the jump effect code. Looks to be a fairly straightforward matter. It accepts a radius variable from the calling routine. A quick hack inside the subroutine could set the effect size, but that would make it so for all ships. Need to set up a variable that indicates whether or not it's a gate... OOH!!! There's a provision for specifying if the effect is for the Knososs device! Could use that flag! Then need to tell it to load a seperate texture_bitmap_num if the jump is in or out... HEEEHEHEHE!!! Funfunfunfun! =)

Zaphod: Already doing so. Right now, the faces of the jumppoint model are drawn using 3 sided polys. Deciding whether or not it would be better to switch those to four sided polys, allowing a truncated cone shape, as was in the series.
