Star Trek Jump Drive Lines

Description
This mod introduces Star Trek style Warp Lines to Jump Drives.

Animation runs completely Client Side.


Thruster Lines Placement

The double line placements are guessed based on your ship dimensions. To fix the lines to specific points on your ship (e.g. place it at warp nacelles etc), put the following Name Tag in the Name Field of a particular Thruster you want the line to be on:

JDL-L <= Aligns the Left Line on this Thruster
JDL-R <= Aligns the Right Line on this Thruster

Note: MUST be a Thruster Type. You can only have one for each (i.e. one left and one right). Tagging multiple thrusters to one name tag will cause mod to randomly pick one.



By default, the double line placements are guessed based on your ship dimensions. You can change that by specifying up to 7 warp lines on specific Thrusters by putting the following Name Tag on the name of the thruster:

JDL-

(Example: JDL-M, JDL-1, JDL-2.... etc)

Note: MUST be a Thruster Type. If you have more than 7 thrusters tagged, script will just use the first 7 detected.

Thruster lines on subgrid is now supported.


Line And Thruster Color

You can use the following controls to set the warp effect colors (there is a cooldown of 2 seconds before you are allowed to click the button again):



This results in the mod setting the following Custom Data to ALL Jump Drives on the grid:



The Thruster Glow, Warp Lines and Boom will use the new color set:



Note: You cannot set too dark a color (e.g. Black). Mod will re-adjust the color to ensure it glows.

If possible - please update this wonderful mod) I've been looking for something like this for a long time, but I found it only today, and - alas - it looks abandoned :steamsad:

you should fix this and add it to the Space Engineers Plugin repository. https://github.com/sepluginloader/SpaceEngineersLauncher

So atleast in Singleplayer, I had this mod Installed for while and decided to actually use, it took some trial and Error and I changed nothing about the Mods Code but it works as Intended, it is Very Bright which looks cool af, the Lines work well, and i was having No issues with the sound, Need to see if it works in Multiplayer Servers

If it is Not working for you i Recommend Double Checking everything and Read the Description
I named Mine: 'JDL-IonThrust Tip 1' and such and Reconfiged the Jump Drive Coloration

this mod only seemed to be broken until a bit ago, it used to barely show a line in the middle of your ship and you could sometimes not see it but if you assign the thrusters with the "JDL-1, JDL-2" and so on you could see them but now it def wont' show the lines on SE Dedicated or my own worlds; this was very recent, not sure why.

well it would be nice if someone either took the initiative to fix this mod or make a new one that has different variants of style with the correct sound fx
