Does anybody know where the little movie showing ships jumping to hyperspace is coded, or if it's hard coded?
Don't know it, but i bet it's hardcoded...
Um... neither? That's all realtime, like the BattleCam. There are a few properties that affect it in Factions.xml.
do you mean retreating mid battle? like they leave but the battle keeps going?
what about allowing ships to hyperspace away to make room for more ships because of the popcap. lets say you have 40 fighter squadrens out and you want to bring in the executor. so you select the fighters you want to retreat .then the fighters are put back into the unit box and pop cap is lowered like they were destroyed, but they can still be called back into battle.
i think they took that out because of the fact that can be overly minipulated and almost a cheat, it should be possible i've seen it done in the clips in the campaign (EAW Reballion - vegesso)
