This is not a request which continues to argue for the Tardis mod to be added to the server. The mods linked below are simple in their concepts adding portals to the game, there is free space on the map (people often argue this point for warp tunnels for large ships which simply isnt doable). my point is if we use this space to accomodate these Bigger on the Inside addons (implement a limit to interior size) this will be extremely cool and useful to Doctor Who fans like myself. Another point which is often argued against the Tardis addon is that its a pre-built ship, well with this there is nothing but a blank interior which allows us to create our own ship/Tardis which is a good thing. I understand this a very big ask but i think with proper limitations it will fit nicely onto the server as it is very generic and doesnt have to be Doctor Who asociated. This isnt a direct request more of an investigation to whether it is plausable for its adding to the server. This being added will satisfy the tscm doctor who community and allow for more creative builds to be constructed which will no longer require intricite transporter systems.

Thank you very much for your consideration and time,
Jolly Good - Great Britain,
There is no allocated space for tunnels, if I understand how warp drive works, they project the tunnels and the environment around you clientside, the ship stays where it is, its just invisible to others until the ship arrives at its destination, so yet again, there is no such space in the map to do that. At least not for like 16 players max. Unless you want to have a 3*3*3m room to play with ?
EDIT : It would be a challenge because it would mean that donators could go in this free space, add their own stuff without a safezone and obstruct other player's rooms. Otherwise you'd need to code a script that removes access to noclip / building etc.. inside the zone unless you are in your safe zone, its not practical.
you misunderstand, there is an amount of free space in the map which people often say can be used to store ships during warp so they can remain in warp and allow them to walk around their ships while in warp. since ships are too big for the warp drive suggestion to work i think the space would be perfect for these addons.
But even then it means editing the map which isnt fun from what I know. And even then, this space is not big enough to fit space for up to 16 players while having some good amount of space.
It may present some challenges but nothing which cannot be overcome, the Doctor Who community is quite prominent on tscm however receives no support in the way of addons. What we’re requesting isn’t even necessarily Doctor Who based. Myself and others would greatly appreciate at least an attempt to implement these in some form and would definitely be put to great use.
It's up to Person to decide what to do. But on my side, I think it's doable.
What he really needs is a portal, like a render of the interior and a teleport setPos once you go through. Also, some maths for the perspective.
We could even do it through Starfall if we had the functions and would even help for cameras.
there's a problem with this if safe spaces spawn in any part of the playable map. World Portals render everything twice if you look in the right direction, so it would completely destroy any bad computer.
and for this not to happen, part of the addon would have to be recoded so it only looks for a space in a certain area of the map, so person would either have to ask the creator of the addon to edit it for tscm, or completely code the addon from scratch.

I think the addons were exemples and ideas, and not meant to be dragged and dropped into the server.
But what Jolly asks for is something completely different, portals.
Also, if it turns out too performance-expensive, we could always have an option to disable the rendering and have a more basic one or not at all.
Precisely the addons listed merely served as an example to illustrate the point.
I know that Skyrox, the owner of Caex, made an e2 extension that allow players to do their own "Tardis Rewrite", he made a simple extension that allow people to put their portals and the view from inside / outside... also as all the setpos system etc... I don't really know how to explain it, but basically, it is the "Safe Space" addon, but with e2, and people don't need free space as they build their own Interior and Exterior where they put their portals.
Reproduce something like this in Starfall / e2 should be possible (nothing is impossible to Person)
