Random Wormholes

[Gibbon]

hello all,
have you ever been wondering what the difference is between a jumpgate and a jumphole?
well, short answer: there are few ..
have you ever wanted to change something here? if so, you may like what i got here.

myself i thought about a way to make jumpholes somewhat spicier, i thought it would be nice if jumpholes would be a little like wormholes.
i mean theoretically, if you "dock with" a wormhole you do not know where it`s gonna take you. (of course, theoretically there are some other aspects that come to mind as well, for ex.wormholes aren`t stable -but the possibilities are limited)

this is about making random wormholes, here we go:

the main approach is to have many jumpholes with slight position offset and to make them not appear on the map (visit = 128), then add an object using wormhole effect to make it look better -and to be able to find the place again.
it`s just ini coding,
off to the required files now ..

that`s it already, go ahead with questions if you have any.

what is random: you don´t know which jumphole you have targeted and therefore you don´t know where you`re gonna jump to.
if you like it or not, i like it and i bet there are some who feel the same.

I have some question :

1. The "goto = system_08, system_08_other_side" of "system_08_other_side" is a jumphold or something else ?

2.If I use your entry to do, they has eight jumphold in same time or not ?

Thanks for your help.
