Seamless Tardis Entry

Name of Feature: Seamless Tardis Entry

Description: Entry to the Tardis doesn't bring you to the dimensional loading screen after being initially generated.

Lore/Brief Background: N/A

How does this affect gameplay: It's a fun detail that heightens the immersion. This feature would make the "it's bigger on the inside!" feeling a lot more real, and it would make it feel less like any other dimensional portal in the game.

Image(rough sketch/draft acceptable)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SYgtTSeLtc This video shows the Better Portals Mod being utilized for this effect, showing that it's indeed possible to code in.

Any other information: I'm unsure if this counts as "suggesting features from other doctor who mods", as i know other mods use a similar system? I feel, however, that it's such a neat and integral detail found in many Tardis simulations, and that it shouldn't count as such.

This would require constant loading of the tardis dimension, which would be very laggy, so we will likely never see this.

 

You can however, use BetterPortals to seamlessly transition as BetterPortals removes the loading screen from all dimensional travel even if the portal isn't see-through.
(You will have to edit the config to remove a weird transition effect however, also note this is a Server Side functionality, meaning it won't work on DMU)

Nope I tried this and it didn't work but idk perhaps it was something with me.

 Would it be possible to only load the dimension if both the doors are open and the player is in the vicinity of the Tardis? Perhaps even have it be a toggle-able thing like BOTI and SOTI both currently are.
