Stargate Mod Released

Recommended Posts

Ah, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your last but one posting. I'm using the Stargate Mod version from DSFProductions.

Anyways, I did as you said and looked into the example missions from the standard mod and realized what I did wrong. For anyone else having problems getting this to work:

Instead replacing gatein/gateout with P3-X1 etc. I had to give each gate a name variable and replace gatein/gateout with these.

So I named one Gate g1 and the second gate g2.

So the line has to be:

[this,g1,g2] exec "\SG_DHD\sqs\startAI.sqf"

Thanks for the help. smile_o.gif

If using the DSF Productions gate your line should read [this,g1,g2] exec "\SG_DHD\sqs\relay.sqf" for multiplayer compatabilty purposes.

We'll be releasing version 1.2 of our gate soon, i'd recommend waiting for that as it is a more advanced gate and more mission friendly.

DarkPhantom @ Feb. 10 2006,03:12)]Just for anyone thats interested...

The Stargate doesn't like ECP addon or CTI mods as for some reason conflicts with the scripts....unless DSFProductions. uses these Items your on your own band.gif

The problem is the main gate array is reset within these mods, causing the gates to display errors and become useless.

This problem has been fixed in v1.2, soon to be released.

Thanks a lot, Dingmatt, I wasn't aware of that.

Anyways, I just completed my movie of my upcoming SG missions using Operation Flashpoint with the Stargate Mod (and DSFProductions' gate), I felt they needed some kind of introduction as well as my way of saying thank you to those who made this mod possible for OFP:

http://home.arcor.de/Landorin/sg7.avi (9.9 MB, DivX required)

By the way, I'd be willing to change the movie slightly for an extra movie just for the Stargate Mod (might make it even more popular possibly), maybe by using different text for the Stargate Mod ads as well as introducing its developers (instead of an SG team). But that's up to the authors. You can send me a PM if interested.

In any case, let me know how much you like it or not like it, guys, I'm open for feedback. wink_o.gif

Oh, and stay tuned for the upcoming missions. wink_o.gif

Speaking of missions, does anyone know of some good addons which include some ancient stuff? Even ruins would be nice (but with no pictures or texts on it).

I searched ofp.info and noticed there are hardly any object addons available that fit into some older/ancient or future culture which would be useful for Stargate missions.

If you haven't checked out Lukemax's Stargate island which he released a few days ago I suggest you do wink_o.gif In the required addons you will find some addons which I think fits perfectly into a Stargate based missions.

Great video, loved the intro, which reminds me have to watch the new episode of SG1 wink_o.gif

I haven't checked that out yet, thanks. smile_o.gif However, the download link (http://www.ofeat-forum.de/release/AEF_Phoenix_Island.rar) doesn't work (error 404). sad_o.gif

Were including so in the 1.2 release, were using them to show gate addresses but i'll include clean ones as well.

Here's a tech video of our progress on version 1.2 of the gate, its almost complete and should be released shortly.

Thanks. smile_o.gif The video looks very promising. smile_o.gif However, the download was awfully slow (around 6.7 kb/s). Would you mind if someone mirrored the file (I might)?

edit: mirror: http://landorin.cybton.com/tech5.avi

By the way, I tried to fly the F302 and either it's just me or that thing is really realy hard to fly (you steer just slightly to left/right and it rolls almost fully around). :/ But I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask that or was the F302 addon developed by the same authors?

Speaking of that, is DSFProductions in need of beta testers for the Stargate Mod? I'd volunteer. wink_o.gif That's the best I could do to support this project (besides making movies wink_o.gif ).

About the Stargate island by Lukemax: I think I got the wrong one (Phoenix Island). I searched the entire thread here but can't find a link, can anyone provide one?

Please!

It should help take the load off and make it all better for everyone.

"[this,g1,g2] exec "\SG_DHD\sqs\startAI.sqf""

"If using the DSF Productions gate your line should read [this,g1,g2] exec "\SG_DHD\sqs\relay.sqf" for multiplayer compatabilty purposes."

I've notice alot of peopling using script commands, like above. I also looked at the missions included with the stargate mod archive on the Opflash mission editor. I have no idea what they mean though, or how to use them, or how to input them, etc. Yeah, I'm a noob sad_o.gif Is there any really good website to learn? Cuz I'd really like to

Thanks to any replies!

wing are to big to go in the gate ...

I've found the little armed 007 jet works pretty good for gate travel. I wish the aircraft was more stable with a stick ,but it still works.

Just be warned that you lose control for about a second or 2 on the other side of the gate.

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Do you want the gate to dial by itself or do you want to use a radio command to start the dial process?

Anyways, if you put this line into a script or into an init line of a unit (even the gate itself) it will start dialing by itself in the moment that line is executed. You just need to name the gates in the editor (i.e. type g1 into the name field of the gate and g2 into the name field of the other gate) and use the line in the quotes.

In case you still don't understand, let me translate the line:

[this,g1,g2] exec "\SG_DHD\sqs\relay.sqf"

[this unit (or name variable), name variable of gate 1, name variable of gate 2] exec (this will make the unit execute a script) "name of script" (relay.sqf is within the Stargate Mod file and will start the dial process so you don't need to create this file).

So let's say I have 3 units placed in the mission editor: 2 gates and a soldier. The soldier will be named John, gate 1 will be Gate1 and the 2nd gate will be named Gate2.

Then the line would be:

[John,Gate1,Gate2] exec "\SG_DHD\sqs\relay.sqf"

Now the unit John will execute the script (if he got that line in his init field) and gate1 will start dialing and establish a wormhole with gate2.

That line, as mentioned earlier, can also be used in a trigger or script. Basically in anything that can execute scripts.

As a general note about many people using scripts: I used to use a lot of triggers for my missions until I noticed how easy scripting can be (at least when it comes to executing commands by a script, there is also more advanced stuff possible with scripting) and I'd really recommend to script as much as possible so your map isn't full of triggers (in which you will get lost sooner or later).

What's the init line? How do I name a unit? If I double click, the only fields are its side (east, west, civilian, etc), the category (air, armor, support) and then the unit itself (DHD, soldier, spetznats, etc.)

Like I said, I've never even tried this before, so I have little idea what I'm doing
