hrm.. i dont really like that phase gate very much <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> . Looks to me like the original phase gate with the jetpack from the warhammer player skins. Not a huge difference. I was thinking of something like having roof that is the same height as the marines. So have 3 bars that are telescopic going up to roof type area which is pretty much the bottom half mirrored and flipped upside down (but without the crap sticking out like those pipes and that yellow hazard box thingy). I would gladly do any textures required to make the rest of the model. I drew a quick pic of what i thought. Hopefully some1 who can model would like to work with me on this. If you would you can PM me.. or e-mail me: tjmhay@hotmail.com.. or even better yet chat with me on AIM : TJMHay.
one little problem, your gunna want it to "animate" the top going up.... which isn't possible....
and phase isn't on the bottom of the list, but YOUR phase is... along with everyone else's requests....
i'm making another one, with bars... but they are "granny" bars... to help you get in.... only problem with them, is the DON'T help you get OUT *telefragged*
i never said u had to animate it. Whatever this is just a suggestion.. if u dont want to do it fine. I just read that other thread complaing about too many requests. guys if we were all modellers then there would be no requests cause we'd do it ourselves. Since we rn't we have to ask someone. Just because you can model doesn't mean we are going to pestering you about it.. and since when was there any harm done in asking.
it's not a fact of too many requests, it's too many requests filtering out the releases....if you want me to build you something, you've gotta get me interested.... take a look at the things people are doing, and make your descision carefully about who you propose to do your "way cool" project...
if you want ME to do something for you, it's either gotta be really easy, or something that i think is completely awsome...
----
if i edit a model, and it's got the basic phasegate in it... will it still light up when it's built?
sure..because the light and the particles are hardcodet....
so the stargate ppls will be pretty **** about a animated idle sequence,the light,and the particles <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> you can remove the sprites for the particles and replace them with zer0s...but it still looks odd <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well with what's been said couldn't you take like the stargate model I found and animate the water (ie. waving) and change the color or shape of the sprites ie in to like a blue glowing thing or something. If we could do that or something to the effect or enforcers idea that would be realy cool.
I had an idea ever since the patch where you have to use a phase to go thourgh, add a console to the middle so it looks like you <i>have</i> to use it to work, I also know that in order for a really good teleporter system to work it has to either be a volumetric (teleports objects within a set of xyz axis)Ex. ring teleports on Stargate, a fixed point "gateway" system (area within a set of points acts as a portal, by entering through an outer superstructure, all matter passing though is teleported automatically Ex. The stargate, and the beam convergence teleport (multiple beams sent up from a base at acute, and converging angles will, at the point of beam convergence, create a portal at the points. Ex. Earth based teleports in Halflife (teleporter "balls" resting on a pedistal) of all these, the volumetric idea fits very well with the phase as it now works. Below you will find a MSpaint rendition of my idea (too bored to draw by hand right now)
by standing below the ring at the top (this thing is round {and too thick}) and using the console (not hitboxed, just for looks) one uses the teleporter. the sprites come up below the center of the ring, and should be totally dispersed (read: GONE) by the top of the ring (if i made it right)
The guys who want stargate for Phase Gate,it wouldnt be realistic,you can have only 1 gate dialed at 1 planet,if other is active neither will dial or take dials.
Warhammer 40k teleporters, are huge and ornate, with signs floor mounted that are inscriptions by the adeptus mechanicus, noone has depicted these, it would be near imposible to replicate......as it needs a whole room to teleport 5 men, who then travel thro warp space to their destination, sometimes ariving minutes, days, months or even years after they were initially sent

Oh you mean 40K... That concept is so ****, how could you possibly still be using bullets in the year 40 freaking thousand? I don't buy the whole "lets play with a billiondy-seven and a half points."

The concept is that they are no longer bullets, they are mini missiles, the solid projectile weapons in warhammer 40k used by the space marines fire rounds that have their own fuel source and velocity increases after the round has left the weapon, this however does not explain why people insist on using mussle flashes for these weapons, as they have none, as stated in many texts, they make little noise also, the reason they dont all use laser weaponry is the technology for these were lost along with many technologies, and the heavier laser weapons just cant be replicated in sufficient numbers. The lighter rifles and Pistols are common place as they are easy to replicate and many techs know how, but they are too weak for armies such as the space marines to use. OTHER solid projectile weapons do use bullets but these weapons are used solely due to cheapness and easy of constuction. (Ex games-workshop emplyee)
IVE GOT IT!!! Everyone has seen bill and ted's excellent adventure...and bogus journey..and if you havnt you should be shot on principle...but you could make the phase gate a phone booth...no animations just a phonebooth....the flashy lights are already there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
