I love warpgates but i have always wanted to see an upgraded version like a bigger gate to go through and new GX's or even a barier for the warpgate so people know where is going to be and can be deployed in a different spot. well anyway i wanted to hear people's opinions on what they think and if there is anyway to make them bigger or upgrade them :) Thanks

    A warpgate to other servers.

    No stupid, he meant a better looking WG.

    Linkers was pretty nice, I enjoyed the simple, yet good "warp gate" like style to them.

    But it would be neat if someone could make a WG that spawned next to the unit in a fixed location.

    a warpgate to TX, a warpgate to BC.. cool

    instead of having a warpgate to a determined pos in the gamespace, have a warpgate that goes to another warpgate in another server.

    rofl, that would take ALOT of coding, but it would be pretty cool.

    Let me break down some of the necessities of doing that, maybe the new auth server will open up some opportunities like this.

    1) Connect To All Cons Servers Linked By These Gates At Once, But only assign the client to one.
    2) Make the trigger on the gate switch the server that the client is in (Really Hard)
    Subprocesses:
    -1) Disconnect The Client From The Current Server
    -2) Check The status of the client on the new server (Is he Kicked/Banned ect.)
    -3) Connect the client to the new server
    -4) Set up a Sub-Connection to the Existing Server if he re-enteres the portal.
    3) Set up details from the existing server to the new server.

    Yeah, If you can accomplish those principal steps, I invite you to try it out. :D

    It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard... Mazo and I wanted to do stargates to other servers.. dial an address and walk through. (IP address, perhaps?)

    You could just disconnect the client, and make them join the new server, yes? And maybe check that the server exists. And do some things to speed up the loading process

    Or... you could just write an 8 line client side script that prompts them for server change confirmation, and an IP address to the target.

    It's really not hard, but if you want to add in a GUI-pushing Star-gate-ish address component (i forget the star-gate sg-1 name) that could show a list of the servers relayed from a TCMS like script. Actually, we could use a modified TCMS.

    Then the server we'd want to connect to for aesthetic purposes would require a star-gate also. so, that leaves a client side and a server side for the script.

    the script could automatically load a gate when the server loads...

    I forsee this being really awesome... maybe i'll start work on it now. :)

    Dial Home Device or DHD.

    Don't forget, there would have to be server-to-server communication, to transfer client details (like current loadout, score, etc...) and to let the receiving server know that said client is "dialing in" (unless you just make everybody spawn through the gate. ;)

    Yah, i had that in mind, but neglected to mention it, instead i talked about loading an awesome warpgate building. lol

    Yes, But what happens if access is denied? They get removed from their current server. Maybe I could have been less complex on that issue, But I'm just speaking in terms of "what if".

    Sounds awesome. And to speed up the loading process a bit is to make sure the client doesn't delete any loaded datablocks that are required on the target server. Like from BC to ACCM Official Server. Any datablocks that match are not deleted, and ones that do not are discarded.
  • JJoshzilla
    It would cool to have something like a stargate to different servers. But there should also be an fx to go along with it to make look like a real stargate. Also it would be cool to make a flyer like on the sow to go threw it. :)
  • ergo46ergo46
    That will be so cool.I made a game like tribes2 and it it called tribes75. I made it a week ago
    You. Can build in it to.I got accm I changed to and the warpgate go to diffent severs.I am. Working to sent my ship I have 67 ships and army.but I and trying sent it to tx and bc.I will put the game on this website.for free

    Send a ping to the server, when you input the address, we can make it just like SG-1, if the address is good, the cap is not full, no password(can have a IDE code like sg-1), the gates not currently in use, the gate activates with an awesome *WOOOSHH*, and stays open for like 5 mins, or some crap, prolly less, and the server will accept clients.

    :DDD
  • llurch89
    I agree w/ Joshzilla. Definitely need some Stargate FX.
