This is a single player Stargate themed map, and its the first map I am actully hoping to release the public. I was going to wait until it was more complete, but progress is really slowed down due to real-life interferring.

Basic story: The Stargate program was never successfull until the Combine arrived and took over the complex. You have to infiltrate the base, secure the gate, and use it to reach ... somewhere else.

I hope to have the gate take you to other different maps (assuming I get it finished).

Theres already somebody working on a map exactly like this (not that you cant make one aswell) but personally, I think he might be doing a better job at it, although you have the design good, but everything just seems...out of place.

Well good luck to you.

Well to me it looks like the best rendition of Stargate I've seen so far (if you ignore the terrible quality screenshots, and that the facility should look 'newer' rather than having all that flaky plaster everywhere)

why is it people either go to large or to small :/

but please people, if you must get it wrong, go small.

I stated with large screen shots, but didn't want to upset Orph (I run at 1680x1050 and could hear him spasm just thinking about them). I do need to get some better quality shots posted, need to take more time to do them better.

I still need to go back and retexture a lot of the level, and add more details in many places.

I started out trying to get everything very close to the show, but then decided to do more of a 'based on' than an actual 'exact copy'. I found that when I tried to get everything accurate, the level of detail in the rooms was getting out of hand (framerates plunging fast).

Thanks Lep, now if I could only get a vertical water texture I'd really be happy.

Prop usage looks fine, base architecture and material usage could use more work though. You could also throw in some more variation in your lighting.

However, even I, who has only ever seen StarGate once, recognized that portal, so that's a good job done already. Keep it up, this looks like it'll become something good if you spend some more time to it.

Lighting, needs to be a little brighter, and you may need to make a few models to match Stargate Sg1 better, but otherwise, Good Job. Especially with the gate room, so many people screw that up so bad...

I'm availible to help once in a while, so if you want me to make a model or something, e-mail me smiley

Good luck.

Nice of you to dig up a 2 month old topic! You obviously don't watch Stargate much... or ever. The room is darker not lighter foo! [addsig]

Use my tutorial I wrote on Interlopers.net to add an iris door onto the gate.

And why pray tell, would you only have a tut of this nature.. there?

you have so many snarkmarks you can't use more, or are we unworthy of your time?

I wrote the tutorial when Snarkpit was down. I wanted to write some tuts for Snarkpit too but the site had been down for 2 months.

Pfffft, the control tower is ABOVE the stargate geez. <br> <br>Looks uncanny though. It'd be nice if it actually worked and sent you to other &quot;boxes&quot; in the map that have completly different habitats ... If only you could get water to render on it's side.

Looks pretty darn good. I love the concept behind the map. <br> <br>You could use the Combine shield screen to simulate the surface of the stargate transporter. I know it looks different from the one in the movies, but it's the closest thing I can think of (unless you want to custom make some texture).

The main stargate room needs to be much darker, and have small red lights above the doors.

Too bad there isn't a P-90 model in HL2SP...
