[QUOTE=vnwez123;14021192]Ok I figured there would be no possibility of it being uploaded, but I don't appreciate you just assuming that since it would be a beta or unfinished that I would call it crap and hate it for ever even when it's good when you don't know me and what I'm like, I think you need a serious attitude readjustment this isn't the first time you've been rude to me for asking harmless questions and you reply in an unprecedented and offensive manner, you should be thankful that people take an interest in what you do, I myself am a big fan of Stargate and not just a somebody that thinks it's cool and never heard of the Movie and or TV series, people look up to people like you, crushing them like there nothing really sucks the least you could do is fake it.[/QUOTE]
Sorry if it sound rude. What I was about to say is simply it shouldn't be uploaded public. You may PM him and get access to it (e.g. I have access to it). But a public-release before it is done and reliable generally tends to people judging it on that state. And even if it gets better until release people remember "how bad it worked" in earlier stages so they still say "it's bad".

It's ok dude I'm sure you didn't mean to be rude, I'll PM the dude and see if I can get a tester.
maybe you could ask the creator (of the following) about this: [url]http://www.wegame.com/users/cdbarrett/videos/[/url]

I asked Jinto (aka, same person you are referring to) about physics clipping. He told me he never actually wrote the module for it, but that he knew how it could be done. You need to calculate which vertices lie outside of the clip plane and then essentially ignore them and rebuild all the remaining ones into a new physics object. It's not exactly impossible, but it wouldn't be easy either.
ok then :)
I think it's sad that the homeworld hyperspace thing and the portal gun was never released :(
He stated exactly why. He does those videos under strictly pre-planned and prepared conditions and wouldn't want to deal with people complaining about it not working correctly all the time. I know exactly what he means when he says this.
That makes perfect sense, but still; I can't help, but feeling sad for not having it ingame ;)
So what are the problems with it at the moment? Are you still working on the collision stuff?
I started trying out the guardian module, but it doesn't always work. I just discovered that some of the siphoning calculations must be off a few days ago when I made the horizon mobile by parenting it to a gate because it was not working right.
The objects still crash into the world when they go through the horizon, and I have no reliable way to turning off the gravity and then restoring it to it's original state.
So yeah, the physics are the main concern right now. Though I've been working on and off, it's mostly been me ignoring it. Too much crap to deal with. I think my new projects are much more interesting and rewarding... so... yeah.
Simply fascinating.
Now that i think about it, having it invisible but collide is still an improvement on what we have now.
Also what are your other projects?
Bah, you skipped all the important collision tests you noob! Or deliberately avoided them because you know that you'd be able to physgun the prop on the other side of the portal unless you added some CanPhysGun crap! That + trying to run into the part which is still 'solid'. To be fair, the best way to handle that bit is to use a plane side equation with the collision hook module. Gods.

Calm down dude, there is a PhysgunPickup hook wich disalows a player from grabbing a prop and there is a way to make props not collide with the ones on the otherside of the gate while not with the others (Guardian module).

I don't like to expose projects before they're done. This thread was a huge mistake in and of itself. I was hoping for more help on trying to fix it than just people just asking for a release...

n00b... yes... thank you for that. Actually, you can't physgun it from the wrong side. I'm sorry I didn't bother to show everything in a video I chose to make for your enjoyment, boo hoo.
Yes, the guardian module is working with it, and yes it is using a directional comparison to determine collisions as well as integrated entity variables for quick comparisons when possible to avoid calculations.

Guarian uses the setsolid none and it can't distinguish from actual players colliding and just a player using a physgun. So it will not allow you to pick up entities from the wrong side.

I give up, no one was really of any help and I don't play gmod very often anymore.
Here's the SVN link:
[url]http://wip-eventhorizon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/[/url]
I don't know about the username/password, probably anon or anonsvn... whatever google code uses as its default.
Things you will need, Jinto's Render Library (yes there are working links in the thread):
[url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=620137[/url]
Things you might want, the guardian module for touch hook awesomeness (buggy, also there are working links in the thread):

There are some config option at the top of the entity's init.lua file. Feel free to mess with them.. if you want to.
The .bak and .txt files are there because I did make some crappy backups and I wrote down some idea tests... I don't really care if you all see them anyways.
So yeah, modify it all you want, I don't care to further this project anymore.
If you want to ever release it or use it in a video I'd appreciate some credit for it.
It's only really useful for videos and pictures as it is now because if just deletes/kills entities.
This is amazing! Thank you for the release!
Nice try ZeikJT, it is very nice! Awesome job!
Hey i put the eventhorizont into addons and were should i install the "gmcl_renderx.dll"?
and if everything is wrong can you tell me how to install the hole thing? please
I see you there, Bleckdragon.
Also, is any one doing anything with this yet?
Nope, nothing so far, I just had a play around with it in-game, very fun to just do random shit with... :v:

Can you jury rig something with a asguard teleporter to teleport things with the EH? In wire I mean.
No idea, I didnt test it. Just download it and find out. It's not that hard.

wait so hes not going to finish it now?
[QUOTE=Stars1477;14859160]wait so hes not going to finish it now?[/QUOTE]
Nope, guess he lost interest. At least he released what he had done though, that way people can continue it if they want.
wait what hes giving up? come on you just started it would be nice to have this in gmod with avons stuff,,, i hate that when someone dangles meat over the lions cage and then takes it away geesh
[quote=locutus_1]i hate that when someone dangles meat over the lions cage and then takes it away geesh [/quote]
and its comments like that that probably made him stop
I didn't take it away. I did the kind thing and released what I had! If you want it to be perfect then you edit it or start from scratch...
Simple as that. Though a few people (that I know of, there might be more) have already begun to add to it.
Look for the Atlantis Addon Pack.
