Stargate ring transporters

[MakMak]

I wanted a new model for the panel too, so i decided to try my luck and came up with this :

[img]http://i34.servimg.com/u/f34/11/40/03/79/panel110.jpg[/img]

It's in 3ds max 9, and I am downloading the SMD export thing, what I need to know now is if there is something else I need to do once it's in .smd format before Cat can implement it in Garry's Mod.

Thanks

Wow nice model good work

Polycount looks a bit big on the top and bottom bits, otherwise looks good.
You need to compile it from SMD to MDL.

[QUOTE=MakMak]-snip-[/QUOTE]

I can compile it for you if you want.

[ray243]

so can you make another version that is more simple?

[MakMak]

Finally, here's the panel model in game:

I wish to thanks my friend Qw3rty18 for helping me in 3ds max and [GL]Gamer who solve my texture compiling issue.

Cat, you can contact me through steam(makmak17) I will send you a link to download it since I can't use Facepunch Private message system anymore...

[Catdaemon]

Can you not texture that a bit better? I don't mean to sound harsh but that looks horrible.

Ring Transporter V5e (Wire Edition)

Hey guys!!
Sorry about the wait on this. I showed this to Cat WEEKS ago, and i asked him if he would upload it and put it in his SVN ... (still waiting :P)
Anyway, i thought enough people has been asking for it, that i would upload it.

[Cat, if you want me to take this down, just say, no need to get my account banned!)

Inputs:
Dial Closest [1 to dial, 0 do nothing]
Disable [1 to disable, 0 to enable]

Outputs:
Ring Status [1 active, 0 not active]
Disabled [1 if ring platform is disabled, 0 if not]

For Download link, please see the next page

If you've edited the base or anything else remove it. All you need to have is your own panel which you can link to the base and fire wire at.
I don't want people releasing [B]versions[/B] of it because when I release a new one you're left with two levels - Especially if you don't update yours. All this does it cause problems.

It was not working a minute ago but it is working now. If it is still not working go to his profile link at [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/user/?u=33720[/url]

[meeces2911]

Sorry, i just deleted it and then uploaded it with aVoN's modifactions... so it should be good now.

The only reason i haven't just released the panel by its self, is because if i try to have the normal panel, and the wire panel together, spawning the wire one just spawns the normal panel. SO i have changed the spawn ENT name to wire_control_panel, rather than control_panel, THEREFOR i have to edit the base, in that all i do is change the base name, and what it pairs with.
(oh, and add the disabled var to it.)

If you have another way to do this, please either contact me on steam, or PM me.

If you give me temp. access to your SVN, i could modify both to work together, and just have one base, and two panels (ie, wire and non-wire.)

[b]Edit:[/b]

scratch that...
i'm uploading a new copy now.

[b]Edit:[/b]

I need you to do one thing tho cat, can you add the disabled var to your base ??
self.Disabled = false
would be great !!
At the moment, i'm going to have to add a replacement base init.lua file in my download.

wow, looks cool so far

[QUOTE=meeces2911]

The panel has [B]nothing[/B] to do with the base, it just fires functions on it! There is absolutely no need for a custom base at all! You can disable it by telling it it's busy.
EDIT: I just committed "ring_wire_controller" (but I didn't update the zips), test this out and tell me how it works. This is how it should probably work, no disrespect meant. I'll probably change the model to something smaller.

Aren't the ori rings the same width as the normal ones? I'm pretty sure they have 5 rings too. Find some video evidence of it having 6 rings and I'll do that for you once I have the model.

That looks fine, needs a skin.

[miriam]

White and "Ori" writing?

I haven't found anything about "Ori" symbols and what not.

[MakMak]

Sorry for the late reply but I had to study my exam.
I admit the first panel was too much "yellow" so here's a darker one that looks a bit more goldish.

Catdaemon I love your addon but there is a problem. I have Garry's Mod version 10 and for some reason I followed all instructions on how to use it. what happens is that I set up 2 ring bases, and one control panel. I activate the ring transporter, get in it and after the rings are in position. no glow effect occurred, I wasn't transported and the rings base which I'm on is frozen likely. I looked everywhere and went to your site and it said that it works on Garry's Mod 2007 which I wasn't sure if you are referring to Gmod 9. What are the requirements to get this mod working?

Did you even read? Cat has already said that he doesn't want to change the base to something big, bigger than the saw blade.

Edit:
Sorry for being so rude.

What do you think Cat?
If you like it.
I'll upload it to somewhere.

Er hi....I downloaded your ring transporters and I tried using it but I don't get teleported.Can you explain it?This is what i did.
1.spawn two or more ring base
2.name it
3.touch the control panel on the base
4.tried dialing
5.I hear the ring transporter sound and I don't get teleported.
Can you help me?
Anyway,can anyone give me the link to the newest ring transporters?

[Catdeamon]

New version, changes:
- Added a wiremod interface (works like a panel). Thanks to Meeces2911 for some help with that (idea+testing).
- Fixed the white flash effect staying on your screen forever (rare) (probably, difficult to test).

Download from the first page as always.

[tehbiga]

I like the idea of adding a choice to use the Ori models, here is a good image I found:

@miriam , if you look at the post above this it doesn't look so white (or round). It also has a lot more texture to it.

Then back to the drawing board.
