This has so many levels of awesomeness !

The red one would be my favourite without the ugly smiley.

I'd totaly add the 1st one to my game right now, though !

So, where's the download link already? :P :lol:

Nice work, I'll use them. :D
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

The texture itself is static, but it does rotate like the original event horizon

not asking for you to recreate a stargate, all I want is the event horizon effect that takes affect after dialing, rippling surface to be precise.....

I'll release a static version later tonight as an SPK and a drop in install (not CAT/DAT).

I have a 3rd version which is more like the original which I'll post too.

For the fire smilie I could probably make an angry red/orange one too.

Gimme about 6 hours :D

hmmm.. i have trouble finding out why the horizon turns...
The gate isn't using animated textures nor have animated helpers..
hmmm ~ hmmmm..

somewhere somehow is telling argon_gate_effect.bob to spin...

Well we have a release, let me know if the SPK's work or not ;)

If they don't I'll fix them when I wake up. 4am is not the best time to upload a release :lol:

Oops I forgot to define the install folder for the SPK's :$

Redownload the SPK version and it should work fine now :)
