You need to resize gate effect bod file, you need to unpack this file - open with txt editor and change into the gate effect bod file - model size.
What mod you use, maybe I can resize gate effect bod file for you ?

How do you disable the gate animation effect (Event Horizon)? I remember seeing a script for it earlier in X3TC, don't remember what it was called...
Can you tell me what I can do or point me in the right direction?

[Zeron-mk7]

How do you disable the gate animation effect

This color effect 360° rotation - animation is defined into the "gate_effect" bod file (If I remember name correctly), in the texture parameters.

[Zeron-mk7]

@ cyanideghost
I checked, correct name is - "argon_gate_effect.bod", open file with txt editor - into the first texture parametrs line is defined 360° rotation - animation.
Into the first texture parameters line - is parameter with value:

Code: Select all

TexAnimRotation;SPTYPE_FLOAT;100.000000

Change this - 100.000000 to the 0.000000, maybe this will remove color effect 360° rotation - animation.

Hi,
would it be possible using different Effects at the same time on different gate-types somehow? Perhabs different models für north / east / south /west or at least usual gates and Accelerators? Different Models for each sector won't work, will it?

It's so difficult to choose because some of them are really pretty.

Edit:Maybe interesting - the Effect is working fine at Albion Prelude 3.0

Edit 2:
Would it be possible to change the direction of the Spiral-Effects or the direction of rotation? The effects are looking very nice and it seems right, that the "horizon" pulls everything to it's "center" but here it looks like the Effect is scratching at the border. just confusing me

Mod replace only vanilla gate effect texture, nothing more.
Into the game has only 6 gates or so, add different gate model to each gate (South, North, West, East, ...) and add each gate different effect texture, I don't think if its looks normal, there are already created few mods, who changing vanilla gate models.

Edit:Maybe interesting - the Effect is working fine at Albion Prelude 3.0

This mod works on all game versions.
