A little update on my part.
I've been messing with the particle effects for different parts of the mod that are already in-game. So far:

1. Almost finished with the Hyperspace Exit Effect. I am just tweaking a few small things to get the right size and timing.

2. Hyperspace Entrance/travel is done. I have completely modified the entrance effect to include a custom texture by one of our texture artists. Also I have added a 'flash' as the ship enters hyperspace.

3. The Asgard Beam weapons have been overhauled. Still in progress, but so far I have made the hit effect more pronounced as well as some extra effects. I plan to add small explosions upon the beams hit, also.

4. Railgun hit effect has been increased in size so there is a more noticable explosion effect.

5. Railguns are completely finished for the models in game. There are 3 or 4 different size of 'bullets' used by the ships, depending on the ship.

6. BC304's missile hit explosions are still being worked on. I like the look of the planet bombing damage, but I am trying to make it smaller.

7. Excalibur planet bombing beams. The Excalibur will be the only ship to use Asgard beams as a bombing weapon. There are 5 beams per bombing 'run.' Each beam causes the normal TEC's bombing effect, but the effect has been changed to a blue color.

8. I am currently trying to figure out how Bailknight has added smaller pre-explosions to the ship and planet module explosions. Once I figure that out, I will redo all of the aforementioned explosions.

9. Exhaust trails have been modified for the different ships to look better.

Once I get a good-looking effect for most of this stuff, I will post a video. I have just begun really messing with particle files so you'll have to give me a break if it takes me a while to get some of this done. The timings and size of the flashes for hyperspace exit and entrance have been a significant pain. They can't be too long or too short or the effect will look silly. And they can't be .1 second early or .1 second late for the same reason, but I'm almost there.

And again, I'm going to repeat EOmega. We are really in need of some texture artists. I especially would like to work with someone to get research icons in game. And I'm sure EO would like to work with someone to get ship icons in game. So if you're at all interested, please join us.

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll try that. I didn't even think about that. I was just trying to add more explosions to the explosion particle file and then change the timings.

Looking good, but in the first kaboom has the ship dissapear half a second too late, I find it looks best if you sync it with debris flying out, then it looks like the ship blew up proprely. Just like you have in latter explosions, so I don't know if you fixed it already.
Also, you might want to desync the smaller explosions, right now the front and aft blasts happen at the same time which looks sort of "off" (at least to me). A good pacing for "chain reaction" stuff is to have one small explosion, then a couple of rapidly successive explosions, then maybe two synced explosions followed closely by the final kaboom. Try it, you might like the result.

I think the PlayTime variable does not mean the length of the sub-explosion, but the timing. So PlayTime 3 would not mean the sub explosion is 3 seconds long, but that it starts after 3 seconds are up. Anyway, as I am in the process of making my explosions&debris mini-mod, I will share any interesting stuff I find.

its pretty nice, though no offence but these models, and textures especialy, aint nothin' compared to soa2.

Not bad. Will the Ori get a supergate?

I have high hopes for this mod. Textures need some work though.

Um... ? I was pretty excited about this mod until I realized one major problem in my eyes... Maybe this has been addressed earlier, but where are the Goa'uld? . I was dreaming of becoming my own system lord and crushing all who oppose me with my massive fleet of Ha'tak attack ships... If you just don't feel you have enough people on your team for something like this, I might be able to devote some time towards making some awesome Goa'uld-ness...

I'm not sure if anyone has thought of this or not but why not replace the wormholes with supergates - one supergate in each system or more depending on how many systems there are

Btw i think your doing a great job and good luck

Our plans exactly. If plan A doesn't work, which is Races being able to build Supergates at planets. They would have to be researchable, cost a lot, etc. But right now, there is no way to implement them that way. So, for now, we would like to have the Supergates replace wormholes and do the same things as wormholes. Hopefully, we can get some cool effects for activation and stuff.

I've talked about it with EO and I think, if we can find someone to devote time to it, we would like to release a map pack with the mod. That way we can have authentic maps to play on that would have strategically located supergates. We plan to do at least three, one for Pegasus, one for the Milky Way, and one combining the two, as well as others.

We appreciate all of the suggestions and support.

Thinking about the orbital gates, in theory you could use them as a creative form of hanger defense maybe? in which it has defense fighters come through? sorry if thats been suggested already.

Blooodfang gave me the idea, when mentioning the gates

These are a few quick questions

Have you planned out any research tree for the Tau'ri yet?

Also will the Tau'ri be able to use any ancient ships/ technology, (Aurora class warship, drone defenses, city ship)?

Last will the X-304 (Daedalus, Apollo, Odyssey) be a capital ship, because if not then it wouldn't make much sense to have one of the most powerful ships in the show be a cruiser.

this looks awesome keep up the good work i cant wait to play it when its done
