After two years of work, Stargate Network team is proud to finally introduce the Alpha of the new v4.0 version!

Thanks to the new launcher, it will download automatically every new update and install them for you once they are available.

This will allow us to share more easily minor or major updates.
Source

I had to change the title because it didn't make any sense.
 
That's cool, lets just hope it doesn't get shut down like a lot of fan made games do.

I would NEVER compromise the safety of the members on this site. It's a legitimate site and a legitimate mod that is even on moddb. This is a simulator for stargate which is one of the best franchise ever made. If you are into stargate, you'll love to play this.

Took me a while to figure this one out as well: Right-click, twice.
 
Hmm, installing/downloading, might as well go watch the SG1 episode I planned in meantime. There have been some attempts before at SG games but I've never seen one that would do SG justice. Not a fan of games based on books, movies, series etc. overall, and vice versa of TV adaptations of games.

This is not how it works. Holders of the rights for the SG franchisee are legally obligated to send a DMCA or the will create a precedent that will weaken their rights over the franchisee. If they don't do any action it is possible that the franchisee will become public domain. Disclaimer: I don't have any legal knowledge it is what I have understood from the recent events regarding WOW Classic servers.

No, I get that, I was just hoping for a bit of an introduction. Also, not all members are you - it should be encouraged.

There's also a difference between "bad links" and "things I shouldn't click on at work." The latter is more what I meant.
 
Well I can dial Abydos and open the wormhole but there is still no way to leave the single spawn room. All stairs are blocked by invisible wall, no doors open, 60fps locked and shadows and effects have to be lowered to almost minimum otherwise UE4 tanks to slideshow.
Don't tell me this took them several years.

Plus the symbols they use are referenced from where? As they are often rotated etc. compared to movie. Hell they even rotate them on their keyboard compared to the input fields.

As far as copyright goes, yes they will get massacred if they use the names and possibly even for "clone" with a different name if it's too much of a clone. One of the main reasons why pursuing games, movies etc. that use something made by someone else prior is a bad idea to begin with as you will get sued to the ground eventually.

MUHEHEHE I got out!

Oh yes, unlimited FPS

Same here, Can dial but not leave the control room.

I'm already out, there is console, just hack out with console

As in ingame console, TAB and tilde. The base is not finished that's why they don't let people out. And I don't know UE4 commands it's a complete mess to what I'm used to Quake/HL/etc.

Some useful there are, up arrow will show some 2 prederfined for collisions and FPS stats.

Code:

Code:
ghost = noclip but can't fly
t.maxfps 123 selfexplanatory, remove the stupid 60fps lock
walk = no noclip
fly = doesn't work :/
restartlevel = restart and return to beginning in case you fall down like I just did as I don't know how to fly
I might try get vaporized in the vortex LOL

This should be Abydos:


Or a black hole, use at your own risk

Well it certainly isn't Abydos and one doesn't get eaten by the vortex either. It teleports to a gate you can see out in the game level in a middle of nowhere, the moment you move you fall down to infinity.
No Abydos

Sadly I had both FRAPS and OBS running it recorded twice, FRAPS recording seems to work but OBS is stuttery seems low FPS, gotta reencode the FRAPS first :/ Few minutes almost 5GB eh.

DMCA means the copyright holder can wait until it's done then take possession of it and sell it for whatever they like AND sue it's creators for millions of dollars at the same time.

When making games like this you need to spend the extra little bit of time necessary to produce your own independent lore.

Or move out of US(and spy 5 altogether) and EU etc.
