Stargate Iris, New sfx and slight mod suggestion Options

[PerfectAgent007]

I recently downloaded the sgc_iris and iris_brophis movies that preview the iris on the stargate. While I find them absolutely beautiful I would like to make a suggestion and show what I have to offer. Brophis if you could either slow down the iris opening by a tiny bit or delay the iris opening by about 0.3 to 0.4 seconds and then play the sound effect this works incredibly with my iris opening sound effect. I also have a revised edition of your sgc_iris movie (I'm assuming that it was yours). As of now I'm still going through my DVD's to find a good iris closing effect but the one I have below is the iris opening from episode 4x21 Double Jeopardy.

NOTE: I would suggest right-clicking on the links and then using "Save Target As" to download these instead of clicking on them because quite frankly I think Geocities is a piece of shit and I don't know why I used them in the first place.

Please let me know what you think everyone and whether or not they can be used.

Ya i think iris is 2 fast.. Slowing down sounds good

[[SGR] Instinct]

hmmm-i dont think i like the sound for the opening you have given...

sorry but there is a better one floating around, brophis has decided to use this one, personally i prefer it but it is totally up to brophis and the team is it is going to be changed.

[PerfectAgent007]

Any chance you or Brophis could post the effect?

I'm just desperate for previews of this thing

[Brophis]

The iris is actually too slow! I saw it in an episode recently!
I will try these sounds out but not until friday as i don't have access to my computer at the moment
I was hoping to get a new opening sound as i wasn't happy with this one, il have to wait and see if i like it...

I also have a revised edition of your sgc_iris movie

What's that?

here are the links of the vid mentioned:

sgc_iris.zip

Any chance you or Brophis could post the effect?

What effect?

Brophis you will need to make it so if the iris is closed when a connection is trying to be established the connection fails.

They say this in one of the episodes or more.

so if you are dailling out or there is an incoming wormhole they will not complete connection - it will prob make the initial qwer noise but then go to the fail noise!

[Atlantin]

Hmmmm.. You are trying to mean.. When iris is closed You cant Dial Other Side? Well , At episode's you can.. Explain if im wrong

[PerfectAgent007]

For those of you that are having trouble downloading my revised stuff from Geocities I'm not surprised (I told you it was a piece of shit). If you still want everything contact me on AIM at PerfectAgent0068 and I'll give you an FTP link to my computer. Just one little thing though: I only speak English and semi-fluent Spanish, no French (sorry).

[PerfectAgent007]

Oh Brophis you were actually right about the iris being too slow but what you need to do to make it accurate is make it go faster until you get the overleaf effect (when closing the iris) and slow when it overleafs. AKA when the iris is closing initially make the thing close fast and then when the panels start to overlap slow the thing down. When opening the iris do the reverse of this. Then you'll have an accurate iris, and the sound effect I posted (again contact me on AIM to get the thing via FTP) will be really cool.

[Brophis]

Brophis you will need to make it so if the iris is closed when a connection is trying to be established the connection fails

Sorry but thats nonsence!!!
Of course a connection can be established, the gate still opens when the iris is closed, however there is no kawoosh.

For for acceleration and deacceleration of the iris, this isn't possible with the func_door_rotating entites used for the iris, sorry. the perfection of the iris is limited by Half-Life

Perfectagent, can you email me the file or send me a different link on a PM? Thanks

Here's a link to my FTP server that has the two files everyone's looking for:

ok brophis...im sure they said it was not possible if the gate was obstructed...like if they bury it it will not work because anything very close to the gate does not allow it to open as it requires the kawoosh to realease energy?? or something like that

[Brophis]

yes something can block the gate from opening if the inside of the ring is covered but the iris is just in front of where the event horizon forms, just enough for the gate to open

Brophis is right. In reference to the episode 100 Days, the stargate gets burried on Edora and a connection cannot be established because there was rock all the way through the gate. The difference between that and the iris is that the iris is placed approximately 3 microns away from where the event horizon is formed, therefore allowing a wormhole to be established but no matter can exit the wormhole.

[Atlantin]

I think the reason is , There no WAy where wormhole Go. Like Sgc , There is up Place where wormhole go , And if there's iris it can take it back , Or i dont know

[Brophis]

I got a chance to try out the mpeg and wav over the weekend, here are my comments:
- I don't like the sound because there is obvious backing music with the sound
- The only thing better about it is that it has the slamming sound of the iris slotting back into position when it opens
- I will try cut this part and incorporate it into my own sound
- The reason you may think it sounds better is because it's 44kHz quality, HL uses 22kHz so the wav doesnt sound as good once it is converted

Last and most important:
You should not have modified my video of the iris without consulting me, that really annoyed me.
The least you could have done was name it something differently and gave me credit in a text file or even when you posted the file
