Quantum Gate (Stargate Edition) ---Index--- Overview Contents & Permissions Selecting a Destination with the DHD or a Chat Command Dial the last selected destination by Toughing gate Walk though the gate to be Teleported Setting up your new Gates Built in Help Page ---------- * Overview * The Quantum Gate is a inter-sim teleporter that permits you to "open a connection between two portals", then "walk though an open portal" to be teleported to the destination. The most popular appearance of this teleportation method is a Stargate from the Movie/TV that opens a wormhole between two locations, then lets people travel though it to the destination. As such this Quantum Gate has been designed to look and behave like a StarGate from the TV show. * Contents & Permissions * Quantum Gate : (3 Prims) : NO-MOD / Copy / NO-TRANS DHD : (5 Prims) :NO-MOD / Copy / NO-TRANS (Plus temp keyboard that does not count against land prims.) Stand : (5 Prims) :NO-MOD / Copy / NO-TRANS Instruction Notecard : MOD / COPY / TRANS * Selecting a Destination with the DHD or a Chat Command * Each gate has it's own address that takes for fomat of xxx-xxx just like the TV show. Unlike the TV show the Quantum Gate also has two automatic alias addresses assigned to it based on it's location. They are the name of the region, and the name of the parcel of land the gate is over. Setting a gates destination can take one of the following forms:- Dial by Address : /q P3X-415 Dial by Region Name : /q Quantum Dial by Parcel Name : /q Quantum Products Region names and parcel names can be truncated to the right when being used. eg: "/q quantum pro" would match a parcel called "quantum products". However "/q quantum" could match the parcel "quantum products" or the region "quantum" depending on which Quantum Gate was placed in world first. This is why each gate also has a unique gate address xxx-xxx to avoid confusing when dialing a destination with an ambigious land name. There is one additional alias you may use to set your gates destination, called RANDOM. When random is used as the name of a destination with the "/q random" command the destination gate will be a mystery destination. The Quantum Gate comes with a replica DHD that resenbles the one used on the TV show "Stargate SG1". Unlike the TV show it also has numbers and letters printed in small writing on the top of it's buttons, so that you dont have to remember all those symbols to dial your gate using the DHD. To use the DHD you enter the gate address (xxx-xxx) on the keypad to set the destination, and then press the middle button to dial that address. Be carefull not to confuse the number Zero and the letter O. You can change your gates address by deleting it and then placing a new gate in-world. The new gate will have a new random address. The "HELP" command will tell you the gates address. * Dial the last selected destination by Toughing gate * Assuming you didn't dial with the DHD... Once you have set a destination you may attempt to connect to that destination by touching the gate to make it dial. (A gate will remember the last address that was dial and it will re-dial it every time someone touches the gate until a new destination is entered into the gate. This was done to make the gates easier to use for noobies. ) If you have selected a valid destination the gate will open a portal after it has finished dialing, or it will fail to open a portal if the destination address was invalid. (just like the TV show) * Walk though the gate to be Teleported * Once the Portal is open you may walk though the gate to receive the SecondLife teleport MAP, at which point you press TELEPORT to arrive at the destination. Other people who are watching you dial the gate may also trevel to the same destination by opening the URL they will be given when they walk though the gate. The last method to travel is by touching the event horizon (puddle of water) in the middle of the open gate. (This method will be familar to people who are used to using the older stargates in SL that do not automaticly open the map page for you.) * Setting up your new Gates * The gate will be able to dial other destination the moment you place it in-world, but it will not receive incomming connections until you give it a photo of the location it is at. IMPORTANT :- Your gate will NOT be able to receive incomming connections until after you place a snapshot into the inventory of the gate. This snapshot will be dispalyed behind the puddle of water when other people dial into your gate. The best effect can be obtained by standing in front of your stargate and taking a snapshot of what people would see if they were really looking through your gate. Please do not place advertising textures in your gate, it looks crap! REMEMBER : If you do not place a snapshot in your gate, it will not be able to receive incomming connections from other gates. * Built in Help Page * When you say "HELP" while standing in front of the Quantum Gate you will receive the following help information. ******************************************************************************* * Selecting the Destination * Select the destination as either a Region Name, a Parcel Name, or a Portal Address. If you are unsure of the location you want to connect to, you may select a random destination by using the name "random" as the destination. The portal will use the selected destination until it is given a new one. Syntax : "/q " OR "/q example : /q Quantum Products ******************************************************************************* * Traveling through the Portal * TOUCH the gate to open a portal to the selected destination. Wait for portal to open. You will see a vortex appear inside the portal. You will be able to see the destination through the vortex. Walk though the vortex to travel to the destination. Click the TELEPORT button on the map page that appears. You will be transproted to the selected destination. If you have friends traveling with you they may also be given the map page by TOUCHING the open vortex inside the portal. ******************************************************************************* The address for this portal is : NBR-3D7 <--- [This is an example address, your one will be different - Darling Brody] *******************************************************************************
