Original Stargate DHD - Change Log
-Version 4.0
Full rewrite of all scripts to made the DHD more efficient and also to reduce
server script time thus reducing sim script lag.
Cut down on the number of scripts needed to run the DHD.
Added a new function to the iris controls, the auto iris. This option allows you
to set the iris to close automatically on all incoming wormholes and then reopen
once the gate shuts down so that people can still use the gate to dial out.
(This function is for Arcturus gates only)
The hover text info display now turns off when the DHD as not in use. This is
purely for aesthetics as I know some people don't like hover text.
Gate request - Now anyone can walk up to an OS DHD and request their own
Arcturus Stargate pack via use of the menu. DHD also offers to send the request
for the owner if they still use the Cleary system. The DHD will only ask you
this once on rez.
DHD now records the gate name/alias for all incoming and outgoing wormholes as
to make redial and call-back more accurate. Used to just store the sim name
which would dial the main gate for that region. (This function is for Arcturus
gates only)
Remodelled the base of the DHD to look more like the DHDs on the show.
Made a new texture for the front middle of the base.
-Version 3.6 (Unreleased)
Fixed a bug that made the menu clash if you had another OS DHD rezzed within 20m
of each other.
Fixed a bug in the iris access list
-Version 3.5
Added support for the new Arcturus 3.0 gates which include support for Arcturus
Pegasus and Arcturus Milky Way.
Fixed a stack heap error in the Arcturus mode menu
Added an access list for the gates iris in Arcturus mode.
Changed the number display time out timer from 15 second to 1 minute as I found
people had to keep turning them back on to dial a number address
Fixed a bug in the favourites function which caused it to loose it's settings.
This bug only popped up in 1 or 2 DHDs but has been fixed anyway.
-Version 3.4
Fixed a bug where the inner ring of symbols in Arcturus mode would light up with
the wrong texture when told to light up via voice dial.
Updated the addressing system in Arcturus mode to match the new system used on
the Arcturus gates. Old system was 2-37, new one is now 1-36. Pre 3.4 OS DHD's
will no longer dial the correct address when direct dialling using the buttons.
Now supports the Alteran voice dial command "dhd:" So for example you can say
dhd:cleary and the DHD will show you the address as well as dial the gate.
As of version 3.4 the old email update server will no longer be used as it was
slow and kept breaking. OS Labs now use the hippoUpdate Server which uses HTTP.
Much better.
-Version 3.3
Updated DHD to work with the new Arcturus v2 gates, pre 3.3 OS DHDs will no
longer work with older Arcturus gates
Also fixed the textures on the sides of the symbol buttons, looks better now.
-Version 3.2.1
Fixed a typo that caused :22 to appear where :21 should have been in Cleary
mode. Oops, sorry guys. All fixed now.
-Version 3.2
Spent hours remodelling the symbol buttons to make them slope up towards the PoO
in the middle.
Changed a lot of commands to keep the DHD working with the Arcturus gates which
have now been fully released. You will need a new gate, pre 3.2 OS DHDs will no
longer work on Arcturus.
Added in functionality to lookup your gate address in Arcturus mode
Added in a special feature that will show an address of a voice dialled address
on the symbol pad.
-Version 3.1
Fixes a bug that was introduced by the Ori redial animation effect which
cripples direct dialling when in Cleary mode.
-Version 3.0
Finally after hours and hours of work the new version of the OS DHD with
Arcturus support is finally finished! =^.^=
This release works with the new Arcturus Stargate Network and supports all the
same features as the Cleary mode of the DHD.
New redial animation added in which is based off the Ori redial animation as
seen on Stargate SG-1 Season 10, Episode 11 - The Quest (Part Two)
Iris control has been moved from a prim button to the main menu which cuts off
one prim from the DHD and also restricts access to the function to everyone but
the owner as to prevent abuse.
A few minor database changes have been made over version 2.2
-Version 2.2
This is a RUSH UPDATE due to the new database ping being too low on the DHD
which caused the server it is hosted on to run out of memory and crash, which
brought down the new Arcturus gate network. Oops. We are not sure if it was the
DHD that caused this but as a precaution the ping time has been drastically
increased. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Version 2.1
Just a quick update before the release of the massive update that will allow the
DHD to be used on both the Cleary and Arcturus (Pegasus) gate networks.
This release is just a few very minor bug fixes, updated database that will
issue an update notice the second the next update is available which can be
acquired via the menu and "Update?" button. There are also some prim changes to
make it look more like the DHD on the show.
- Version 2.0
Added in the much requested sounds that can also be turned on or off by the
owner.
All textures now load faster then they used to and also some have been updated
with higher rez versions to make the symbols easier to read.
The DHD now has the ability to dial gates both on the Cleary and Alteran gate
networks.
Addresses with 5 or less symbols will now refuse to dial and trigger a DHD reset
Addresses with 6 symbols will dial gates on the Alteran addressing system
Addresses with 7 symbols will dial gates on the Cleary addressing system
Info text now displays the address being dialled on which network
Added a new button to the main menu that will display the gates current direct
dial address on the DHD's info text display.
- Version 1.3.2
DHD now gives the owner the help notecard on rez as some people had no ides how
to use the DHD, didn't even know it had a menu button.
Updated the guide to act as a HUD item now to save you having to rez it on the
ground. Makes dialling easier.
Fixed a bug where when pressing the symbols the corresponding number would not
appear, this is a bug that came out of the DHD code now using link messages.
This has now been corrected to now display the number again. Sorry if this has
been annoying you.
- Version 1.3.1
Added the ability for the owner to check for updates.
DHD database so people with out of date DHD's can get a free update.
- Version 1.3
Added in a setting that can change the DHD to look like an SG-1 or Atlantis
style DHD. Only the owner can control this.
DHD now resets and displays the text "Connection failed" when you try to dial an
incorrect address.
Direct dial addressing updated to comply with the new system as of gate OS 113.
Added in a last 5 incoming addresses history with the ability to call back the
last gate to dial yours.
Replaced all the text commands with a nice easy to use menu system which can be
accessed by touching the long button on the front of the DHD.
DHD no longer has any listens apart from the gate info one. Now uses link
messages which is faster and is lag free so you don't have to worry about your
DHD creating any lag, not a sausage.
- Version 1.2.5
DHD guide now has a text display saying how long is left until it deletes
itself.
Fixed a bug where only the owner of the DHD could get a copy of the guide when
"/1 dhd guide" command given. This now works for anyone using the command, as it
should have done in the first place.
Fixed a bug where sometimes the DHD will refuse to dial and the red dial button
will just turn on and off when touched.
Filtered out that first "incoming:" word on the gates incoming wormholes info as
the gate currently says it twice for some reason.
- Version 1.2.4
Gate info finally fixed. WOOHOO! Now shows "Wormhole established: <address here>
upon successful dial.
Taken out the protocol that stopped the gates ring spinning, due to popular
demand, that and the gate looks better when the ring spins.
Fixed a bug in the history that made it remember anything you tired to dial,
including stating "random" as an actual address. Now it only remembers the
address if the gate actually establishes a wormhole. Also works with the random
dial properly, which is good.
- Version 1.2.3
Gate info still broken, might have figured out a possible fix... still
frustrated
Fixed a bug in the history that that kept making the script hang.
New redial feature added allowing for you to simple redial the last address
dialled.
Changed dialling protocol that stopped the gates ring from spinning when
dialling via the DHD
- Version 1.2.2
Gate info sill broken, starting to get fed up.

Gate info with hex bug on established wormholes
