There are plans to rev up the particle effects that the portal produces, but those are top secret and still in the works It wont mimic Stargates but it hopefully will look much cooler.
Sorry, I meant to write this bit into the wiki but it slipped my mind (I'll do it in a second). Portal Controllers need to be against the air blocks that will comprise of the portal area. They don't even need to be in the portal frame itself. However, there is an issue that will be temporarily resolved in the next release that may play havoc in larger portals.
Yes, there is a module called the Facing module that you'll be interested in.
Haha you thought of everything! Thank you for helping me out and thanks for such a cool and fun mod!
Having issues creating a portal, keeps giving me the "cannot be created at this location" bs. I looked around for the exact rules and the wiki is pretty vague, its a simple 4 tall 3 wide enclosed portal. I tried putting it right on top of a stone brick floor, then I tried plopping it into the floor so where you walk in is level with the floor and still no go. It's fully enclosed, no diagonal blocks. Any help appriciated.
basically:
OOO
O O
O O
OOO
is how it looks.
I had this problem and I was because my portal controller was the the corner block of my portal. I moved the controller block to a space other than the corner and I was able to link it just fine. Not sure if that is the same problem but you might try it.
Is there a way to pick what side of the portal you will exit from when returning through from another portal? I am always facing the wrong direction when I exit my portal back to my home base.
