Introduction
Stargate Mod is a collaboration of different addon teams, mainly BXBX and DSF productions. The goal of the project is to creat addosn that are realistic to the series and to real life. Although the mod was initially made for Operation Flashpoint the mod creaters have both announcd that no further work will be made on the releases for flashpoint. All efforts of the team are now focused on getting the gates to the Armed Assault engine. DSF have announced the conversion of the 1.4 gates to Armed Assualt under the new name "DSF Unofficial StarGate Simulater V1".
History
The Stargate was a mod dream since 2002. Its first incarnation failed to release any addons and the mod eventually collapsed. However in 2005 BXBX and Honza SG-1 begun the creation of a new Stargate Mod. In August 2005 the V1 Stargate system was released allowing OFP users for the first time to simulate the stargate TV series. From this point the mod has gone from strength to strength, releasing SG units, weapons packs, Jaffa, Death Gliders, F302s, and more gate updates. Recently a new developer (digitalae) has appeared and is making accurate scale versions of various items seen in the TV series such as Atlantis. Certain Projects are now under joint collaboration between digitalae and the rest of the Stargate Mod team.
In November 2005 DSF productions team that are well known in the OFP community for making realistic and heavily scripted addons such as the SCUD pack, began to make the Stargate MP compatible. This objective was completed, but since then they have aspired to make the stargate simulator more realsitic to the TV series. The 1.3 stargate system has manual dialing features, working GDO, Automatic Iris protection, and the wormhole sequence. Since this point the development of the stargate has had two working versions, BXBX V1 gate is quick and simple to use, but lacking aspects of realsim, while the DSF gate takes longer to get working in the game editor but has a boosted relativism factor.
Since the first release the mod is split between two sites, BXBX and honza SG-1 site http://bxbx.atrey.vdsoft.org/ and the OFP-SGC community site http://www.ofp-sgc.com/. The community site allows the users of the mod to submit their own addons and missions to the Mod. Notable mission makers include Matt SG-3, and Colonel Well.
Towards the end of 2006, it was announced by the DSF team that the 1.4 beta version of the stargate would be the last version of the stargate, released for operation flashpoint. BXBX then released a beta off all of his work so far including the much wanted Area 52 addon, Malp pack and stargates V2. All the focus of the developers is currently on armed assault, see below.

Introduction
With the release of Armed Assault set for 16/02/2007 the team has begun work on modifying the already released content in preparation. Images of the stargate already in Armed Assault can be seen on BXBX website. Hopefully soon after the UK release of Armed Assault we can have a gate system released for users. Sadly some addons originally meant for a Operation Flashpoint Resistance release may never be released for that game, as BXBX developers attention is now focused on moving addons to ArmA and continuing development there. Most of the team will begin their work on original content once the oxygen 2 and visitor 3 tools are released.

For the Armed Assualt Project members of the team are looking to move away from the un-unified state that the team was in, for ofp. there is currently a private forum.
For Armed Assualt we are looking for:-
A dedicated island maker. the idea of previous island releases was that there are multiple small islands set over a large map, to create a diversity of terrain and story telling. If you are interested please state so on the forums on our website.
