This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite mods and definitely goes on my "Why the h#!! isn't this in the base game?" list.

can u maybe add a variant for the new DLCs 1x2 Gate ("Small Gate Wide") ?
Jocker 2 Nov, 2024 @ 9:37am 
Can you make 1 or 3 blocks wide ?
(1x5 / 3x5)
There isn´t way to close something central symetric.

I'm also in favor of middle gates for the new DLC. Thank you for the gate you've created!

Love this gate its 100% always included in any space engineers playthrough i do. gates were added as part of the contact dlc maybe a middle gate for them in the future? still this should have been vanilla and is priceless when it comes to docking small ships! thanks chip!

Hey, appreciate the effort, nice to have this gate. But is it possible to remove the numbers from the textures? They get repetitive after a while.

I've noticed an oddity - specifically with the carbon fibre skin, the middle gate seems to scale this completely out of proportion with other blocks with the weave being hugely scaled up

you are a genius <3
Prometheus 1 Jul, 2023 @ 6:02am 
would it be possible to get a 3 wide variant so our hangars can be odd instead of even
REPELLERCOM 30 Apr, 2023 @ 5:47am 
Something like this should really be base game!
Shiny Leprechaun 7 Mar, 2023 @ 6:13am 
Is there any way to remove the numbers from the adjacent gates?
JWA 16 Feb, 2023 @ 9:19pm 
Agreed, would a small version be possible?
Schmetterling 16 Feb, 2023 @ 10:56am 
I agree with @GenJackO, sometimes x1 and x3 versions are missing.
Mabs 31 Jan, 2023 @ 12:07am 
I forgot that these weren't vanilla. Confused as to why Keen added a small-grid version of the regular gate but not to the middle gate.
(backhanded request for small-grid version)
GenJackO 19 Jun, 2022 @ 7:41am 
would be nice to have a one wide or 3 wide version so you center gates on your ship
Boss Poltroon 12 Apr, 2022 @ 10:04am 
Obligatory "This ought to be in vanilla" comment here. I use these extensively.

Thanks for the support it means a lot!
Chipstix213  [author] 2 Apr, 2022 @ 10:22am 
I've probably got the texture scale wrong. If you put a dlc skin on like the disco it'll be obvious
Monstertruck 2 Apr, 2022 @ 10:22am 
I also added this mod to the feedback tracker as a vanilla suggestion. Feel free to vote if you've had good uses for this mod.

I looked more closely on the texure. It might actually be the right surface detail texture, but yours is upscaled to the point where it looks grainy.
Monstertruck 2 Apr, 2022 @ 10:02am 
I tested this mod now after looking for bigger gates. It's great. You should update the picture for the mod so people can see how good it looks.

One problem, the gate uses a different surface material than the vanilla DLC gate. It's like the surface is a bit more grainy/bumpy compared to the original. A fix for that would make this look perfect.
Datarak 28 Feb, 2022 @ 8:36am 
Great! Now everything works!
Chipstix213  [author] 27 Feb, 2022 @ 6:56am 
at some point the display name got changed and it is just called "Gate"

should be better now.
Datarak 26 Feb, 2022 @ 3:37am 
The "G" menu does not display, I have already bought all the "DLC" that I found, launched with other mods and without them - I can't find it...
Rubber Sword 13 Feb, 2022 @ 2:10pm 
@Captain Harlock You have to have 'Frostbite' DLC, go to G menu and type 'gate' into search. Two gates come up, one is the middle gate.
Chipstix213  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 10:43am 
Should be there but I don't think I added it to the block varients.
Captain Harlock 13 Feb, 2022 @ 10:24am 
i can't find it in the G menu, what name do i need to type in the search bar?
I can't find it under Middle Gate or Gate, nor in the rest of the block lists.
RogueCmdr 6 Jan, 2022 @ 11:53am 
type gate...
darinreynolds90 6 Jan, 2022 @ 10:28am 
where do i fing this in G menu
Bluestar 12 Dec, 2021 @ 1:30pm 
possible for a small grid version of this to go with any of the available mods that lets you use all the vanilla blocks on small grid like ultimate small grid conversion pack
Battlemage 29 Nov, 2021 @ 8:51pm 
This is definitely the mod I never knew I needed. I'm really looking forward to the finishing touches here!
GenJackO 9 Oct, 2021 @ 3:15pm 
is it possible to get a 1 or 3 block height so that we can center doors? like a stock 2 block height then a odd size gate then a stock 2 block....
Black 16 Sep, 2021 @ 2:44am 
I tried it right now, but with the no numbers mod only i can´t find the mid gate in game. with the mid gate mod i can at least find it with search function. Unsubbed, deletet Folder and Resubbed aswell.
Chipstix213  [author] 16 Sep, 2021 @ 2:16am 
do not run both of my gate mods you only need the no numbers one as it has this model as well.
Black 15 Sep, 2021 @ 11:00pm 
Sorry to bother you again, but I noticed some texture related problems. The Middle Gate seems to keep its numbers even with your no numbers mod and the resolution on it looks way lower then the Frostbyte Gates, extremly noticeable with some skins, for example: Disco, Glamour, Cow Moo Flage and Frozen.
RogueCmdr 7 Sep, 2021 @ 2:34pm 
any word on the different sized ones
Chipstix213  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 12:04pm 
No worries thanks for enjoying the mod. The middle gate is also available without numbers in my frostbite doors mod
Black 7 Sep, 2021 @ 10:51am 
Ah, that´s unfortunate. Allright, I guess I just try not to look too intensely at it from now on xD.
Thanks for the reply :)
Chipstix213  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 7:55am 
I have tried to minimise this but the vanilla models exist outside their bounding boxes.
if I reduce my model anymore it'll have gaps when used by itself.
Black 7 Sep, 2021 @ 2:40am 
Perfect edition, a middle part of the gate is the first thing i thought of when i saw the gate. The only thing that is bothering me is that the GateRight ond the GateLeft models seem to be offset, the textures are alingned but if you build the gates the doors are z-fighting on the edges. It´s not extremely obvious but still visible, would be nice if you could fix that.
Chipstix213  [author] 30 Aug, 2021 @ 1:33pm 
I'll think about it
rea|Jeck 30 Aug, 2021 @ 12:43pm 
Just to make this even better and fit for complete insanity: Would it be possible to add a small grid (and original size) variant to this? Recently fiddled around with one of the mods that give you small grid versions of the large stuff and somehow ended up trying to build an opening roof...
frogit04 7 Jun, 2021 @ 9:53pm 
Once again another block thats missing but shouldve been there to start! Great job!
Chipstix213  [author] 7 Jun, 2021 @ 2:34pm 
Just pushed a update that may effect gates that already exist. I fixed some graphical issues and matched the frostbite gate type.
Chipstix213  [author] 6 Jun, 2021 @ 12:08am 
I've said before I won't do alternative sizes on this style. But if I get around to it I have some other door designs
Molten Carnage 5 Jun, 2021 @ 7:33pm 
This is awesome and works great, ignoring the build stage. But when faced with an odd width (5,7, or 9 blocks) it doesn't fit right. Would it be worth your time to consider a 1x5 or a 3x5 middle gate block?
holden4ever 13 May, 2021 @ 10:58pm 
Awesome. Thanks.
Chipstix213  [author] 13 May, 2021 @ 10:25pm 
When I next push an update yes it will go on mod-io
holden4ever 13 May, 2021 @ 3:02pm 
Is it possible to upload this to mod.io for Xbox users?
Aryemis 5 May, 2021 @ 11:53am 
Heya I love this mod, allows me to make good looking gates that are strong and allows bigger than tiny ships go through.
However it would be awesome if you could make a 1 wide or 3 wide version of this so we can have odd numbered gate openings !
