sorry about the lack of updates here, between getting my servers back online and managing the mods (doctor who client mod takes most of my time) its been crazy busy. But there is progress getting done.
Finishing up the texture for the Naqudah Generator today and fixing the Asgard textures.
STARGATE CHEVRON 7 Edition for Wednesday May 30th, 2012 .
Originally encountered by SG-1 as technologically advanced "bugs," the term "Replicator" refers to a number of different groups. They were originally engineered in nanite form by the Ancients in the Pegasus Galaxy as a weapon against the Wraith.
Programmed to replicate and evolve, they eventually emulated their creators by forming humanoid entities -- machines made up of many trillions of microscopic nanites. The Asuran race was born.
Thousands of years later the Replicators were reborn in the Milky Way Galaxy, when an android girl named Reese (presumably herself invented by an Ancient scientist) created more simplistic, spider-like "bugs" as toys to do her bidding . The insect-like Replicators are made up of much larger blocks, and continued to evolve and create Replicators in other, larger insect forms Eventually they discovered the deactivated Reese, and recognizing her as their creator they remade themselves in her image. Thus the first human-form Replicators, again made up of tiny nanites, were born in the Milky Way.
The insect-form Replicators are a keron-based technology, programmed with the objective of self-replication. Anything and everything that interferes with this plan of infestation, annihilation and duplication is immediately at risk.
Reese, a corrupt and childlike android, created the first insectoid Replicators to be her "toys," but they were also capable of defending her from threats. As their creator, she also passed on to them her own design flaw. As the inhabitants of her world feared the toys, and tried to destroy them, she ordered them to "replicate at all costs." She quickly lost control, and the Replicators annihilated her civilization, and her own creator in the process. After the Replicators left, Reese went into a deep depression and deactivated herself.
Replicators are composed of hundreds of individual blocks, which are comprised of whatever substance the original Replicator has consumed. It is unclear how many blocks make up a standard Replicator, but two Replicators are required to make a third, and thus exponential growth. It takes only a few blocks to replicate new blocks, and in a few hours Replicators can breed from a handful into hundreds.
Replicators generally operate in groups, but it is unclear how their social structure is organized, and there seems to be no apparent means by which they transmit and receive information to and from one another. Despite this absence of information, they are very effective at cooperating with each other to achieve their objectives. If need be, Replicator blocks can simply form a "wall" to block aggressors who would impede their objectives.
Goa'uld and other energy weapons are incapable of stopping Replicators, though the sheer force of such a blast does "halt" them for less than a second. Human weapons, which launch projectiles, are much more effective, causing the blocks to break apart from one another. However, this can only solve problems for a few moments; the Replicators reassemble with a vengeance and come again. Once shot a second time, the blocks do not tend to reorganize.
Generally, Replicators will not attack unless they are threatened.

STARGATE CHEVRON 7 Edition for Friday June 1st, 2012 .
Milky Way Stargates are the second model of Stargate designed by the Ancients. They are 6.7 meters in diameter and weigh roughly 29 tons. They are dark gray in appearance with red-orange colored chevrons. The triangular lower half of the Stargate's top chevron extends and retracts while locking a symbol.
The glyphs are built into an inner ring. Most of the gates are built into a stone platform with a stairway for easy access. Those that aren't have often been moved from where they were first found.
The inner rings spins while dialing and can be moved by hand (with some difficulty) to dial the gate in the absence of an external device. The dialing computer used by Stargate Command essentially employs this method to dial the gate; the system instructs the motors inside the gate to move the ring to the relevant position. A Dial Home Device bypasses the need for the inner ring to spin, simply allowing the user to enter the relevant address.
The gates in the Ida galaxy appear to be of the same model as the Milky Way.
GLYPHS
A Milky Way Stargate has 39 inscribed symbols on the inner ring. When dialing, this inner ring rotates until the dialed symbol is aligned with the seventh chevron, at which point the ring pauses, the seventh chevron moves down and up, and the appropriate chevron in the sequence engages and glows red.

The thing on the top of the stairs is a transporter from the TF2 mod, you can choose another transporter to go to so it is basically a working gate. Kind of fun

Very coolio, though you may have wanted to go with normal stone instead of netherbrick to give it the proper SGC feel
For the outside? ya, I need to finish it up, let's just call it an alpha site haha. Wasn't even planning on doing a stargate in there in the first place. I love the detail you can do with the little blocks mod, pretty snazzy.
STARGATE CHEVRON 7 Edition for Wednesday June 6th, 2012 .
Pegasus Stargates are the latest model of Stargate and are quite different from their Milky Way counterparts. They are primarily silver-blue in appearance, with a blue inner ring and blue chevrons (larger than those of a Milky Way stargate). They possess no moving parts; instead, each glyph lights up in a circular pattern, staying lit when locked. Unlike Milky Way Stargates, Pegasus Stargates are not built into a platform, and instead are just buried in the ground at about the same level.
Because they have no moving parts, Pegasus Stargates cannot be manually dialed. Pegasus Stargates also have a security feature which renders them incapable of dialing intergalactic addresses without the use of a specific control crystal installed on Atlantis. This crystal can be removed and installed on other Dial Home Devices if necessary. Due to their newer design, Pegasus Stargates also automatically become the dominant gate if placed in the same region as an older model, which caused some problems on the Midway space station until Dr. Rodney McKay developed a bypass.
Pegasus also has the unique use of "Spacegates", Stargates which have been placed in orbit above a planet, rather than on the surface. Spacegates have no local DHD, and thus must be dialed remotely by a craft equipped with one (such as Puddle Jumpers and Wraith Darts). They are powered by three power nodes that also serve as stabilizers, keeping the gate in orbit and correcting for sudden impacts.
GLYPHS
Unlike the Milky Way gates, Pegasus gates are depicted with 36 symbols. 7 symbols are still required to dial an interplanetary address, adhering to the same constraints as a Milky Way gate.

Where does it say about the storyline of this? (if it does)
Havent had the time as of yet to pull the story line from my head and put it into text. It took a while for me to write the storyline of Doctor Who Client Mod as well.
Love the teal lights in the the Pegasus gates, translated nicely to minecraft. God I wish I could harness a solar flare and jump forward in time to the release of this mod...

Now, where is that video you mentioned?

Also, got really excited from all of this and used the little blocks mod to make a gate room of my own.
Check it out if you guys have the time.
