Is there any chance of an official Stargate-Themed map? I have included some useful links in case you consider my idea.

Though, it won't ever go official, why don't you make such map yourself? ;)
Pictures usually speak louder to people that want to make maps than sounds. :p
Stargate site won't work, server is down

It is possible to make such map, actually.
Though, you will need custom models (the portal) and surely a good bunch of new textures, too. You could devide the map into two halfs. One resembling the underground army base and the other one maybe the inside of a pyramid, like in that first movie. Both connected by the portal... The major flaw about this, however, would be exactly this one-way limitation. I guess it would work better with Sauerbraten (cube2), since it provides portal enteties, which would allow for multiple portals. In case, you don't mind differing from the original story you cold also have one room (army base) in the center with 4 portals on each side leading to 4 different locations, which may also be connected by portals. At least, this way you will provide a better gameplay. However, this will be quite a lot of work for a map, which will not meet AC's style and you should be fairly skilled at mapping in order to make it look somewhat believable, regarding the engine's limitations.

I've seen a stargate map a few month ago.
The portal was made with the skymap in combination with "walk-through-walls". It was a nice idea,but the map was too crowded and to big and there've been corridors going kinda 100 cubes high...

Being a Stargate fan, I must say a Stargate themed map would be pretty sick, although probably more suited for Cube 2 than AC. However, if you do decide to build the map, make sure you read the mapping guide first:
http://assault.cubers.net/docs/mapediting1.html It contains some extremely useful points that will help you build a map that isn't complete garbage.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had not thought about Cube2 (thanks Mr.Floppy) I'm not good at textures or modeling, if you would like to help me that would be great. I would be happy to structure the map, but any new material (portal models, textures) will need to be made by someone besides me. I could do it, but it would look like crap.
