The devil will come when your friend is too slow.

Pads? Shouldn't they be sorta like holes in walls? And any screenies?

They need to be pad's its the easyist wai, me wunt screeniez too pl0x

[Amtie]

Maybe an invisible noclip pad, and like a decal/screen/whatever thing that sticks up from the pad, simulating a normal portal. And how would pads work when shot at skyboxes/cielings/water?

[mooseberry]

Well so far I havn't seen them shot they were just there.

[googles]

The portals, or pads as you like to call them will work much like a medistation. Once you step on it you will instantly be teleported to the other portal and shot out(simulating a *real* portal by spitting you out as if you were in a real portal)

Edit:

circular reasoning FTW

For some reason..the demo doesnt show the model but no matter, imagine its there. Here is a bit of a preview to my portal mod

Demo: http://www.sendspace.com/file/3lwant

[Jalaco]

Googy.... it doesnt show the model because the game doesnt recognize what the model is for the portal because the portal mod isnt engaged. Therefore there is to the game without the mod, nothing there your just moving. Get it?

I know, it isnt there because demos dont record models, it isnt a visual video, its just recreating what was there, your trem doesnt have the portal mod so it cant recreate that.

[epsy]

so you made a demo for yourself and only yourself to watch?

[MartinX3]

how can i use the record?

[Amtie]

/record and /stoprecord

[_-+|[A]|+-_]

He said use record not make record, save the portal mod to a folder called ''Demo'' for windows its "C:\Documents and Settings\Alex\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\demos" then run tremulous and do /demo portal.

Alpha 4 me?

[mooseberry]

Alpha 4 me?

Go play it yourself.

[MartinX3]

Thanks.
I hope the portal mod will come.

And i want Tremulous 2.0 based on Quake 4 engine. ^^
It should work better with a portal mod.

I finally got a site up for my portal mod, hosted at http://portal.tremcentral.com/ take a look

[Paradox]

If you want me to, i could do some images for you.

Im too busy to do a full site design, but i could do some banners or something

[E-Mxp]

Love the Granger Cube! XD

[googles]

I would like to make a request from the modelers out there, due to some unforeseen circumstances I no longer have a dedicated modeler, that is why im request a model by you, the community. I would like to request a model that looks like this.

This is what i think the portal buildable should look like, it would be flat like a medi so players could walk onto it and use the portal. This should be animated to swirl the blue in the middle around like a portal.



This is the closed form of the portal, this should also be an animation and when the portal has its down time for usage. As you can see, there are two metal plates holding the portal closed



I know these are very bad looking, but i made these with the GIMP, which i have about no skill using.

[Jalaco]

Ok, so Goog I got a basic outline I think of what you want. Tell me what you want added\removed and tell me if its crap and I should just start from the beginning again.



I know its pretty well just a copy of yours but its clearer (is that a word?) and basically just so you can point out what you want how. Also dont diss Gimp it does wonders for me I love it =P.

\\^// Jalaco \\^//

[googles]

I LOVE IT JALLY! its very clean, i would like yours instead of mine now

[Jalaco]

Dont be sad =P, I used you design as a base, I basically just cleared it up and changed the panel. But ya what bits of detail should I add to it is the main question. I also have to figure out the format for making it 3D =\. But I usually figure things out the hard way =], anways should I add some light like things? If so where? Where the yellow lights are? What colors? And for the portal bit, what color portal? I can make it easy with just 1 filter but what colors? and anything else you want... Just tell me.

Hmmmm, i dont know if you will like this but i have made simple model of your portal. Its animated, but i dont want to map it now as im not sure if you want it.
http://files.filefront.com/0001+0030avi/;10437381;/fileinfo.html <= short movie showing 30 frames animation
(i made the plate in the portal black so you could see it more clearly) Model has 210 verts.
Cheers!
