"Portal" Texture?

[Amuscaria]

Does something like portals exist for [G]Zdoom? Similar to how portals work for ceilings and floors, but the 2 rooms are linked together by a texture instead. I know there are camera textures, but the other room seen throiug the texture is rended into a 2D image. Was thinking about good ways to create inter dimensional gateways for DE, and not sure if the Camera texture was the best way to do it.

Yeah Isle put up wall portal example a long time ago but I can't find the links anymore.

I do remember there being 2 versions because each version worked exclusively for a specific renderer (the GZDoom approach doesn't work in the software renderer and vice versa).

No. The current portal code has a few problems with recursion detection that make wall portals difficult to handle. I'm working on it but I don't really have time so it's going extremely slowly.

@Nash: As this is a hack, anyone using it is on their own when copying it. No guarantee that it will survive a proper implementation.

First hack I can think of is having a sloped portal connection, but Isle may have already done that and it would be hell to handle traveling between them.

nah just use a portal room behind it with line_horizon on the outer walls. seems to still work with the newer portals.
oh yeah, doesn't work in gzdoom though

No, and it never will. That's an unsupported construct, even in ZDoom. In other words: May break at any time.
