Wall portals

[Major Cooke]

Care to make a few demonstration wads on how to do them, Tormentor?

I honestly don't want to spoil the surprise, so I just say "wait for BoA" Though I have to admit: The best way to use them is to make the player feel everything's just fine

[Major Cooke]

I meant simpler demonstrations. The problem with using the wiki right now is there ISN'T much content or context to work with. So I don't know how to do things very well like polyobject line portals and such.

POlyobject portals are more or less gimmicks. A good portal will feel like a natural passageway in the map, you shouldn't really notice that there is a portal.

Speakin' of which, Graf...

I found a bunch of stuff when trying Arookas' test map out.

I'll report it on the GZDoom forums.

Any timeframe on when a new stable ZDoom/GZDoom release with portals might happen? My current project makes extensive use of them, and when I release it sometime later this year I'd like to be able to point everyone to an official build they can play it with rather than just telling them "use a dev build". I definitely understand lots of changes have gone in since 2.8.1 / 2.1.1 and need testing.

GZDoom is reliant on ZDoom, and in turn randi's quite busy lately so you may have to continue relying on it.

2:01 That's what drugs look like, kids.

Holy shit though someone make a boss level like that!

I think that part is not possible anymore due to portals not supporting rotation. Even non-static portals. Unless they do support rotation now.

What precisely do you mean? Rotating polyobjects? They should work, if they don't it's a bug. Of course they will forever suffer from some inherent limitations of Doom's collision code.
