misc_portal_surface problem


(Java.Lang) #1

Well I have come across a problem with the misc_portal_surface.

First off, it works great in a standalone test map with basic atmospheric settings (no fog).

But when/if I add a global fog ( _fog parameter to the worldspawn), the portal no longer functions.

I was hoping someone maybe had a way around this. I have already talked to Erik who included the misc_portal_surface back into the .def files, but it wasn’t something he knew about, so I am taking the issue public.

Most of you may not know right away because you haven’t messed with the old entities like portals in Enemy Territory, I know I hadn’t until lately, but it would be really nice if I could get this to work.

I don’t HAVE to have the portal in the map, but I DO have to have my _fog.

I think I remember something about portal_surface and fog (general) and it was that they were incompatible… But that was from Q3 mapping days… 1999 iirc so … my memory might be playing tricks on me…

Anyone else have any information on this? Sock perhaps?
