Hey ?? Can i ask too ?

My map is an outdoor base... So with a lot of windows and the possibility to go outside, it's quite difficult to OPTIMIZE my map with visportals... Do i must put a visportal on all my windows and exit from outisde ????? And How ? : )

I suggest that you do put those portals on all crossings. I show an example of this in my halls tutorial.

basically place a brush in the doorway (window, whatever) that touches all sides (top, left, bottom, right), texture it nodraw. then texture one side with visportal from the editor textures.

That's it. that will work.

for checking it out, use the console command r_showtris 1. You can also use r_showtris 2 or 3 or 4, but I don't know what each does. One of those numbers will give a drawing of all your triangles as seen by the player. The fewer that you see the better it is.

I hope that all makes sense.

Yes i saw your tut.
I'll try it... Thanx :)

(keep in mind that i'm french, so i could make some english mistakes... )
So... Here i am
I tried to do it with Location (and with the location tut you've just made).
I made te test with my rooms full of windows and so you were right, i must put a visportals on all my cross (Doors,windows... ervery Wholes must be closed properly)
But I Also need to put a Info_locationSeperator on all my windows, etc...

Here the info if someone didn't know that.
