: Hi community,
: I just looked up some original TR2 levels in RView and saw that the rooms donīt seem to overlap each other (wall.tr2 is a good example; room1 and 3 view the bridge w/ the 'mountain' behind). Is this because they donīt use visible tiles or do the portals work different? I try to make an outdoor area with some slopes similar to them in the wall level. Itīs very difficult because I donīt get the viewports right.
The parts that overlap are the Sector part, where at least one row of sectors from room A overlap a row (or part of a row) of *visible*, inside floor tile and one row of room B does the same to a row (or part thereof) of visible, inside floor tile.
What does not overlap are the inside parts, the actual walkable floors.
For vertical portal, it is enought that floor of upper room and ceiling of lower room be at the exact same altitude.
