Continue! And thanks for all.
PD: The dynamic stairs is a great idea. Maybe... a water poison, a glados... no that not jaja. I have hope in you. Regards
How about a Box Dropper?
...oh, already in there
How about a Portal Fizzler?
...oh, also already in there.
How about... hmm... a hallway arch?
...jeepers, also already in there!?
OMG, you've prefabbed about everything any self-respecting portal mapper should ever need! Thank you a hundred thousand times!
"Duct Tape is the answer."
Question: why are the 'backs' of the brushes textured in the thumbnail pics? are they in the prefab pack too?
if so, be ashamed! what bad mapping practice! you should always nodraw any brush face that can't be seen by the player
What about a rotating portal gun? Did he miss that?
The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.
Actually, any face that is completely covered by world brushes and/or faces the void is automatically culled and not rendered.

Can you explain why? I think it's easier to navigate through the map in Hammer when I can see what texture it is on the other side. On the other hand, I can see the benefits of having nodraw on the outside. But, IMO, the work needed to do that doesn't pay off enough.
Nope

lol
If you put nodraw on places the player can't see, it will increase performance by making the map a lot smoother to run. It is very important to do so.

This is the most bullshit explaination. You didn't tell him why, you just told him you should.
The REAL reason is because any face with the nodraw texture is not rendered by the engine, and therefore there are less things for the rendering engine to consider in any given PVS. The reason it's not necessary to do this on any face that is covered completely by world brushes and/or facing the void, is because vbsp automatically culls the face for you as if you had places nodraw on it.

yeh basically what msleeper said, if you rely too heavily on the features that remove those faces you will probablyend up missing one that wont be removed but needs to be a nodraw to prevent it rendering.
