Anyone have an idea on how to create an in game portal to another server.
Was thinking and wanted to implement this using torque to create a very large
playing field / battle.

Portals which can't see thru to the other side... no prob. I remember a Quake2 mod a long time ago which did just that. You could run thru a portal and it would send you to another server where you would come out of a portal with your inventory and score in tact. It was fun to jump from server to server like that fleeing or chasing an enemy.

Could i see that code please? I also want to do server linking, and was hoping to find a starting point from which i could expand on.
