Area portal cost

Do open areaportals cost anything when they're out of sight? --Cargo Cult 08:07, 23 Sep 2005 (PDT)

They have a slight cost, I don't believe it's measurable, but possibly negligible considering map geometry and if they weren't used at all. --wisemx 09:18, 23 Sep 2005 (PDT)

Once there is alot of them it tends to become more costly.--Gear 13:45, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

Example map

Here's a test project we did with Jeff Lane on always open Area Portals. 2.3MB ZIP archive. --wisemx 09:18, 23 Sep 2005 (PDT)

The link seems to be dead, could you please rehost it? --Tourorist 09:04, 28 Aug 2007 (PDT)

Reference to nothing

I just noticed that the there is a link to the page leaks explained. However, that page has a reference to this page. Basically, there is no further information regarding areaportal leaks. Just a comment. --Darthkillyou 09:49, 25 May 2007 (PDT)

Hopefully, enough information has been added since, but if you are still missing information about portal leaks, please let me know straight away, so that I can get on it. --Andreasen 08:55, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

Additional information

I found some additional information on area portals here: Optimization_Tutorial, BSP Map Optimization This information should be moved/merged into this page. --Andreasen 10:13, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

Is it called "area portals" or "areaportals"?

I asked myself this question when I started working on this article, and I need evidence to support any theory. --Andreasen 10:13, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

I found indisputable evidence that it's called "areaportals" and not "area portals" in the listing of r_areaportal.cpp. This article needs to be moved to areaportal. --Andreasen 11:33, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

Yeah it is called areaportals. However there is already a func_areaportal page so keeping it Areaportal would be okay.--Gear 13:47, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)

I don't understand. What does the entity page have to do with this page? We can't flood that page with the entire topic. --Andreasen 13:59, 16 Sep 2007 (PDT)
