Using portals...

I don't know much about mapping, and this was probably already mentioned a long time ago, but here goes:  Since many of you seem to be reaching plane limits and such with your maps, is it possible to create maybe two or more map files and link them with portals (ala Sven Coop)?  Or does this cause Commander Mode problems?

    not possible, unless there was some way of loading and running both of the .bsp's simultaneously it wouldnt work at all.

    The reason Sven Co-op can do this is because it's more of a mission based/adventure type of thing.
    When you're done with a Svencoop map you have nothing more to do there anyway, so then the server
    just makes everyone change map to the next level in the series. Then everything starts over again,
    no stats are taken with from the last level.

    If this were to be done in NS, you would have to reset the game every time the server changed maps, which would be pretty pointless. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    What you could do wich is linking on a totally different level, is to make a follow up to a level where the story is the only thing
    linking the two stories together. (i.e. they fought at the mining station, now they have to keep the resources from going to the gamma nebula by invading that space ship etc.)
