Proper Mirrored textures

[Pogwaffle]

I've been trying to make a mirrored floor like in the demo level (near the end of the demo where you fight the reborn) I've tried everything I know about shaders and tried using the *portal* surface name to no avail. Can somebody please help me as I can't find any tutorials on how to do this anywhere.

 

Thanx

I didn't play the demo. You have some pics of this mirrored surface ?

 

I know how to make mirror shaders, but really need to see the pic to ensure what exactly you want.

I don't have any pics of it as at the moment I am not on my computer. But it is the same mirrored surface as in the mp duel map that came with one of the patches, the one with all the crates around and the large forcefield.

I'm not a mapper so I cant tell you how to do this, but he means the reflections on the floor. Take a look at the vaders chamber duel map to see a really good example

And yes, I do mean a reflective floor, but not the dodgy refection on some levels like on the first level kejim base. Which is the vaders chamber duel map. I havent heard of it. Hopefully its the same refective surface that I want so you nice people know what Im talkin about.

This is the map you mean right? And here are pics of the reflective floor you mention....

Yes that is the exacted reflection I want. Can somebody please tell me how to do this I tried using the shader/texture used there but the refection wont work properly. I really need to know how to do this.

Did you put a misc_portal_surface near the mirror entity within 64 map units ?

 

EDIT : I saw the pictures. You can do it but you need enough light from the ceiling to make the room show up on the floor clearly.

I'll try to make a mirror example like that from scratch. I'll post the link here.

Yes I did put a misc_portal_surface within the 64 map units. Do you just put this entity near the surface anywhere or will it matter where abouts you put it?

 

And yes, I may not have enough light. Should I put the light near the surface I want reflected or near the reflective surface itself.

PP is the portal surface.

Yes you'd need to put some light entites near the surface that you want to be reflected. The mirror effect uses some textures and the reflection itself is a bit dark, so you need some light entities to enlight the reflection. I really dont know how to make the reflection more clear.
