F.A.Q and Bug solutions
Watch this video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AZ82aDZvyc

Q: My Portals doesnt have a see-trough image
A: Verify if your game is running on the DirectX 9 mode (-dxlevel 90 or 95) and verify if the r_novis 1 command is in use. Also verify if portal_render command is true.

Q:My hands are purple/black (missing texture)
A: You're missing Portal 2. You can make arms invisible with portal_arm 0. Although the description says it doesn't require Portal 2, it does for this. You can get this to fix it: http://puu.sh/cD9x3/e7443b2fb9.rar

Q:I cant pick up all the props.
A:Verify the portal_limitcarry console command is set to 0

Q: My [OTHER ADDON] isn't working.
A: If it isn't a known bug, help us debug it, does it draw any errors, any clue on what can be causing it, is it conflicting with other addons?

Q: The gun isn't working at all.
A: You likely have a conflicting addon, such as a different portal gun, installed.

Q:The gun's subscribing isnt working/broken
A:Download a non-workshop ver here: http://puu.sh/cPpiV/e3bce64ea1.rar (Different branch by me, Matsilagi, probably gonna update it periodically).
Non workshop branch updated, now it has the tick fix.

You can ofc post your questions here and I will try to answer.

I found a neat glitch, if you shoot a rocket into the portal on a vertical object, like a wall and the longer you keep it there the slower it will go when you point away

Same bug, I found if you shoot a rocket at any portal it doesn't go through but rather hovers and can't be destroyed. You also can't swap guns until killed and, once switching back to the rocket, it is invisible in your hands. Weird.com?

I was unaware of this bug but due to the way the portals work, I can't fix this. If the wall is not thick enough it simply won't work. My apologies.

I can't find the weapon in my weapons tab, only in search, and I can't spawn it....
Any ideas?

Wait my game is running on DirectX version 9.0 and I still can't see through the portals. Help please.

Nevermind restarting my game fixed the issue. But another problem is backspace doesn't work in console as long as the portal gun is in my inventory.
Weird...

Two more things.
1: After entering a portal on flatgrass the map renders in the skybox.
2: r_novis 1 didn't fix the render issues.

Sorry about the spam, hopefully the last bug, if you drive a vehicle through a portal you fall through the ground.

This addon conflicts with the hit counter addon, the counters never fade away like they should.
