[1.13c] Red Portals in Cube

[Ap0calypse]

Hi everyone! I've spent the last 10 hours reading and searching for a way to add custom cube portals to 1.13c.

I already tried opening uvlod dll in olly, due to the similarity between the dlls, in an attempt to port it, with no success =)

So I believe my best shot is to port this code:

From ''taking a step further'' on.

But it looks a bit confusing to me, since I dont know the original code to port it.


Can someone give me directions? I'm at the ''runewords on specific qualities'' level, thats as far as I have achieved so far.

The Tutorials on red portals done by Village Idiot are highly recommended as a way to learn assembly.

Porting this to 1.13d had some issues that I wasn't able to solve in assembly at the time (3 yrs ago) with portal name strings. With assembly I had to manually add these strings for each level that I wanted to create portals to. After I transitioned code to C++, the name strings became a non issue.

I remember seeing a thread where someone created red portals with softcoded missiles for 1.11+ versions like how KingPin did it for 1.10, but IIRC it also had issues.

yeah, I used the red portal missiles, they're actually amazing, but I would like to add areas that require some farming to go to, and I'm already using the cow level recipe for one of those (and made cow level access from town).


I'm willing to learn c++, but I don't really know where to start for now. So far, all I can do is compile other people's sources.

Thanks devurandom, I've been learning a lot with your topics, and it's encouraging to see that you learned all this so quickly!

With C/C++ I had books laying around for years, I read from those, but also I would lookup examples online how to do one particular part of what I was trying to do. Really its about investing serious amounts of time to learn it.

This is a good site to learn C++ with lots of examples.
