Ooops my bad

YES for me. It looks nice AND it might open some new strategic aspects.

It seems from the movie that the player dynamic remains unaltered (unlike when you pass into a classical teleporter)?
Using warpzones, I feel that some questions about damage through walls also arise...

How is the effect done for the warp zones? I can't seem to replicate it, no matter how much I study the design in the map. I can make a warpzone, but I can't make it so that you can see the other side; its completely black

maybe this might help:

It didn't...

Though this is not the apropriate thread for this discussion, I'll answere nevertheless.
To make a warpzone, there are some rules you have to follow:
-warpzones MUST be made from brushes
-ALL SIDES except one MUST be common/trigger
-the other one MUST be a warpzone-type shader
-Both warpzone brushes (in-out) MUST be the same size on the sides, where the warpzone shader is placed.
-the trigger_warpzones must be connected to eachother with target-targetname. You only have to connect them once (you don't have to backlink).
-Warpzones MUST be in pairs. You can't have a warpzone without a target, and you can't have a warpzone with multiple targets, and you can't have a warpzone targetted by more than one other.
-for reflections, here's the tricky part: common/warpzone is a reflective one, that's for sure. The other shaders in effects/warpzone are NOT all reflective:
Code:
textures/effects_warpzone/wavy
{
dpoffsetmapping none
surfaceparm nolightmap
// surfaceparm nonsolid // no, it must be solid like trigger
surfaceparm trans
surfaceparm nomarks
{
map textures/effects_warpzone/wavy.tga
tcMod scroll 0.06 0.06
blendfunc blend
}
dp_camera
dp_refract 1 1 1 1 // makes the camera render like a refraction
}This is a reflective warpzone shader, and it's wavy. The crucial key for reflection is dp_camera (wavy thing is done by dp_refract). The other of is the commented out surfaceparm nonsolid. It HAS to be solid, as the comment says too; note however, that "solid" is not "solid as concrete", but collision detection. I can't describe this better, sorry.
So on the other hand:
Code:
textures/effects_warpzone/blueedge
{
surfaceparm nonsolid
surfaceparm nomarks
q3map_surfacelight 2500
cull none
{
map textures/effects_warpzone/blueedge.tga
blendfunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE
}
}These are all the technical details, that you need to understand to make a warpzone.
If you've done all the above, and you still can't see the reflections, and you're 100% sure that you have reflection enabled in Settings menu: effects, I can only suspect your graphics card not able to render reflections at all - though that must be so old (eg. GeForce4 series), that it wouldn't be able to run Xonotic at all, so I think we can exclude that possibility.
The best would be if you'd post somewhere your .map (not the compiled bsp), so we could take a look, and possibly fix the problem, telling you the solution.

I will find it. Thanks. It has been driving me crazy.
