Portals -

Teleportaton and illumination mod for Big Walk.

F10 for configuration menu.

Portals can resemble Mario 64 framed paintings, displaying a still snapshot of the destination at the moment the pair is linked. Camera feed mode now available.

Manage up to 3 separate portal pairs simultaneously. [Orange/blue, Red/Green, Purple/Yellow]

Currently client-side so console players will believe you are a dark trickster god.

Controls

Features

• 6 Portals: Map out up to three entirely separate hops across the world using color-coded frames (Orange/Blue, Red/Green, Purple/Yellow).
• Point-and-Click Placement: If your flashlight beam illuminates a spot, you can probably place a portal there.
• Persistent Travel: Turn the flashlight beam off (F). Your placed portals remain active and working in the background.
• Illumination: The portal frames glow. The placement beam doubles as a weak flashlight.
• White placement beam has no portal capabilities, great for finding your way through dark areas.
• Turning the flashlight off does not destroy your portals; placed endpoints remain active.
• Smart Nudge Assistance: The placement algorithm automatically nudges portals slightly forward away from walls and geometry, preventing endpoints from getting stuck inside the environment.

Let’s be entirely honest with ourselves for a fleeting, terrifying moment of absolute clarity:

Who spends time on this spinning rock debugging C# script spatial coordinates to make a flashlight/multi-frequency quantum gateway for a game about walking loudly with your friends?

It's a me.

If this mod has spared you from the dark or obnoxious staircases, consider dropping something into the Ko-fi

TO DO, MAYBE

• Maybe to make multiplayer, so that all might share in the teleporting sickness.
• Maybe the preservation of the momentum. And the velocity. And the trajectory. So that a person leaping from a cliff might exit the portal as a cannonball of bone and gristle, carrying speed elsewhere.
• Maybe the tossing of items through the portals without the burden of holding them.
• Maybe to make the sound carry, so that the cries of friends might echo across the threshold.
• Maybe to create and implement portal sound effects.
• Optimize and streamline.
