Thumbs up Re: The Portal Wrench! [hopes for multiplayer]
10000 views... i'm not the only one. we should get this ported for multiplayer. as of now, it's a server-side mod that only works for the server, basically. however, a created portal still works for the clients (they just don't have the ability to create them themselves, or see which ones are already open). any chance this could be changed? i honestly believe it could step this game up to be one of the best mutliplayer fps's on the market. people are trying to think of brilliant new mod ideas to raise the potential prey... but the portal wrench is nearly complete, and there is nothing else like it. any objections?

it's still fun in multiplayer the way it is, but it'd be nice if the clients could at least see the portals...

or, for a slight change in game-play, the portal wrench could be a unique drop in the game that allows only the carrier to create the portals, and no one else. then, upon dying, the player holding the wrench would drop it, and the fragger could claim it as his/her own. using this style of play, the other players would have no real need to "see" the existing portal(s). it'd add more of an edge to carrying the tool. "where'd he go?" "i'm behind you!"

just some ideas... i'd even be willing to do some of the work, if i understood more on how the portal wrench mod was created.
