#1. Thats a very difficult thing to explain, we had to do so many bypasses to the way Portal doe sthe portal effect that it took months to get an animated Portal texture without a closed animation.  The second step was redoing the texture system again.  You will be able to see when we release the mod how we did it :).

#2.  We use cubemaps, they just never generate on my PC or Caboosejrs, reepblue does them on his but then if we want to use them they have to be regenrated.  I am looking into an answer for this currently with reepblue.

Cubemaps are built. I send maps with cubemaps and when he sends me the mod updates they come back with the cubemaps built.

So They work just fine. :D

Yeah I checked they are built, it may be the Metal texture we made, its supposed to be dirty and non reflective.
