Congratulations!
Finishing such a big project is something I'd like to achieve in the future. I'm working on something medium/big right now, but it won't be standalone project this time.

It uses OpenGL, but latest release moved from old rendering pipeline to mostly shader based one. I've yet to update and check it's performance, a lot of optimization was mentioned in release log on Wings' forum.
Maybe it's a problem with graphics driver, have you checked that?

If Wings3D uses OpenGL to render the viewports, then I won't use it until I get a new PC. For some reason, my GPU has OpenGL support on Windows XP x86, for example, and it has OpenGL support on Windows 7 x64. The difference being that it's working in XP, but broken on 7 (x64, since x86 was fine before I upgraded).
So, I managed to finally install 3ds Max at around 00:10. When I launched it, the viewports were broken but I switched the display driver to legacy Direct3D. And, I have to say...
3ds Max 2016 looks so much sexier than 3ds Max 6. O.O And it runs on my 11-year-old laptop. ^^

I've used 3ds Max, Blender, Lightwave and Milkshape 3D. I hate Blender's interface (I know it's highly customizable, but I'm not into spending an hour coniguring it's interface for my needs). 3ds Max was ok, but there were things that irked me when using it. Milkshape 3D is just bare-bones for modelling, and I forgot anything about Lightwave.
I prefer Wings 3D for modelling, it's simple, effective and convenient. Though it's designed mainly for modelling and UV Mapping, so you'd better get a plugin if you want to render something, and you can't animate in it. And it may also lack other things, as it's subdivision modeller.

Not a fan of Blender TBH. Besides, the latest Blender needs OpenGL 2.1 to run, so I had to use an earlier version of Blender, but even then I got 25fps when I selected a cube. -_-
I just don't want to learn it until I learn 3ds Max, so there.

People self medicate. Americans work way too hard for shitty unlivable income. I’m literally unemployed and I still have two odd-jobs to barely make the gap.

"I don't think I understand why alcohol has so much cultural gravitas"
IIRC for much of human history, booze was safer to drink than water. It was a critical part of medieval life, and many monasteries also operated breweries -- most famously the Trappist monks.
But yeah, here in the States, it's just an excuse to get drunk and eat unhealthy food. Like every other American holiday, really.

In spain, the next week no matter if you are a believer or not (in god) almost every person goes to "procesiones" to see the twelve steps to christ´s death. Someone say that this is a taste of spanish "culture", imho it´s quite disturbing to see Ku-Klux-Clan look-a-likes carrying long candles while they scort big chariots full of flowers and with a statue of christ being hitted to death, or having his last supper with his twelve friends, or crucified, etc. while a gipsy wannabe tries to sing "saetas" from a balcony.

St Paddy's was carnage in Edinburgh. My best guess is people always appreciate a day where it's socially acceptable to get completely rat arsed at midday.. throwback to when they were younger I guess.
Never realised it was a thing before moving to the big city

There are two days a year that does a rare thing. On saint patricks day, Americans choose to be a different nationality and celebrate it. We respect the Irish because they can out drink us.
The other day is Martin Luther King Jr. Day because we know we done fucked up.

I know some people around here have picked up on that for no reason other than getting together for a drink, but it's not a massive thing as far as I know.

I added 0.5 delay to portal sounds and it's ok. How did i control?
I created a simple map has very long hall and i put portals far from each other. I added a balcony that bots won't reach, only i can. Then i started a bot match, climbed to balcony and watched bots. When i go near green portal which has fade and TP sound, i could see the fade and hear the sound. When i was far from green portal, i couldn't able.
So, Windawz, I really appreciate you. Now i just only need a test by real players.

Nicely made, I liked how I was able to sneak past the grunts. Thankfully they are deaf from all the decades of battling players and did not hear me break the door glass. I almost sneaked past the alien grunt too but then his buddy came. If this is your first map, it's very well made. Loved the dramatic ending too.

I don't think players would like to hear random sounds while playing so if I were you I'd remove the sounds completely or try to find another solution. You can try adding a little delay the sound is triggered and see if that works.

You don't need to check all of the radius flags. You just need to pick one.
EDIT: I remember I had a problem like that in one of my maps and, well, the only solution I can think of is either checking the "Play Everywhere" flag or stripping the portals of sounds effects completely. But you still can try to find a better way to fix this issue.

Windawz, i checked env_fade and saw activator thing that u said. thank u. But i can't fix portal sound issue. Unchecked "play everywhere" and checked other three radius options. Then no portal sound.

Nothing bad to say.

On Windows XP, this isn't a problem.
Also, old rendering pipelines are the only things my Intel GMA X3100 can support. xd
