LincolnB:
I made this thread so that I could ask Builderboy specific questions pertaining to the completion of Portal X.

First question:

Would you happen to know off the top of your head what {L1+700} does? It's not labeled in the variable list. Also, what's the state if the level exit transition code?

(I guess that's two questions)

Hmm i don't remember, what parts of the code does it show up in?

Wha?

It says something like:

If {L1+700}
prgmTRANS
Else
RecallPic
End

And what I meant was like, does the engine switch from level to level yet at all?

Builderboy:
It looks like L1+700 is the flag to determine whether or not to play the transition animation when a level is loaded.  By default it is off because there is no transition when the game is loaded, but then it is set to 1 for all the transitions after that.  If the level is restarted, the flag should be reset in addition. 

I believe that automatic level transition is in a semi-workable state, and 4.5 is the version you should be using.

C0deH4cker:
Yeah, L1 is 714 bytes large. If you have nore flags, you could do bit checking for 8 flags per byte. The e symbol is useful for this.
