You need to edit the dmap. There's a section after all the coordinate data that has a portal_count and a list of portals. You can hex edit the data in, make sure you update the portal_count. It'd be esier to do with code than trying to do manually though.

like brave.dmap?
i dont see any information inside it about portals or counts or coordinates

Read a uint32 at 268 and another at 272. Multiply the first by 6, add 4 to the result, then multiply the result by the second uint32, Finally add 280. This will give you the location in the dmap where the portal data starts. First is a uint32 of the portal_count, then each portal contains a uint32 for it's x, y position, and there's another uint32 that should be set to zero (although can be set to other values for a different kind of portal).

just curious what do the other portal types do?...

Just to say, HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW THAT FIRST SENTENCE, IT IS LIKE TOTALLY RANDOM?!??

awe come on tao, that makes perfect sense -- however my Hex file reader i made the other night sucks ass and I cant quite add portals with it XD (needs some tweaking.,.. never really worked with hex before)

Lol, making your own hex file reader :p

You using System::IO::BinaryReader?
